In the Next Generation Science Standards, “Defining and delimitingengineering problems” is one of three core components of the design process. For grades K-2,children should be able to “Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about asituation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through thedevelopment of a new or improved object or tool.” This is based on the 2012 National ResearchCouncil report that suggests that by the end of grade 2, children should understand that “asituation that people want to change or create can be approached as a problem to be

value of exerting effort. Construction Management faculty can supportstudents’ motivational beliefs and academic achievement through the use of instructionalpractices that remind students about the important role that effort plays in success [37].There are three main cognitive motivational theories: goal theory, expectancy value theory, andattribution theory that apply to students.In goal theory, motivation is induced by the discrepancy between their current condition asstudents and their future condition (i.e., goal) of being a practicing professional. Self-efficacy, orone’s ability to succeed in a specific situation, plays a significant role in goal theory. A student’sgoals should be challenging but not be perceived as beyond their capability

[Spring 2017] Understanding of Science Teachers noted that students’ experiences in IC taught them about the process ofscience, including the role of iteration, working through adversity and failure, theinterdisciplinary nature of science, and the need for practicing rather than memorizing. They saw that too, like I should have changed this and I should have changed this, and they get to see what errors have occurred and what they should have changed.

P: The first couple of semesters I was full time were annoying because I was treated as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA), even though I wasn’t. My hiring was done through the GTA program coordinator rather than being hired by the department chair like the other lecturers. During that time I was also teaching an intro-level class which is a class that is exclusively taught by GTAs. It was very second-class for a while.

The most notable example of this is the NextGeneration Science Standards (NGSS), released in 2013. The NGSS not only includes standardsfocused directly on engineering, but also lists engineering design as one of four primary domainsof science.Since educational standards are defined on a state-by-state basis, the direct impact of the NGSSis limited to the states which choose to adopt them. Beyond this, however, the NGSS have anindirect impact
