in terms of four key assets that students with inclusiveprofessional identities will possess: (a) the necessary technical knowledge, skills, and abilities towork in their chosen field, (b) an appreciation for how all kinds of diversity strengthenengineering and computer science as disciplines, (c) knowledge of how to act in inclusive waysand create inclusive environments within their fields and (d) preparation to consider a diversepopulation of users when designing. Of note, the project espouses a broad definition of diversity[1], which includes diversity in terms of problem-solving approaches, personalities, anddemographic characteristics as well as cognitive, social, and personal characteristics.

our survey. First, the survey will need to be combined with theother data sources to fully answer our overall project’s research questions (Appendix B), andthese additional sources are outside of the scope of this paper. Second, more data is needed tocompare pre- and post-integration results to measure any changes in sociotechnical thinking thatmay result from sociotechnical integration. Also, further analysis is needed to better characterizesimilarities and differences across institutions and other factors beyond course year.Future work will focus on addressing these limitations. In addition, we are also interested inthese questions, among others: Can we articulate a more explicit conceptualization of “habits of mind” and the means to
education, (b) supporting teachers and outreach coordinators toimplement lessons and modules on PV science and engineering, and (c) fostering teacher’sconfidence in developing PV engineering curriculum. To achieve these aims, the QESSTprogram designed a summer research experience to provide classroom teachers opportunities todevelop connections between PV engineering research labs and the classroom. Participants spendfive weeks conducting use-inspired PV research, working with world-class PV scholars, anddesigning solar energy lessons for their classrooms, working with educational researchers andinstructional designers.The eleven teachers in the program split their time between learning about various socio-technical aspects of PV (visiting PV

In general, the results from bothstatistical analyses were in close alignment with one another.Important results from the surveys are listed below: a) The students showed increases in task value through their participation in this project although effect sizes were small b) The students’ self-efficacy scores generally increased with a statistically significant increase in “I can figure out how to do difficult work” (p=0.011 for both tests; Cohen’s d = 0.364). c) Students self-regulation of learning showed statistically significant differences in
