thinkingconcepts and practices to pre-college and college students as they prepare for careers in a highlytechnical world [2]. In 2006, the CS-for-All movement and other educational initiativesdetermined that computational thinking was a fundamental skill that all students, regardless oftheir intention to pursue a career in a technical field, should learn [3]. Many universities,including Carnegie Melon, followed suit and began offering computational thinking courses fornon-computer science majors [4].Many of the computational thinking courses that emerged are taught using a lecture basedapproach, where students spend the majority of class time listening to an instructor talk aboutcomputational thinking concepts [5]. This type of learning is referred to as

MOTIVATION AND BACKGROUND Additive manufacturing (AM, or 3D printing) technology is quickly becoming a common sightin cornerstone engineering design courses [1,2]. The reason is twofold: (i) AM is set to be adominant tool for end-use manufacturing (and thus it benefits engineering students to be exposedas soon in their careers as possible) and (ii) low-cost AM systems can enable rapid prototypingand iteration in the design process, while dovetailing well with computer-aided design (CAD)skills also learned in cornerstone design courses.

At University Park, the sessions areheld in different rooms (what we refer to as “Make Spaces”) to support learning and applicationof different design tools. For instance, computer labs support learning and use of computer-aidedengineering (CAE) software; flexible teaming spaces with and without computers supportvarious design project activities (e.g., low-fidelity prototyping, sketching lessons, conceptgeneration and selection). Students have access to a shop-based Make Space in which theyconstruct design

to improvethe first-year experience of engineering students.Course background The vast majority of Penn State first-year engineering students need to takeEDSGN 100 to learn about the engineering design process, explore engineering as a career option,and at the same time learn about how to achieve academic success. At the Behrend College, up to400 students go through EDSGN 100 every year, with a larger cohort in fall and a smaller cohortin the spring semester. Each cohort of students attends a common face-to-face lecture once a week(online for honors students). They participate in a weekly computer lab in sections of up to 25students each and again work on the two group projects during the 2-hour recitation. There istremendous coordination

The perception of a white-men dominated environment canoften result in unfair stereotypes and biases imposed on women and people of color.
