The programis called Pre-Engineering Education Collaborative, PEEC, and has seen a certainamount of success. having graduated 6 degreed engineers from this collaborative todate [1]. One of the concerns with any such sponsored program is to ensure continuedrecruitment and resulting institutionalization of the program. Critical to recruitment is thedrive to stay relevant and attractive to the next generation of students. This isparticularly challenging in the reservation communities which are under-resourced, notonly in a financial

, etc.Tinkering has been defined as a type of making that sits on the more creative and improvisationalcontinuum where things could fail in unexpected and sometimes wonderful ways [1]. Thisapproach relies on materials, phenomena and models to inspire ideas along with a collaborativeculture of facilitators and fellow tinkers to support learners in realizing their ideas [2]. A learningdimensions framework for Making and Tinkering developed by the Exploratorium [3] providedguidance and structure to the “tinkering” instructional initiative for this project. Although theframework was generated with K-12 informal learning experiences in mind, it offers a promisingpedagogical approach for undergraduate engineering education.

The eight characteristics are detailed as follows: Encourage a Realistic Engineering Design Process. One goal of EDSGN 100 design projects is to introduce students to the use of an engineering design process. To this end, it is crucial for instructors to scaffold the project so that students develop a connection between the engineering design process and the activities, lessons, and modules in the course. This can include i) working from an explicit design process and ii) demanding iteration. Previous research has demonstrated the importance of connecting engineering education with professional practice to form
