Maxey, Purdue University, West Lafayette Kayla is a doctoral student in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research interest includes the influence of informal engineering learning experiences on diverse students’ attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions of engineering, and the relationship between students’ interests and the practices and cultures of engineering. Her current work at the FACE lab is on teaching strategies for K
expectations.Discussion & ConclusionThe preliminary evaluation, based on survey responses, suggests that the program succeeded in improvingstudents’ knowledge about basic concepts of operating collaborative robots and manufacturing machinetools. This result reveals that experiential learning-based, pre-college engineering education programs, canbe an effective learning opportunity appropriate for, not only high school students, but also middle schoolstudents [16, 17]. This program provided the middle school students with hands-on activities which werewell-aligned to real-world manufacturing situations in an engaging and age-appropriate way.Furthermore, involving undergraduate engineering students as instructors in the program provided avaluable mentorship

Engineering Education, 2019 Students’ Experience with Collaborative Engineering Design Challenges in a Middle School Engineering Course (Evaluation)IntroductionThe recent emergence of engineering as a curricular priority in K-12 schools has spurred thedevelopment and implementation of new approaches for engaging students of all ages in theengineering design process [1]. With this increased prominence of engineering as a K-12discipline, education researchers have begun to explore the outcomes of engineering educationin the context of K-12 schools. One review of P-12 engineering students from 2000 - 2015documented an increase in engineering education research during this period, highlighting anumber of themes within the literature

Students construct meaning and develop epistemic understandingsthrough discourse, interactions, and social practices, which collectively make up epistemicpractices [1], [2]. As integrated STEM and engineering education evolves, it is important tounderstand epistemic practices of engineering (EPEs) that promote new understandings,including how students use ideas and materials to construct meaning during small groupengineering design activities. In particular, small group collaborative engineering contexts offeropportunities to examine interactions and discourse to study how verbal (statements
