confidence in STEM and impacts on retention.Dr. Kimberly Catton P.E., Colorado State University Professor of Practice Mechanical EngineeringMr. Bert Vermeulen, Colorado State University Bert Vermeulen earned bachelors and masters degrees in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a masters degree in business from Stanford University. He has been teaching engineering design classes and introductory engineering classes at Colorado State University since 2009. Prior to teaching, Bert had over 20 years of practical industry experience in engineering, management, and entrepreneurship. His courses are focused on providing practical hands-on engineering experience. In addition to teaching
University of Colorado-Boulder.7 This study occurred during the pilotimplementation of the pedagogy seminar.6 As the seminar was specifically designed for the UTFsstaffing ENES100, its coursework covered engineering pedagogical concepts such as designthinking, metacognition, teamwork and collaboration, equity, and convergent and divergentthinking. Some of the seminar’s activities assigned to UTFs included reading and reflecting onengineering/math/science education literature, creating field notes on their teaching moments inENES100, and analyzing video of students reasoning with design thinking and scientificconcepts. The course instructors intended the pedagogy seminar to include in-class discussionsand activities which were relevant to some of
facilitators of a student-led learning process [12]. Engineering educators have adapted similar PBL approaches such as capstone designprojects and engineering student design teams to complement the more traditional, basic-sciencebased engineering curriculum. Project-based learning (noted as PBL*) team opportunities arequalitatively different than traditional PBL efforts in one demonstrable way. Engineering projectteams tend to engage more complex design challenges over a longer period of time compared toin class PBL investigations commonly used in medicine[2]. This qualitative difference createstwo organizational challenges unique to engineering project-based learning teams. Student PBL* teams must sustain team motivation throughout a

Classes were held in distance learning classrooms at each school.Course broadcasting and web-archiving facilities were enabled through resources provided byPitt’s Bioengineering Department. The course met once a week for three hours. NCAT, whoseengineering graduate students did not have any prior biology knowledge, were providedadditional biology orientation by organizing a weekly recitation session staffed by qualifiedgraduate students recruited from NCAT’s Department of Biology. This course was led by one of this paper’s authors (Roy), a professor in thebioengineering department at Pitt with an established track record of research in this field.

narrative research methods and is interested more broadly in interpretive research methods. In her research, Dr. Kellam is broadly interested in developing critical understandings of the culture of engineering education and, espe- cially, the experiences of underrepresented undergraduate engineering students and engineering educators. In addition to teaching undergraduate engineering courses and a graduate course on entrepreneurship, she also enjoys teaching qualitative research methods in engineering education in the Engineering Education Systems and Design PhD program at ASU. She is deputy editor of the Journal of Engineering Education.Dr. Shawn S. Jordan, Arizona State University, Polytechnic campus SHAWN JORDAN, Ph.D
identity development, and providing mentoring relationships to help foster student growth and success.Dr. Cheryl A Bodnar, Rowan University Dr. Bodnar is an Associate Professor in the Experiential Engineering Education Department at Rowan University. Her research interests relate to the incorporation of active learning techniques such as game- based learning in undergraduate classes as well as integration of innovation and entrepreneurship into the engineering curriculum. In particular, she is interested in the impact that these tools can have on stu- dent perception of the classroom environment, motivation and learning outcomes. She was selected to participate in the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) Frontiers of
