the same time, engineering design is part of the curricularstandards for the subject matter of what should be taught (teaching about engineering). TheNGSS standards address this duality through the approach of “three-dimensional learning” whichemphasizes how core disciplinary ideas, science and engineering practices, and cross-cuttingconcepts, are all brought together in teaching and learning. Three-dimensional learning, based onthe K-12 Framework for Science Learning [6], is inherently a situative learning perspective thatrecognizes how the learning of science content (i.e., disciplinary core ideas) occurs throughparticipation in science activities and engagement with the work of inquiry and design (i.e.,science and engineering practices

The benefits are numerous when aneducator reconnects with their ever changing technical profession. Some of the more recent changes have included:• We are deeply into the electronic-information era. New styles of education are possible and probably required.• The appearance and organization of professional offices has been affected, as the changes being wrought by the computer move at blinding speed.• Student portfolios and educational outcome results have changed. Firm hiring practices and recruitment strategies are much more aggressive
history of bridging content from engineering andliberal education, but the making activities that are currently being carried out have not yet beentheorized as one of the mechanisms through which technical-social integration is achieved. In thepaper, we provide specific examples of making practices and projects that exemplify the desiredintegration, and then argue that even engineering-centered design pedagogy can make use ofmaking activities as a vehicle for integrating critical social inquiry and humanistic educationalframeworks.Background: Making in the Context of the Digital HumanitiesAs in engineering (and STEM fields generally), making activities have been embraced in thehumanities and interpretive social sciences. In fact, wide-ranging

The effect of undergraduates involved inadvancing research in a Hispanic institution was evinced in the literature [20]. In this enrichingenvironment, college students became main authors and co-authors of numerous peer-reviewedpublications [21]-[22]. By involving undergraduates through critical thinking in a highlyfocused problem-solving project, this project seeks to develop a cadre of not only creativescholars but also socially- and environmentally-conscious ones [23].Professional development assessment cannot be implemented for partaking undergraduates untilpostgraduation, which falls beyond the scope of this work

expand the ways engineering education researchershave considered recognition. Specifically, this model indicates a need to move beyond theconsideration of recognition as being perceived and include how this recognition is interpreted asmeaningful. The stories told through the use-cases offer suggestions on what sources should betargeted when designing curriculum meant to support recognition opportunities.For students characterized by use-case 1, teaching practices can be designed to facilitaterecognition from a broad array of sources. Since students in this use-case are not yet selectiveabout who can recognize their engineering identity, frequent access to recognition from peersand upper-level students may be sufficient.

For the course project, the first-year studentswere required to design a 65,000 ft2 community park on a brownfield site in Charleston, SC, witha $5,000,00 budget for site cleanup and redevelopment. A few assessments were implemented,including weekly summary reports, poster creation, presentations, peer evaluation on teamwork,reflection assignment, and a survey. This paper discusses the redesign of the course through thebackward design approach, the implementation of project-based learning, and the assessment ofactivities. Additionally, it provides insights into its implementations in other institutions.BackgroundEML has emerged as a relevant educational approach fostering an

without consideration of existing course content [1].In the second phase of the project, the team reviewed existing courses. The goal of thisundertaking was to review how and when specific knowledge, skills, and abilities are developedand delivered as students currently progress through the program, and to identify gaps betweenexisting and desired program outcomes [1]. A key take-away from the review process ishighlighted below (emphasis added): “The exercise of intentionally reviewing course and program outcomes provided us insight into the program that did not previously exist. We learned, perhaps for the first time, what topics our colleagues are covering in their courses, what approaches and techniques they use in the classroom, and

His current work seeks to analyze and describe the tensions, contradictions, and cultural collisions many Latino/a/x students expe- rience in engineering through testimonios.

articles attempted to address misconceptions. Thus, there appears to be a need forresearch that addresses misconceptions. We might suggest focusing on prevalently reportedmisconceptions, such as physics term confusion and appropriate application of Ohm's Law.IntroductionMisconceptions in circuit analysis have been investigated by many researchers, and researchershave identified numerous issues: Conceptual [1][2][3][4], term confusion [5][6], fundamentalmathematical skills [7][8], incomplete metaphor [9][10], and diagnostics to identify suchmisconceptions [5][11]. Further, researchers have investigated many aspects: Communitycollege through research university levels, laboratory and lecture settings, and across differentlearning materials.However

As EPICS is a design course, the topic of design was explicitly probedthroughout the survey. Moreover, interview participants often recounted how their designexperiences in EPICS informed their current design experiences. Through the thematic analysis,we recognized themes related to design to be quite pervasive in the interview accounts.The objective of this particular paper is to articulate how authentic design experiences, such asEPICS, affect alums in how they understand and practice design in their careers.
