The full paper including those details will be shared at a future ASEE nationalconference.Among our interviewees, the single most often cited challenge to engaging with makerspaceswas unresponsive or hostile/dismissive interactions with student workers at the makerspace.While it’s worth noting that among the regular users of campus makerspaces the staff wereperceived as friendly and helpful, if often

thinking. Anzaldúa [16] argue that challenging traditional and normative notionsof reality becomes a way to challenge traditional methodologies – a process ofdecolonization. For engineering education research, this process of decolonization isparticularly important because counternarratives are necessary to more critically assess thecultures of engineering [6, 19, 20]. Nepantla offers a framework for examining howsociopolitical forces—intersections of ideologies, behaviors, beliefs, values, and dominantpolicies—have shaped the educational journey of Latino/a/x engineering students,challenging established notions of what constitutes reality and for whom [21]. It provides aparticular framework that breaks from the traditional white methods [22] used

These products can also be used for the effective design of medical devices and otherproducts.In addition to the physical products of this project, working on the project has allowed thestudents involved to grow beyond merely understanding concepts taught in the mechanicalengineering curriculum. Through applying concepts and tools from previous courses, analyzingdata and other results, evaluating alternative problem-solving methods and ultimately creating atest system that can be used for meaningful research, students have prepared themselves to beeffective engineers and have become more engaged in their own learning than they ever could bein

education inmiddle school. The research was implemented in two phases: (1) literature exploration (this wasa pre-phase approach adapted from [4]; and (2) analysis guided by synthesis approaches used by[23]. The first pre-phase consisted of searching broadly if CRP was used in the STEM Educationresearch literature. To accomplish this, I searched Google Scholar using relevant keywords (i.e.,"culturally relevant pedagogies" + "STEM Education" + pre-college). Following, I assessed theextent to which articles addressed ideas related to my research inquiry (e.g., were the papersengaging with pre-college groups, were the papers using CRP as a guiding framework, etc.).Lastly, I limited my search to papers that were published within the last ten years

basic methodology consists of seven steps, analyze, integrate, iterate, converge,screen, visualize, and assess risk1. Some examples of methodologies used by aircraft designers inthe past, which were used as an initial starting point for this project, were design texts byRoskam8, Raymer16, Nicolai7 and Torenbeek15. The methodology produced by each designerrepresents a final refined methodology that took years of experience before a true aircraft designmethodology was fashioned. After comparing all methodologies, a combination of Raymer’s16and Torenbeek’s15 methodology is used to develop Skybrid Aeronautics methodology.Figure 6 Overall MethodologyThe flow of information is also visualized from the methodology in Figure 6.

The studentsfrequently neglected to make observations and identify flaws and Crismond hypothesized thatidea fixation is simply due to novices not noticing weaknesses in their current prototype.In a subsequent paper, Crimson and Adams [8] stated that beginning designers use “anunfocused, non-analytical way to view prototypes during testing and troubleshooting of ideas

The study concluded that “graduate students’ perceptions of theideal mentor are influenced somewhat by major socio-cultural factors, but also suggest thatindividual differences may play a larger role” [25]. Mutual respect fosters an environment ofstrong relationship for effective engagement and attracts students who commit and want tofollow the mentor because, relationally, the students are motivated by the sense that the mentorcares for them more than his or her positional rights, and so are willing to follow in theirmentor’s directives
