school robotics teams play important roles and influence workingenvironments. The commonplace use of the terms mentor and mentoring in out-of-schoolrobotics activities has opened up new areas of mentoring research. This study observed elevenrobotics teams participating in the FIRST Robotics Competition investigating how the dosage ofmentoring impacted student behavioral and learning outcomes. Results showed more mentorinvolvement led students to experience an apprenticeship structure as students learned bywatching, and showed less mentor involvement led students to experience an autonomousstructure as students learned by doing.Introduction Many have come to view robotics as a new approach to improving education and interestin the fields
incorporate math and scienceinterests and experiences.IntroductionIn view of the current situation of the STEM education pipeline, the President’s Council ofAdvisors in Science and Technology (PCAST) recently called for one million additional STEMgraduates over the next ten years.1 One way to address the need for more STEM graduates isthrough understanding what causes students to choose engineering and how to more effectivelyrecruit them upon entrance into college.A potential way to begin to address this need for a greater pool of new engineering students isthrough the interpretive framework of critical engineering agency. This perspectives is rooted incritical science agency theory which has been developed in qualitative research in scienceeducation
