Engagement in PBL required epistemologicalactivity that was at odds with students’ notion of how to construct knowledge in a traditionalacademic setting. Assessments, a key feature of traditional education, gave students a referencefor how their engagement in PBL aligned with course goals and specified learning outcomes. Assuch, quiz-taking afforded students a metric by which to measure their own learning in PBL, andhenceforth find value in their epistemological activity in

It seems that adding a brief list of technical terms into a curriculum andthen using them may remedy this shortcoming.Another technical way to describe parts is leveraging how the part is manufactured or modeled.The students used the occasional modeling or machining term; however, they frequently andeffectively used the manufacturing term bend while describing the electrical boxes.

A publication of theNational Academies of Engineers indicates that K-12 engineering education improves students’ability to apply mathematics and science skills [1]. However, in a study of Project Lead theWay, a widely-used high school engineering curriculum that measures achievement throughstandardized testing between 8th and 10th grade, researchers found that enrolled students sawlower improvement in
