Groupwork during a Robotics Project (Fundamental)1. IntroductionOver the last decade, with the ever-increasing demand of STEM majors for the job market and theintroduction of Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) [1], the need for introducing andintegrating engineering design and practices within the K-12 curriculum has risen. Accordingly,professional development programs have been seeking to prepare teachers for incorporatingengineering design concepts and various engineering practices into their curriculum. As anexample, over the last two decades, educational robotics has become increasingly popular as (i) alearning tool that is deemed to promote students learning of STEM topics and (ii) a learning objectthat can mediate student learning about

The best thing I like is flying the flight simulator and using excel to calculate our data.

They also aimed to make the engineeringattitudes section a more comprehensive measure by including items relevant to engineeringcareers requiring a Bachelor’s degree as well as those not requiring a Bachelor’s degree, liketechnologists. The team developed new questions to include words like “design,” “create,” and“imagine” as well as words like “build” and “fix.” They renamed the engineering section“Engineering and Technology” to reflect the new focus on the work of not only engineers butalso of technologists and other skilled

For instance, women engineering studentswho struggle in a programming course may leave engineering [5], [6], but little is known aboutthe role of emotions in student retention in engineering. A few researchers are beginning toinvestigate student emotions in the context of engineering education [7], [8].The purpose of this research is to investigate the emotions that first-year engineering studentsexperience during programming tasks.
