predictions can betested using remotely controlled equipment. Data analysis can be performed using simulated dataor data gathered by the students in lab. Choosing appropriate engineering analysis methods ortools can be simulated easily, and ethical, clear communication of laboratory results does notrequire students to be physically present in any particular place. However, it is difficult forstudents to work on open ended experiments, work meaningfully in teams, and demonstratecreativity in many existing alternatives to physical lab experiments.Lab experiments for distance learning vary widely in terms of how they are administered andpresented.

of the contextual and temporal nature of individualexperiences, allowing for variation in each individual’s experience. This provided usefulinsight into strengths and weaknesses in different projects, often in terms of how explicitlythe projects relate to students’ conceptions of engineering. On the other hand, separating thedata from the rich narrative of individual students led to a loss of the affective layer of data. Itwas interesting to see how their affinity for their conceptions of engineering practice and theirown success in the other science courses frame their experience of this course. We found itdifficult to capture this layer using phenomenography

, numerous micro-level studies havefocused on developing specific STEM-related skills. For instance, there’s a course titled“Catch the Wind: Design a Windmill,” aiming to equip students with the ability toharness wind energy through engineering design. It leverages physics knowledge aboutwind energy, material properties, windmill construction, and angular concepts to enablestudents to create devices powered by wind. This course targets not only competencybut also the cultivation of scientific values [18]. STEM literacy is distinguished fromsingular STEM literacy, because it highlights the skills and practices that are unique toeach particular discipline, and therefore not applicable in all the other disciplines [19].Often facilitated by digital

The result is a multi-modal analysis which will then be brought intoconversation with previous work on 32 interviews with

We believe by highlighting the disciplinary knowledge of the staff, students can askquestions to individuals with specific disciplinary knowledge to advance their design and askquestions about disciplines of interests.To support the camp initiatives, we provide the staff a series of training materials that includesreadings, reflections, and discussions with returning staff members. We divide the trainingmaterials into two categories: instructional and research support. The training materials designedto support instruction includes overviews of the engineering design process, strategies

These models canbe operated on to generate knowledge about the properties and behavior of these systems [4]. Many ofthe models engineers produce for their work are represented with a system of mathematical equations(first principles or empirical), or the models are a system of rules that define the behavior of the system.The challenge is how to think with these models, that is, generate useful knowledge to inform decisionsrelated to the problem at hand. In some cases the engineer may be able to perform mental computation, orhand calculation to determine a solution

Specializationsseem to have emerged driven by perceived market demand or in response to a need for advancedcapability perceived by some level of government, perhaps due to a local condition rather than anational one.

In the simplest ofterms, public opinion does not recognize that an engineer is a problem solver, and a technician isa “doer”, a highly trained worker to perform specific tasks [20]. Also in occupational field, thereare misconceptions of real role of engineers and technicians in hand-on activities.

However, the students had contradictory perceptions of the level ofspecificity and vagueness in the GTA feedback. This study supports the notion that studentsneed training and education both in how to give feedback as well as how to respond to feedback.I.
