Most of the students took an intermediate algebra course in the morning, andparticipated in the engineering activities in the afternoon.In order to evaluate the program, several variables were measured at the beginning and the endof the program: knowledge of pre-college level algebra; academic “locus of control”; andattitudes toward the field of engineering. The attitudinal measure included items concerningcommitment to the field of engineering, knowledge of the field of engineering and whatengineers actually do, attitudes toward the profession of engineering, the student’s belief that heor she is capable of becoming an engineer, and attitudes toward math, chemistry, and physics.The field trips

By now, theidea of an inverted classroom is becoming well known within all levels of teaching. Thekey concept is for faculty to pre-record their lectures for students to watch before the classmeets, then to use the class time for interactive activities that help the students resolvemisunderstandings and develop deeper insight into the course materials. Recent advancesin video capability built into all our computers and tablets along with the increasedavailably of high-speed internet connections coupled with seemingly unrestricted storagein the cloud has made the feasibility of providing online explanations of the

that most Engineering students have a basic understanding of the SISystem of Units. In fact, many students readily feel that they have a good understanding of the SI System of Units when theyinitially begin their college educations. However, it readily becomes apparent that even though they can apply the equationsthat they have learned in their lectures toward problem solution, that they have little understanding of the inherent interactionof the units within those equations. Many engineering students could not use dimensional analysis to determine the correctequation on a test, if they had forgotten the proper order of the variables in the equation.

Our research aims to characterize the intellectual resourcesavailable to children as they engage in design challenges and to describe the process by whichthese design activities may promote development of mechanistic reasoning.
