expect youth to do as inventors is different at everygrade level (elementary, middle, and high school). Nonetheless, when educators position youthto invent, they co-create a hybrid space that favors youth to become agents of change. In theselearning spaces, youth enact their agency by identifying a problem, researching the problem frommany points of view, and identifying novel and unique ways to solve the problem. The resultinginvention is designed for a particular user but is also pertinent to a particular community andmultiple users within the community. Reciprocally, the inventor gains practical knowledge andsocial skills within the opportunity to invent. We argue that Invention Education promotesresponsive and transformative learning by

The common denominator was that none had taken part in continuing education duringthe preceding six years. Klus and Jones (1975)4 found a direct statistical relationship between individualengineers’ salaries and their participation in continuing education. Dalton and Thompson (1971) however,found no relationship between performance ratings of engineers and participation in continuing education. Thelimited research on the impact of continuing education contributes to the confusion. ._Current trends in continuing education are encouraging more attention to this area of inquiry

Formal teaching methods are often not supplied – and practical experience is limited,often resulting in poor and ineffective communication between faculty and students.This paper will address a potential solution towards preparing graduate students in becomingfuture engineering faculty. The paper will focus on several engineering graduate students whoparticipated in a grant linking their education, research, and career development. Thedevelopment of the graduate students in the program is rooted in a 20 hour a week commitmentto develop and implement self-created, engineering and research related lessons in local highschools throughout the academic year.
