scientists often develop new technologies ordiscover new phenonena from basic science research and seek to identify problems they cansolve. Technology-first designers follow a design process as they work on ill-defined problemswith many uncertainties and approach tasks with no right or wrong answers, only better or worse[20], [21].The I-Corps participants follow the curriculum developed by Steve Blank to investigate thecommercialization potential of their technology and identify various uses of technologies using astandard process that entails customer discovery to identify potential partners and meetings withinvestors to gain insights on developing a viable product [22]. Participants in the program arerequired to complete over 100 interviews with

research-based practices, demonstration of how toproperly implement these practices in the classroom is tenuous and generally not in the scope ofthe program.2 Even though faculty members are becoming more aware of research-basededucation practices and value their use in their classrooms, the adoption of these research-basededucation practices in engineering education has not been widespread.3 For example, Pimmel(2003) demonstrated that less than half of faculty had indicated that they made changes to theirinstruction after participating in a faculty development workshop. The common face-to-faceworkshop faculty development approach is limiting because workshops are geographicallyisolating,5 adhere to a standard ‘one-size-fits-all’ curriculum

andCommitment to Relativism) according Perry’s theory (nearly 88%). Prior findings indicatedthat most of engineering undergraduate students’ epistemological development was inmultiplicity [22, 23, 31]. We speculate that different factors could have facilitated students’development in their thinking styles along the Perry’s scale. Other researchers have pointedout possible factors, such as the advisor-students interactions [8], curriculum content andstructure [24], etc. may have close association with students’ epistemic thinking. Our follow-upinterviews with students suggest that factors that are related with their internationalcollaborative educational environment may also have influenced their epistemologicaldevelopment.Preliminary results showed

development of a survey instrument that contributes to understanding engineering identitydevelopment and career aspirations in elementary students. We draw from work on bothengineering and science identity development throughout.Current StudyStudies that examine the development of one’s engineering and science identity often utilizeinterviews or case-study methodology [8, 15-16]. While informative, such approaches often arenot pragmatic in classroom settings with large numbers of students when the goal is to learnabout or examine changes in students’ STEM identities and aspirations in general or after using aSTEM-related program or curriculum [17]. Existing surveys that assess identity often target highschool or post-secondary students [18-19] with
literature relevant to their new project. Course 1 culminates in a written literaturereview. The second course, taken in year 2 of graduate study, is for students who have generatedsome findings and are preparing to disseminate their work in a professional venue. Course 2focuses on writing in the standards of the discipline, using CT to guide the writing process. Itculminates in a major but flexible writing assignment proposed by the student and advisor.Course development began in 2010 after UofSC established a graduate program in BiomedicalEngineering. The graduate curriculum specified coursework under the general heading ofprofessional development and ethics, from which the subject courses evolved. While the coursesare required for graduate

paper will discuss the approach used to conducta successful program, using only mentored undergraduate students to design, develop andoperate small satellites of nano-satellite and micro-satellite size. All of these satelliteshave Air Force and DoD space experiments as their mission.II. BackgroundThe USAF Academy started experimenting with small satellites via cadet-builtprototypes that were “launched” on high altitude balloons. These projects gave thestudents immediate, hands-on experience and allowed the Astronautics Department togradually evolve the curriculum to accommodate increasingly more ambitious spaceprojects. This initial development culminated in the launch of FalconGold in October1997. FalconGold was a 15 Kg fixed, secondary
