(or ignore) theculture of engineering within academic makerspaces.IntroductionFunded through the National Science Foundation Research Initiation in Engineering Formation(REIF) program, WWU university created a peer mentoring program focused on supportingstudents socially within an academic makerspace. The goal of the program is to increasing senseof belonging in undergraduate engineering students by engaging them in non-technical workwhile supporting social connection and developing community. This study is the first of its kindto explore how peer mentors develop and support makerspace activities explicitly focused oninclusive engagement and how those experiences impact their development as mentors.

Their thematic analysisyielded three themes that linked pre-college experiences to the early undergraduate experiencesof their participants: external influences of college expectations, precollege primers, andeducational and social empowerment. This study suggests that external factors are important tohelping students embark on a trajectory towards the engineering community, but McGee’s(2015; 2014) work indicates that even a positive trajectory motivated by such external factorsmust at some point be converted into a primarily internal motivation. In summary, black malesuccess in

One contribution of this study is a language for making visible teachers’ designthinking knowledge, the teaching techniques they use to convey this knowledge, and the kinds of designthinking they want to observe in their students. Teachers can use this to make sense of their own experiencesand use it as a tool to discuss their experiences within a larger community of practice.

According to Lauren Resnick 30 “What you assess is whatyou get; if you don't test it you won't get it. To improve student performance we must recognizethat essential intellectual abilities are falling through the cracks of conventional testing”. In otherwords, if assignments and assessment are not designed to adequately capture learnercompetencies, important formative insights may be lost. For

We conceptualized these issues as problems and reduced the disparate data sources into acollection of over 500 problems. We then sought to organize the problems, focusing on fourdifferent types: identity, experience, conceptual knowledge or portfolio construction (and also“other”).
