With regard to development, faculty reported devoting 5-10hours/week each during the implementation semester (Fall 2020) spent solely on platformimplementation, meetings, quality testing and debugging prior to use of the materials in Spring2021. An additional 5-10 hours per week during the deployment semester was also required fortesting and debugging given the build timeline. It should be noted that this is a separate timecommitment from writing the material and problems, as the lead faculty had substantial materialprepared prior

Infuture quarters we may try to simplify the programming somewhat, but still want students to gainsome experience in programming and in creating a generalizable solution. Another challenge isthat the MEAs are not always popular, particularly in a fundamental course such asdynamics. Some students complain that they should not be writing memos in such a difficultcourse, and that time might be better spent elsewhere. One student remarked, however, “I willremember doing these projects like you said I would and I will forget doing the textbookproblems,” and another that “making one program to work four accidents did connect thedifferent

Onestudy had shown belongingness is related to engineering identity25, but this research studydemonstrated that students feel belongingness either by being similar to their peers (separatefrom engineering identity) or having experiences that made engineering identity constructssalient thus allowing them to feel like they belonged.Two participants, Henry and Scott, talked about a unifying engineering mindset that made themfeel they belonged.

This movementrecognizes the motivational potential of design as a context for learning engineering content, but typicallyfocuses in many ways on the longer-term and iterative aspects of design experiences. A complementaryapproach, however, is the development of designiettes within design courses, general engineering courseactivities, supporting fundamentals courses toward an engineering degree, integrated and coordinateddesign activities across semester offerings, or outreach activities with the community or K-12 programs.But what is a designiette?Designiettes, “design vignettes”, or “designettes1,” are glimpses, snapshots, small-scale, short turnaroundand well-scoped design problems, or mini design projects
