A study abroad course is one way to accomplish this goal. International experiencesgive our students an edge over other students and allow them to apply their knowledge to solveproblems outside of their comfort zone. Understanding different materials and methods ofconstruction expands their knowledge. The overall experience adds to their marketable skillswhen entering the workforce.

In part, this difficulty stemsfrom limited understanding of how students’ conceptual knowledge emerges through interactionwith these adaptive tools. In a previous study, we have explained the components and how wequantitatively tested the adaptive logic of a newly developed Crystallography Adaptive LearningModule (CALM) in materials science. In the current study, we use a knowledge-in-piecesframework that views learning as the activation and coordination of resources.

The NGSS focus on three strands of science learning, (1)disciplinary core ideas, (2) science and engineering practices, and (3) cross cutting concepts. Thestandards are aimed to focus on big ideas that blend with practices and cross-cutting concepts inorder to allow students the opportunity to explore and engage with these ideas in a meaningfuland applied way.

style models serve as an initial approach to recognizing that individuals vary in theways they process and interact with information. Personalized education and learning stylemodels both aim to address the individual needs of learners, moving away from one-size-fits-allapproaches. Both perspectives share a core objective: tailoring education to accommodate learnerdiversity. While learning style models categorize learners based on certain preferences,personalized education builds on this idea by using data analytics and technology to createnuanced, individualized, and adaptive learning paths [10] that are based on learner profiles,attitudes, and prior knowledge and are flexible and self-paced [11].

So, we anticipate that it will be challenging work for engineering students to come to see the harm precipitated by these ideologies. However, little previous work has explored how and to what end these ideological narratives emerge in engineering students’ reasoning (Lambrinidou & Caney, 2016; Lachney & Banks, 2017; Papak, Gupta & Turpen, 2018; Canney, 2018).
