are the overarching methods, including cognitive and metacognitivestrategies, that students apply to their learning [11], [12]. Three major approaches to learning are:  Surface Learning: extrinsically motivated to meet external requirements to the minimum extent permissible, to enable a student to “get by” and pass the course;  Deep Learning: intrinsically motivated, whereby the student engages with the course material in a meaningful way, wants to understand it thoroughly, and seeks additional knowledge about it, and  Achieving Learning: extrinsically or intrinsically motivated, where the primary motivation is achieving a high grade, through either a surface or a deep approach, depending on

social justice themes into technical curricula. 1. IntroductionThe purpose of this practice research paper is to underscore the profound need for social andenvironmental justice (EJ) teachings in engineering education, especially at the K-12 level. Inthis study, we evaluate how high school students’ understanding and perceptions ofenvironmental justice shift in response to completing lessons on EJ framed through interactiveStoryMaps. Through these StoryMaps, students were able to engage with real-world multimediatools to understand EJ through the lens of air quality and transportation and evaluate theimplications for their communities and others beyond. This paper builds on prior researchidentifying environmental justice education as a

The need for such participation,the goals and structure of the design project, and the benefits realized by both students andindustry, will be discussed. Findings on how effectively such a collaboration can address ABETEC2000 criteria are presented.The Need to Involve Industry and Practice in DesignA number of researchers use activity theory—that learning happens through immersion in acommunity’s activities—to account for the ways in which

unfortunately, students caneasily lose their understanding of their personal abilities as learners when they feel powerless inthe face of a monolithic factory model of education that appears indifferent to their individualstruggles and successes” [1, p. 15, emphasis in original]. The history of the development of thecurrent factory model of Western engineering education is eloquently explained by Tsai, et al.[1]. This factory-like system is ideologically supported by the metaphorical “pipeline” model ofengineering education, in which students are assumed to enter and exist their educationaljourneys in a uniform manner [2]. However, as Pawley and Hoegh point out, “in a country wherepublic education systems (both K-12 and higher education) still seem

A troubling fact is, after instruction, students often emerge from our classeswith serious misconceptions [2] - [6].A significant body of educational research supports the fact that students must be functionallyactive to learn [7] - [9]. Furthermore, Koballa, Kemp, and Evans [10] note that "ALL studentsmust become scientifically literate if they are to function in tomorrow's society" (p. 27).Scientific literacy is of critical importance for all students at all educational levels.The National Science Education Standards [11] strongly emphasize that inquiry

To empirically examine thisissue we conducted a qualitative study in one engineering competition. We examinedstudents’ experiences of developing professional skills.

Other categories identified in the initial theory development work includedemploying an analytical approach to dissecting problems, bringing a breadth of understanding tothese problem solving efforts, and a willingness to engage in problems beyond their comfortzone.
