Criticalthinking does not have a single agreed operational definition in engineering education. One usefuldefinition described by Ahern et al (2019) quoting Facione (1990) is: “[critical thinking] is a ‘purposeful,self-regulatory judgment which results in interpretation, analysis
graduation, and beyondgraduation. As Figure 7 shows, in Fall 2019, there was a slight increase in short-term clarityamong students in the course (next year, next two years), but a slight decrease in long-termclarity (through graduation, beyond graduation). Students enrolled in the course reported onaverage larger gains in clarity over their plans for the next year, pulling about “even” withstudents not enrolled in the course by the end of the semester. At the end of the semester, onaverage, students not enrolled in the course report more clarity for each time period. Thisdifference may be due to self-selection of students into ENGR 110, wherein students with lesscertainty over their future may be more likely to enroll in the course. This difference

The teachers, in this way, move between the “teacher” and“student” roles to get a broad perspective.It is not unusual for children from economically disadvantaged homes to enter kindergarten withfewer experiences and early childhood education than their more affluent peers (Reardon).Because of this, the team decided to not use the EiE kits in grades K-1, but rather to focus theestablishment of foundational skills the children would use throughout their elementary years atRachel Freeman, enabling them to participate in the engineering implementation fully as theymoved up

a professional and an engineer.6 ConclusionsIn the work presented in this paper, insight is presented into how learning online supportsstudents’ experiences in makerspaces. Key themes identified through analysis of ethnographicinterviews are presented as well as our initial model illustrating how students use online learningto supplement in-person learning and making in makerspaces. In essence, for our engineeringstudents, makerspaces facilitate a hybrid learning environment. We believe that this onlinelearning model shows promise for transferability beyond making as well. In other words,whether it’s looking for a recipe for dinner tonight or learning how to weld a bike—we suspectthat the process may follow the model created (Figure 1
