implement asset-based approaches such as asset mapping.Keywords: Asset based practices; community cultural wealth; engineering designIntroductionThe design process is the foundation of the engineering profession and a cornerstone ofundergraduate engineering curricula. The design process draws on students’ strengths and skillssuch as communication, tinkering, modeling, and brainstorming, informed by their uniqueexperiences and expertise. However, social dynamics may result in women, gender minorities,and racial and ethnic minorities being relegated to clerical or social roles on teams [1]–[3],preventing full participation and benefit from technical design, experimentation, and fabricationactivities. This may result in less engagement in hands-on

In general the response was positive with students’recognition of the value of in-class demonstrations to help them visualize concepts and withstudents advocating further use of ELVIS in other Engineering courses.Motivation One reason that students have a difficult time understanding the functional aspects ofelectrical circuits is that they are difficult to visualize: you can't see electrons, but you can seewhat they do in real devices. Grasping concepts like electrical circuits or even basic electricity isnot an easy task for many students 1. Engineering students’ difficulties are often compounded bytraditional instructional methods that fail to engage their thinking 2. Instruction that goes beyondthe

The course includes one 1-hourlecture, and two 2-hour labs/week. In the lecture, students develop the skills needed during theirstudy of engineering. Topics include task/time management, effective use of notes, engineeringresearch, oral and written communications, problem-solving techniques, ethics and professionalresponsibility and institute resources. In the laboratory, students work in teams to complete avariety of engineering tasks.Each class is set to 85 students maximum. The lecture is held at a

Participants in the course explored engineering design,engineering practices, NGSS and the application of these to the K-12 classroom. This paperhighlights preliminary results on teachers and their K-12 students through teacher reflections,student work, and class observations focused on the following questions: What key ideas fromthe engineering education capstone course (engineering design, engineering practices, etc.) areused in a teacher created unit for the K-12 classrooms?

A teaching assistant can perform the review and it has been found to be beneficial to record these or at least have the teaching assistant provide a set of ‘narrated PowerPoint Slides’ so that the slides can be collected in a data bank and used for future classes. Students engage and are very responsive to hearing these reviews from other students. 2) Videos: At first, a couple of videos were used from ‘Muddiest Points’ collection on ‘YouTube’, but it was found that the explanations lose impact if they are too long.
