The NGSS positioned K-12 engineering instruction within science disciplines at all levelsfollowing a rationale that “because engineering requires the application of mathematics andscience through the development of technologies, it can provide a way to integrate the STEMdisciplines meaningfully” 6 (p.2).

As one of the objectives ofthe project is to give students exposure to real-world design issues, we feel these bumps-in-the-road are an essential learning tool -- they are part and parcel of any project lifecycle when circuits are not pre-chosen or pre-tested, and they require nimble reactionsand creative thinking on the part of the team to constructively deal with them.

Similarly, at a lab meeting Rick presented his idea for a new purpose for thelab’s sensor systems: monitoring environmental factors that affect public health. His ability tounderstand the lab’s systems and situate them in new uses is impressive, reflectingundergraduates’ strong connection to fields outside the lab’s and perhaps also to the “real world”of users because they have not yet become specialized researchers.

Almost all articles synthesizedby Hess and Fore focused on the first and second categories, but only 7 of the 26 articles soughtto achieve learning goals associated with the third category.We would like to draw a parallel with Orr [9] who argued, “All education is environmentaleducation,” meaning that, “By what is included or excluded, students are taught that they are partof or apart from the natural world” (p. 12). Likewise, we argue that all engineering education isethics education. Students learn where ethics lives in engineering practice based on where (andhow) ethics is explicitly included (or excluded) from the curriculum. Hence

Service-learning engages students in interacting with the world and thus helps them build new cognitive structures in accord with Piaget’s general view of intellectual development. It involves students in collaborative work with teachers, peers and community members and thus engages them in the dialogic social interaction identified by Vygotsky as crucial to intellectual maturation.” (p. 7)Thus, the service-learning pedagogy not only highlights the agentic nature of learning but alsointimately integrates students’ sociocultural context by situating the learning experience withinthe community by its very nature.

Each of the sub-categories was not a different specific topic of the same concept, but rather entirely differentconcepts only related by their support of the ability to design.
