We also found motivation from the study of Elton et al.2 who sought to demonstrate“some interesting and mysterious, but explainable experiments” to a K-12 audience. The keymotivator here was the term “explainable,” we really did not want anything to come across asrandom or inexplicable. The overall structure of our research project, and its credence as asenior capstone project focused on research questions that were similar to Moskal et al.3, namely“how are children impacted by an outreach program”?, and “how are the college students andfaculty impacted by the outreach program”?.

As such, thebeliefs that students hold about smartness and how they identify as smart can impact whochooses to pursue engineering, through what pathways they engage, and who persists inengineering degree programs.The overall objective of this study is to understand what, if any, patterns exist in the beliefs aboutsmartness and self-identities of undergraduate engineering students across institutionalizedpathways. Specifically, this three-year qualitative study aims to answer the following researchquestions: 1) What do students believe about smartness and engineering, and 2) how do studentsexpress their self-identities as smart and

In reality, even with extensive prior planning, educators anddisability support officers (DSOs) cannot fully predict the impact of their accessibility measureson the realistic experience of an incoming BLV student to an introductory ECE course. Thisdifference between the educators’, DSOs’, and students’ expectations and experiences gives riseto the aforementioned lived curriculum.

There has been a significant increase inacademies and workshops addressing this concept. Since there is a total turnover of studentseach year, training K-12 teachers has been thought as an efficient approach.

moral legitimacy.Contemporary scholars, Littler [29] and Riley [30, 31], while agreeing with Bourdieu’sdescriptive analysis of meritocracy, take a more prescriptive stance for the future of highereducation. They argue if the field of higher education is to change, then meritocracy must bereimagined. They argue that schools ought to share responsibility with students for studentsuccess and that accessibility efforts should focus on equality of outcome as well as equality ofaccess. Riley [31], writing on engineering higher education, also calls for increased efforts inengineering education directed toward collaboration, community and the social impact ofengineering, moving away from a meritocratic, hegemonic vision of success.Table 1.

Thus, the courseprovided students with both virtual and hands-on experiences to enhance their understanding ofthe subject matter. At the same time, the course promoted the learning of data analysis,modeling, equipment usage, error analysis, teamwork, and communication by engaging thestudents in both the virtual and hands-on labs.
