Prior research also suggested thatstudents who were in the advanced stage of epistemological development tended to alsodemonstrate active engagement in self-regulated learning [24]. In our analysis of theinterview transcripts, Boki, who seemed to have demonstrated an advanced manner ofepistemological thinking in the senior design experiences, described the experiences oflearning by himself during the SDP, Because it belonged to mathematics, not engineering.

Experienced engineers working with new productsmay be working with unfamiliar users, while early career engineers are learning that end usersare important to anticipate during the design, testing and implementation process.Studies of engineering work, workplace learning and science and technology studies havehistorically observed these design and work practices in order to better understand therelationships between technologies and users. This focus has generated a diverse number ofconcepts that describe users and the “user-technology nexus” (Oudshoorn & Pinch 2003:2).

Greater understanding andsatisfaction comes of a learning style called active learning, which is necessary for the student totruly learn the material16. This learning style engages the minds of the students and allows themto not just passively regurgitate what they have heard in some bygone lecture but to activelythink about what they are doing using any number of different techniques17.The active learning methods used in design engineering courses such as IDE 20, IDE 105, andIDE 401 adhere to these requirements by letting the student dissect safe, common products andtoys during the reverse

Giventhat there is limited prior research in this area, we use a design-based approach to investigatethese research questions: 1) What are children’s goal orientations while participating in engineering design activities? How are the goal orientations that manifest in engineering design activities related to children’s engagement? Is there a difference between minoritized and non-minoritized children’s goal orientations? 2) What are the potential factors that may be related to children’s goal orientations in informal engineering

Arts based research often fits under the umbrella of qualitative research methods used ineducational and social science research and proposes that diverse methods of representation(including both discursive and form based) are of value in raising questions, promptingconversations, capturing meaning, communicating to broad audiences, and ultimatelycontributing to a richer human understanding of complex experiences (Barone & Eisner, 2012).Some arts based research approaches used in our course include reading fiction, development ofaesthetic skills, experiential learning, hands on making, and creative reflection.

Ethics is too-often relegated to a stand-alone course taken late in engineeringprograms, rather than effectively integrated into core coursework [1, 2]. Faculty sometimes haveconcerns that such integration will be challenging for students to manage or might distract themfrom core content. However, ethics-across-the-curriculum helps students understand the linkbetween the engineering work and its positive and negative impacts and also see ethicalconsiderations as part of engineering, rather than an add-on [2, 3].
