The teacher workshop focuses on science,technology and mathematics educators engaged in a 5-6 hour program. This hands-onpresentation is connected to the science and technology standards and features teachersworking in small groups. One example of a workshop focus is to have teachers examine,sketch, and construct common household mechanisms. The student workshop providesstudents the opportunity to work with engineers to investigate how common householdmechanisms function and to construct

In thispaper, we describe a cross-disciplinary project where 3D printing and specifically, theconceptualization and prototyping of a temperature-controlled enclosure for a 3D printer, serve asan enabling platform to catalyze learning of the essentials of team-based, interdisciplinaryengineering research and development. The goals of the project are: (i) to investigate the influenceof a controlled temperature environment on the print quality of 3D printed parts, and to optimizethe print quality accordingly; (ii) to allow beginning engineering students with little priorengineering training and 3D printing knowledge to complete a product development cycle ofproblem definition, literature research, design concept

Once thestudent is introduced to the course, they routinely interact with course content (step 2) thatresides in a learning management system such as Blackboard16 or even a MOOC platform (in thecontext of AerosPACE we use edX17 as a content platform). Since the course contains asignificant number of complex design components, students on a regular basis use synchronousand asynchronous communications to interact with each other (step 3).

A questionnaire was disseminated to a group of twenty-two students who took acommunication system class in winter 2013. Students were unanimously positive (100%) aboutthe lab experience and felt that the lab was fun and engaging. All students indicated that theyenjoyed the hands-on activities of constructing and testing dipole antennas, taking measurements,and analyzing the lab results. The measurement system is convenient to use and requires minimaltraining or troubleshooting. The impact of having a real hands-on lab on their understanding ofantenna-related concepts is far profound than that from lecturing

Identity, particularlyengineering identity, has been shown to impact motivation, persistence, and students’perception of themselves as engineers [2], [3]. First-year experiences often mark criticalmoments of identity formation. Lakin found that students’ definitions of engineering -whether focused on altruism or technical rigor - were linked to whether they sawthemselves as “already doing engineering,” a belief strongly tied to professional identitydevelopment [2].Allie describes engineering learning as acquiring a discursive identity throughcommunity participation.

In the exam culture, thequestions for learning assessment are approached by standardized methods or forms, which arethe same for all students. In contrast, competence assessment focuses more on holisticallydescribing the students' performances. The competence assessment of student learning has amuch broader and global impact on engineering competence than just testing students andmarking examinations or papers of students [7].Under international accreditation agreements, engineering programs in many countries are nowrequired to help students develop specific program outcomes [8] or competencies for assessmentand accreditation.

IntroductionEducators and researchers investigating student learning in higher education often resort tostrategies for assessing and evaluating student learning that are limited in their validity, scope,and utility for providing feedback to students, educators, and researchers alike (Lattuca, 2023;Rosen et al., 2017). For example, in computing education, student self-reports of their perceivedlearning, as well as reports generated by autograders, are two dominant approaches to providinginsight to instructors and researchers on student learning (Haldeman et al., 2018). Recently,researchers have challenged such strategies as being limited in their validity, scope, and utilityfor understanding student learning. For example, existing research suggests self-reports

nearlyall) students are engaged in doing something applied with course content. It is generallysuggested that calling on individuals or small groups to share out following the activity is betterthan asking for volunteers to keep students motivated and task-focused [2].Learning sciences research suggests key reasons active learning is a more effective approachthan lecture alone, in part explained by cognitive load theory, which recognizes the limits ofworking memory and the means by which information is stored in long term memory [6].Essentially, because of constraints on working memory capacity, learners cannot process or payattention to large amounts of information without actively doing something with that information[6]. Additionally, retrieval
