However, the camp did not change their attitude towardspursuing a career in science and engineering. Our results suggest that short coding camps mightpotentially increase awareness or coding jobs but may not generate long-term interest in pursuingscience and engineering careers. Thus, our recommendation is

The self evaluationforms included categories such as mechanical aptitude, electrical aptitude, computer aptitude,writing, teamwork, leadership and design aptitude. Generally student teams were designed to bal-ance interests and abilities. However, in a few cases

In other cases, it was common for an engineering student tohave taken apart or rebuilt a car during high school. The educational process inengineering laboratories was a natural extension of these backgrounds. Students oftencame into the laboratory with more advanced skills in working with their hands - a keyexperience for building visualization skills. Life on a farm or taking apart of an old caroften provided experiences that lent relevance to engineering laboratory topics.

being little empirical support for the “show them and they will adopt”model of reform and a lack of a more effective model in general, there is a near dearth ofunderstanding of secondary implementations. Research-based instructional strategies are oftendeveloped in one setting by a few individuals and then disseminated for incorporation in manydifferent settings. The uniqueness of students, instructors and structures at each location makesecondary implementations non-trivial. Secondary implementations typically lack many of the components that contributed tosuccess at the development site such as grant funding, faculty release time, a project team andavailability of education research experts.

exam.BACKGROUNDIncoming students in Mechanical, Civil and General Engineering typically enroll in one of twointroductory graphics courses independent of their graphics preparation. These courses cover themajority of traditional engineering graphics topics and introductory descriptive geometry. Thetopics are taught using a mixture of sketching and instrument drawing techniques. Approximately25% of incoming students in these engineering majors have no preparation in graphicalcommunication while the balance have had some previous experience in art and/or draftingclasses at the secondary or post-secondary level.We have observed over several years that students with two or more years of prior draftingexperience view the introductory graphics courses as remedial and
