This paper focuses on one of the activitytypes noted above, specifically the 2nd of these – UAS Summer Camps.Foundational research was accomplished regarding what relevant materials were available. Materialsfrom the initial NMSU STEM outreach efforts were highly leveraged in the planning stages. Theseexisting materials were adapted as appropriate for each region and new materials developed.

).Analytical ApproachOur initial research questions were centered around peer educators’ resources for teaching andhow they attend to their students’ emotions. The research team members were interested in arange of research questions pertaining to the relationships between emotion, engineering design,engineering classroom culture, and teaching goals of undergraduate peer educators. The team ispersonally committed to identifying opportunities for engineering learning spaces to valuestudent emotion. These interests and values guided what we observed in our data and what wechose to pursue for exploratory analysis.We recruited UTFs enrolled in the pedagogy seminar to participate in this study.

Jonassen (1997) provides a foundational basis for defining a problem's nature using theattributes of structuredness, domain specificity, and complexity[1]. Recent research indicates thatill-structured or messy problems require different meta-cognitive processes and problem solvingskills, when compared to well-structured problems. Houdeshell (2004) found that using ill-structured transfer activities produced significantly higher student learning than with well-structured transfer problems using an instructional design that supports a scaffoldingenvironment[2]. Clearly then the use of ill-structured problems is desirable when combined withinan appropriate instructional design. However, no

Second,when preparation of teachers occurs through in-service, pre-service, or professional developmentprograms, the instrument allows researchers to examine how teachers initiate their own beliefs,attitudes, and behavior patterns in the beginning of the programs and shape them throughout theprograms.
