as well. The wide range of students who have taken the course has necessitated the coursebreadth. Students have enrolled in the course from nearly every area of engineering (electrical,mechanical, chemical, biomedical, computer, and materials) as well as chemistry and physics,and each student therefore has unique expectations of the course. Over the past three years,average enrollment in the course has been about 40 students with about half coming fromelectrical engineering, one-third from mechanical engineering, and the remainder from the otherengineering disciplines (see Table 1). The primary limitation on enrollment has been laboratoryspace. Since microfabrication is time intensive, serial in nature, and more conducive toindividual

In“Learning to Navigate,” Hutchins describes the process of directing a naval vessel to port.7Recording conversations among the sailors and observing ship logs and other tools, he found thatpeople learned from through their interaction with one another and with the tools that were partof their everyday work environment.The concept of distributed cognition is central to the third hypothesis cited in the originalproposal for the RCS.

Women in engineering education havereported experiencing heightened levels of overwhelm due to the pace and workload of theengineering curriculum, reduced comfort in asking questions in class, lower confidence in theirabilities, and a diminished sense of belonging (Metz et al., 1999). The lack of diversityconcerning gender and race/ethnicity in engineering education influences the development ofbroader society. As such, we must make sense of the experiences of Latine engineering facultywho have persisted through the engineering pathway

More specifically, theApplication scores (1 and 2) capture when students apply the design process as presented withintheir design curriculum. The higher Abstraction scores (3 and 4) are synonymous with the“Creating” construct in Bloom’s taxonomy 24. These scores describe when students abstract theelements of the design process to develop a more innovative solution. This abstraction allowsstudents to form a new design process from the elements of the design
