Later, we discuss howstudents are positioned and position themselves influences how students learn, navigateengineering, and develop their identities as engineers. However, in this section, we focus on howagency is useful for assessing how agency enhances engineering learning as an outcome.The studies focusing on student learning were grounded in sociology and varied in methodologicalapproaches [21]–[23]. Drawing on an analytic framework for empowerment, Svihla and colleagues[21] defined agency as the

Laboratoryinstructors today are always looking to upgrade or to replace equipment used to demonstratefundamental principles taught to students throughout their courses. When assessing newequipment, the instructor must be aware of cost, sizing, and performance. Cost is a definiteconsideration as it allows for more money to be allocated elsewhere depending on priorities. Sizingbecomes an issue as a program size program increases. The performance is critical since manystudents expect results to match well. These three areas are the driving force behind the

In addition to qualitative reflections such as those expressed above, the quantitative datain the Summer Session course evaluations also revealed a much stronger perception of thecourse’s value for engineering education and practice. Although Summer Session does notprovide overall scores for the course and the instructor, two individual questions are especiallyrelevant for assessing how students viewed the course’s contribution and value.

Others suggest it sometimes takes a little push to evoke interest and ability toconsider such issues that are not central in the disciplinary discourse of one’s field of studies.Watson et al. [21] suggest that increasing the expected level of incorporation of e.g.sustainability factors to the students’ work might promote students to start thinking aboutsocietal issues in more detail. Attempts to measure and assess the students’ abilities toimplement societal considerations, such as sustainability, into their engineering projects havebeen made [21]. However, students seem to tend to focus on technological solution orientedaspects of sustainability at the expense of a wider range of solutions

girls do not perform well on tests. In 2009, male high schoolgraduates had higher National Assessment of Educational Process (NAEP) mathematics andscience scores than their female counterparts, completing the same curriculum level [1]. Thismight be correlated with the Arizona State University’s finding that “the average male studentthinks he is smarter than 66 percent of the class, while the average female student thinks she issmarter than 54 percent of the class” [2]. Stoeger et al. reported that STEM interest is almostthree times higher for boys than girls. The same study reported that female students think thatSTEM is not appropriate for them due to a perceived disconnect between the “real world” andtheir assignments; therefore, the girls

MotivationPintrich identified two integral factors to motivation: ambition and learning.11 The MSLQ is a self-assessment tool graded on a seven point Likert scale. The students rate the items between “not trueto me” and “very true to me”.11 The five motivational factors examined in this study are cognitivevalue, self-regulation, test/presentation anxiety, intrinsic value, and self-efficacy. Cognitive valuedescribes a student’s ability to recognize the tasks required,11 as well as the necessary sequence oftasks, in order to complete a goal. Self-regulation is the student’s ability to structure oneself tocomplete a goal.11 This differs from cognitive value as self-regulation is the ability to organize allnecessary components to ensure completion of the given

One interesting aspect of the course is the evolution of designs over the years, whenfirst offered, rocket designs typically employed a 3” diameter body tube and have gradually increased to4” and even 5.5” diameters. Also more multi-thruster designs are done as opposed to a single thruster.Generally, two-stage designs are not attempted though are certainly permitted.Generally speaking, the course has been favorably received by students. Their overall assessment is that itprovides a “real world” experience, an actual engineering application of physics and analysis.This

Anecdotal feedback from recent graduates now employed in industry supports that these practices were indeed helpful in their transition.The five key elements identified above are a starting point. As our program matures we areworking to figure out the next “pieces of the puzzle.” Challenges we are currently workingthrough include: (1) Team roles – what are the right team roles to define? How often (if at all)should students rotate through these roles?
