) principles. For over a decade, robotics competitions such asFIRST LEGO League (FLL) have provided a venue where students get an opportunity to exploreand interact with advance tools and devices used by engineers and technologists. In fact, onNovember 23, 2009, when President Obama introduced his new initiative, “To Educate andInnovate,” he said, “I believe that robotics can inspire young people to pursue science andengineering.” Unfortunately, the extracurricular nature of robotics contests has not made the use ofrobotics more central to K-12 science and math education. In fall 2010, we surveyed New YorkCity (NYC) FLL coaches and received 43 responses (≈33% response rate). The survey resultsrevealed that ≈50% of respondents do not use robotics

developed their sense of group agency by building the trust among team membersand recognizing each others’ interpersonal and relational strengths. Many teams were able todraw upon prior working relationships that had already established a foundation of trust. Forexample, one engineering educator noted: Within the team itself, I mean, a number of us have worked together in different capacities. I think there's a certain trust among team members, that...we're in this for us to try to have success and we want to work together on it. There is a camaraderie. I mean, I think we like working together for the most part...we have some fun on the project. I think there really are a lot of different skills that people bring. I

Over the course of thelast several decades, there has been much discussion of the need to move engineeringeducation from a teacher-centered model of learning to a student-centered model. I wouldargue that equally as important is a movement towards a paradigm of peace.

of engineers? What would he have said about the currentdiscussion about engineering education?MethodologySince this study is mostly based on historical books and documents, it is important to keep openand alive the historical questions that provoke us in analyzing those texts. Thus, I follow ahermeneutical approach as a methodological tool to “speak” with the texts. Hans-GeorgeGadamer states that it is possible to understand a text as an answer to a question; “Thusinterpretation always involves a relation to the question that is asked of the interpreter. Tounderstand a text means to understand this question.”13 To ask this question of the texts is toopen the possibility of new answers in which the interpreter participates from his or her

We found that those who came from an educationbackground (such as cognitive science, psychology, sociology or linguistics) tended to beimmersed in the engineering community and learn about Engineering Culture (i.e., theengineering way of thinking and doing): “I had worked in two other contexts in which I had interactions with engineers. That helped me understand how they were coming to communication.” “I discovered that engineers really have the attitude of get’er done …”On the other had we saw that those with engineering background were interested and drawn togain Education Knowledge, such as “new
