Engineering Education, 2019 Students’ Experience with Collaborative Engineering Design Challenges in a Middle School Engineering Course (Evaluation)IntroductionThe recent emergence of engineering as a curricular priority in K-12 schools has spurred thedevelopment and implementation of new approaches for engaging students of all ages in theengineering design process [1]. With this increased prominence of engineering as a K-12discipline, education researchers have begun to explore the outcomes of engineering educationin the context of K-12 schools. One review of P-12 engineering students from 2000 - 2015documented an increase in engineering education research during this period, highlighting anumber of themes within the literature

intended outcomes of engineering education reforms. Inaddition, although the engineering entrepreneurship community (e.g. ASEE and KEEN)has provided a platform for researchers to interact and collaborate on improving variousassessment-related areas, a lack of communication of desired learning outcomes and theirconceptions can lead to further promulgation of terminologies such as EM in the 6community without any concrete description of what they entail in the broader realm ofengineering entrepreneurship education.Table 2: Summary of articles Reference Entrepreneurial Defining Guiding Sources Mindset – skills or

Real-life problems are complex, uncertain, instable, unique andparticular, and value-conflicting, and thus a collaboration among people of different perspectivesand expertise is necessary, if not compulsory.Conclusion One of the recommendations that the NAE (2005) made in their 2020 Project was:“Engineering education must be realigned to promote attainment of the characteristics desired inpracticing engineers, and this must be done in the context of an increased emphasis on theresearch base underlying conduct of engineering practice and engineering education. This willrequire that action be taken by key stakeholders, particularly engineering faculty and theengineering professional societies” (NAE, 2005, p. 17

The complexityof engineering problems has required engineers to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.Therefore, multidisciplinary capstone design has been becoming a regular practice in engineeringschools. However, collaborative design among multiple disciplines for non-capstone courses hasbeen neglected. In spring 2018, students enrolled in Measurements and
research thus places more emphasis on thepsychological development of students, that is, the efficiency of individual students in retainingscientific concepts.Social constructivism as an educational philosophy often calls for student-centered, collaborative(e.g., team-based), active learning which allows students to construct their own knowledge.Social constructivism has become a dominant paradigm in American engineering education. Italmost seems to be unnecessary (if not a “taboo”) in the community of engineering education toquestion the effectiveness of active learning. Research that compares active learning with more“traditional” ways of teaching such as lecturing seems to be unnecessary. Nevertheless,institutional resources at American
