critical reflection of the learner on the experience. Unlessembedded within a course as a service-learning activity (e.g. [13]), there may not be structuredreflection. This is particularly true in co-curricular activities, where advisors may worry thatformal reflection would deter college students from participating. However, the reflection couldoccur informally via a group discussion.Giles and Eyler [11] cite Dewey’s [12] four criteria for projects to be truly educative. The fourcriteria are: generate interest, worthwhile intrinsically, problems that demand new information,and cover a considerable time span. K-12 activities are often designed to be fun, so they arelikely to generate interest on behalf of both the college student and K-12 kids

The post-test additionally askedstudents to reflect on their experiences in the course and if they would be willing to do afollow-up interview. Table 2: EPRA Realms and Dimensions Realm

While student facilitators were not initially included in the NSFITEST proposal, their engagement in the classroom provides extra hands to support the activitieswhile serving as an engineering role model to the 6th grade students and teachers. All of thestudents volunteering for the program are pursuing degrees in engineering or science- andtechnology-related fields.

this work, in the earlyeighties, Jackson [2] in his book, “Towards a Systems of Systems Methodologies,” divides the typesof complex social systems into six different categories and reflects on the engineering tools that canbe used in each.This article presents a developing methodology that through the application of pluralistic multi-methods from critical systemic thinking, seeks to reduce the complexity of Social Complex Systems(SCS) from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives. This new methodology can help decisionmakers to identify what knowledge or information should be considered when implementing anintervention, then they can decide who should participate and how this participation should takeplace.

in Fig 1), ECD projectshave been motivated by faculty and students desire to help, personal and career goals, desires tostudy and work abroad, and desires to solve problems and to gain hands on experience onimpactful work [1][2]. Since then, some scholars have called our attention to how the focus ofwell-intentioned ECD projects on technological fixes and deliverables tend to leave out criticalreflections of engineers’ motivations to be in these projects, and of the processes required tobuild trust and determine communities’ priorities and desires [3][4]. Unfortunately, these calls tocritical reflection in the ECD space are often overshadowed by the continued emergence ofmilestones and challenges (e.g., UN Sustainable Development Goals, NAE

-making difficulties as foundational support (1996). In regards to theassessment tool itself, some items on the CDS have multiple descriptors and statements within asingle item, which can affect their relatability and the accuracy of students’ responses. Forexample, Item 7 states, “Until now, I haven’t given much thought to choosing a career. I feel lostwhen I think about it because I haven’t had many experiences in making decisions on my ownand I don’t have enough information to make a career decision right now”. Students maystrongly agree with the first part but disagree with the statement in its entirety, which wouldmake it difficult to gauge how closely the statement reflects his or her feelings.

The list of topics covered wasaltered to reflect those topics most directly relevant to the evaporator. Most notably, transientconduction, analogous mass transfer, and computational methods were dropped, and boiling wasadded. Other topics were expanded (convection) or de-emphasized compared to the 2015 course.Initially, it was anticipated that the format of the course would move away from lecture and moretowards directed analysis of the evaporator. However the course ended up enrolling a singlestudent*, who expressed a strong preference for lecture-style class meetings. Out of respect forthis preference

In the end, we aim to gain a better understanding about whether the branch of theengineering profession called LTS cultivates imaginaries that echo LTS’s articulated values ofequity, justice, empowerment, and transformation and bring engineers closer to the publics theyaim to serve. Ultimately, we are interested in determining whether LTS aligns itself more closelywith diverse publics’ articulations of their own visions, definitions of their own needs, andvisions
