What are the similarities between laboratories and theaters as educational spaces? How might the educational experience in laboratories be enhanced by exploiting the parallels between labs and theaters? Figure 1.

of both the engineering-relatedexperiences and the soft-skill sessions provided during their summer REU program. To this end,the survey included a number of questions designed to capture student perspectives on theseexperiences. The objective was to compare students’ perceptions of both kinds of educationalexperiences. The authors felt such a comparison could provide insights on how to revise theoverall pilot approach to REU education to provide students with more effective educationalexperiences.The specific questions used to collect such data were as follows: 1. In which year did you participate in the NeuroNEM REU program? a. Summer 2017 b. Summer 2018 2. Please rate your perceived benefit of each of the NeuroNEM REU

Chinese faculty will be able to teach courses that will accommodatemost American students who are more comfortable with active learning.Interestingly, within the Chinese culture, students, parents, educators, and policymakers are allchallenged by the dominant image of Chinese education that is focused on “rote learning,memorization, examination, constant testing, large classes, competitive motivation, examination,authoritarian and didactic teaching and learning methods, passivity, and compliance” [19, p. 6].Unfortunately, the positive aspects of Confucian learning (e.g., focusing on deeper-level, self-reflective learning) mainly conceptualized by Western scholars such as David A.

action research brings together multiple disciplines and stakeholders whocollaboratively aim to simultaneously investigate and ameliorate real-world problems, to act incommunity and institutional settings, and actively monitor whether that action is achievingdesired goals, is sustainable, and is not producing new problems. Pohl and Hadron [16] definetransdisciplinary research as research that “deals with problem fields … in such a way that it can:(a) grasp the complexity... of problems, (b) take into account the diversity … of life-world …and scientific perceptions of problems, (c) link abstract and case-specific knowledge, and (d)develop knowledge and practices that promote what is perceived to be the common good” [pp.431-32].

First, the survey will need to be combined with theother data sources to fully answer our overall project’s research questions (Appendix B), andthese additional sources are outside of the scope of this paper. Second, more data is needed tocompare pre- and post-integration results to measure any changes in sociotechnical thinking thatmay result from sociotechnical integration. Also, further analysis is needed to better characterizesimilarities and differences across institutions and other factors beyond course year.Future work will focus on addressing these limitations. In addition, we are also interested inthese questions, among others: Can we articulate a more explicit conceptualization of “habits of mind” and the means to
