technology infrastructure consistently demanded intensive and collaborativeproblem solving, the scientific research pursuits it enabled were often considered personal in thecontext of day-to-day work. We found that a) while being physically present in the lab withothers was crucial to lab work, lab members largely perceived their work as independent andresearch goals as personal, b) though asking questions was considered a marker of learning, labmembers tried to address technological failures individually before approaching others, and c)staggered work schedules made it difficult to share knowledge about technological failures.These findings suggest a tension between interdependent and independent work practices whichare facilitated by situated

At the Colorado School of Mines, first year students’ design experiences will be heldwithin our new flagship innovation, fabrication, design, & entrepreneurship center (hereaftermakerspace). By creating a welcoming and inclusive space that ties deeply into students’ firstyear, we hope to enhance students’ sense of engineering identity, improve learning outcomesthrough greater access to makerspace tools and community, and to increase retention andrecruitment rates, particularly for traditionally underserved
