distinct from sex. Connellnotes that gender is not a supposedly biologically-obvious division between men and women, butinstead the way human society collectively makes relevant these reproductive distinctions Page 26.1007.5between human bodies in a social context. For us, the context is engineering education. In its  simplest form, gender reflects the set of characteristics, behaviors, and practices that we think ofas “feminine” or “masculine” – characteristics that any individual biological male or female mayor may not embody.Race, like gender, is not a biological category but a social one. And unlike sex, race has nobiological basis, despite a

 Member searches of professional society databases (e.g. the ASEE Member Database is institution-searchable)  Ask departments that commonly participate in DBER to see if there are faculty or student contacts with education-based research interests (e.g. physics, chemistry, math, engineering; departmental secretaries are helpful!)Discipline-based educational research communities of practice will look different at everyinstitution. The boundaries of the domain of interest may change, the community itself will havea different dynamic, and the community’s practices will reflect the differences the membersbring to the organization. The recommendations and experiences presented in this paper focus onwhat has worked

approach reflects a foundationalmisalignment in educational philosophies resulting in what might provocatively be characterizedas “bait-and-switch.” The bait-and-switch characterization reflects a mismatch between theengagement logics embedded in most K-12 engineering education and the exclusionary logicsunderlying most university engineering education. While we acknowledge from the start thatuniversity engineering programs are increasingly emphasizing student engagement, the rapidexpansion of K-12 engineering programs has outpaced reforms in higher education aroundengagement, thereby magnifying the problems associated with engineering bait-and-switchexplored in this paper.In popular vernacular, bait-and-switch is often associated with fraud or

team throughout the summerprogram. After completion of the summer program, the TexPREP students traveled to take partin a regional science symposium and presented two of their CBI Challenge projects, the Stirlingengine and the Solar Car. The students were very excited to share their projects with over 100other 4th year TexPREP students from around the state.The undergraduate curriculum development team was encouraged that the CBI curriculum thatthey developed was beneficial to fourth year students who used the materials that summer andhopeful that students at all TexPREP sites who benefit from the curriculum in years to come.The team members were asked to reflect on their experience and how they were impactedpersonally.
