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

One major success of SI is the peer interaction. Students can receive positivereinforcement by learning from a student who has been able to excel in a historically difficultclass. Additionally, SIs tend to teach the material in a method that reflects a student’s train ofthought, which is more appealing to fellow undergraduate students. SI is also capitalizing on animportant stage of the learning process–repetition. By the SI repeating the material previouslydiscussed in lecture, students often come to understand the material better. As mentionedpreviously, other

, thathelping students to achieve appropriate learning outcomes is a complex process [11]. Gunstonesupported the use of the laboratory as the setting for students to gain knowledge [12]. Hofstein andLunetta suggested that if students were supported with enough time and opportunities forinteraction and reflection, that meaningful learning would happen in the laboratory [11]. However,students are usually engaged in technical activities with few opportunities to interpret and statetheir beliefs about the meaning of their laboratory work [12]. It is, therefore, crucial to provideopportunities that encourage students to ask questions, make design inquiries, and suggesthypotheses. Consequently, it is necessary to provide frequent opportunities for the

Two sub-questions reflect specificaspects of the general question: 1. Do assessments of spatial skill level correlate with one another? If so, are the correlations significant? 2. What specific gender differences exist among first-year engineering students’ spatial skill level?Procedure Data was collected across three consecutive semesters, not including the summer session.The same set of assessments, in the same order, were given to all students during normallyscheduled class time for class credit

There was a wide breadthin the ways teachers implemented their classroom kits. Some teachers mentioned they use theactivity as an introduction to a new concept, while others used them as hands on reinforcement ofa concept they had already taught in a traditional fashion.

Students typically acquire this skill byadolescence for objects they are familiar with [24]. He cautions, however, that if the object is notfamiliar, students may have difficulty in visualizing the object even while in college. Piagetclassified projection skills as the third stage, where students can visualize different measurementsand combine them such as distance, rotation, volume, translation, and reflection [24].Theoretical PerspectiveThis study evaluates the literature through the lens of a social

the answers. Students also appreciated mentors’patience and effort to explain things clearly and comprehensively. To answer students’ researchrelated questions, mentors:1. Asked undergraduates to describe the phenomena and explain what was happening. Graduate mentors then provided ways to think more critically and considerately about the problem. For example, mentors gave students the knowledge to understand the problem and allowed students to think upon and reflect about a problem rather than giving a solution.2. Asked students to investigate answers by searching through primary or secondary data sources. For example, graduate mentors pointed to the people with the expertise or to the literature to guide students to find
