eighteenundergraduate students that hail from different disciplines, we are currently in the beginningstages of implementing a fully-functional maker space in the primary library for undergraduates.Our planning was and is strongly informed by the Stanford d.school method of design thinkingconsisting of five fundamental steps of: empathizing, defining, ideation, prototyping, and testing.Using this method as a framework, we will describe our experiences with the development,design, and implementation of a student-led makerspace. Given that it is rare for students on ourcampus to take on a task as seemingly large as developing a makerspace, we feel it is necessaryto highlight the resources and infrastructure needed in terms of people, facilities, and funding

The purpose of this project is to ease this transitionthrough the development of a formal orientation for an Engineering Education department; theADDIE model for training design was used. The first step was a thorough analysis of thedepartment, student requirements, tasks, personnel, and knowledge, skills & attitudes (KSA)required by a doctorate student in engineering education. Then, we developed learning objectivesand a plan of instruction that would optimize the learning, retention, and transfer of theinformation introduced during the orientation. Next, we developed the physical elements of theorientation program, which was

The difference is that novices tend to use more representationsand switch between them more often. Experts tend to use fewer representations and solve theproblem in a more straightforward way. This work will focus on the first representations used byexperts and novices.Previous work has been done in starting design problems.

Planning involves actions taken to help the learnerplan out their learning and cognitive tasks. Planning encompasses everything from gatheringappropriate resources to creating a time schedule for learning to the selection of a specificenvironment used for learning. Monitoring involves all actions that are used to determine if thecognitive task engaged in is on track to meet the intended goal. Monitoring can involve (but isnot limited to) checking progress on a particular task, checking understanding on a particularconcept, and checking that the procedure currently being used will reach the intended outcome.When a monitoring

,thereby decreasing or even removing their attention to your lecture. This is especiallyproblematic in large lectures since students are able to “hide”. This type of student behavior wasconsistently observed during multiple courses with multiple instructors. One way to combat thisissue is to save announcements for the end of lecture, but this requires strong time managementskills and lesson planning. Another way to combat this issue is to make general announcementsand then immediately follow the announcements with an active learning activity to reengage thestudents.To illustrate the problem and solution, we present the case of an instructor who asked students tosubmit a survey during the middle of class.

She wanted the students to develop a business plan for starting a makerspaceon the university campus. This makerspace would provide students with access to prototypingequipment, such as 3D printers, at little to no cost.As I started planning the makerspace student project, I soon realized that a cross-disciplinaryteam with training in business, marketing, and engineering would be necessary to effectivelyaddress the overall goal of the project.
