study is certainly generalizable to studies of identity in engineering andmathematics and science education. The authors propose social entrepreneurship identity can befacilitated by educators through defining the social category group in which the individual willidentify, exposure to prototypical members and member characteristics, and active engagementin the social category particularly through group projects. Similarly, Mead formulated that“society shapes self shapes social behavior.”13 These social behaviors were later taken up byStryker and redefined as role choice behavior.16; 17 While Stryker explores external structures,Burke explored internal mechanisms aligned with more modern cognitive theories of identitydevelopment, namely the
the interpreter project that was part of the course. After the completionof this activity, in each course, students were asked to complete a survey about their experiences inusing the tool. In Section 4, we present an analysis of the survey results which suggest a very posi-tive effect of the approach on students’ learning, and highlights the importance of various featuresof our approach. We conclude in Section 5 with a brief summary and plans for future work.2 BackgroundOur approach builds on two key notions that have been used successfully in various branches oflearning sciences over the past few decades: Cognitive Conflict Driven Learning and Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning.2.1 Cognitive Conflict Driven LearningPiaget’s

these things relate to the course goals?With the answers to these questions in mind, the TA and instructor can think about the purposeof other class assignments (pre-class and post-class homework/projects) that will preparestudents with these skills. Questions to consider while creating these assignments, as discussedin the “Active Learning in STEM Courses” mini-course, are as follows: 1. What kind of questions are being asked in these different categories (pre-, in-, and post- class)? Page 26.755.8 2. How do these questions compare across categories and to the exam questions?

. First, the project focuses on faculty community, rather thanexternal communities such as companies or local residential communities. The definition ofcommunity we adopted is not just in a physical location, but in an organizational location, in “thecooperation in labor, order and management,” (Tönnies, 2000, p. 43). This is important in ourconsideration of community of engagement, as we go beyond physical boundaries, such as thosebetween university and its wider locale, to cognitive boundaries, such as those within and amonguniversity colleges and departments. It is with this in mind that we define engagement andengaged communities. Second, it expands the definitions and model of community engagementby highlighting how engineering faculty
appears to have been disadvantaged both in class time and location. Sections A, B andC were taught on MWF, back-to-back, in the same pilot classroom that has whiteboard paint onall four walls, desks on rollers and seven projector screens that project directly onto the writeablewalls easily allowing student groups to report answers on projected problems. Each section was65 minutes long with section A starting first at 9:15 am. Section E was also taught MWF in thesame pilot classroom during the winter quarter. The T/Th section D had the earliest start time at8:30 am and required students to engage for 100 minutes. The class was taught in a traditionalclassroom where the projector screen covered close to half of the room’s two chalkboards. Thedesks

Powerfullearning experiences exist when students have an opportunity to learn by application, while alsohaving fun by creating excitement around the subject material. Indeed, that is why most curriculainclude other experiences beyond the classroom such as laboratories, field trips, seminars, designprojects and modeling projects [1, 2].
