to discuss “which courses they were going to be taking” and“possibly share class notes and were planning to work together on group projects”. Students hadacquired a sense of belonging and were more motivated to continue to be enrolled in engineeringcourses. One key aspect was that students were highly interested in conducting research which inturn they had already contacted some of the faculty members by the beginning of week one ofthe fall quarter. One student stated, “he allowed me to join his research even though I wasn'tofficially settled into school yet”. It appeared that their motivation level had seen an increasefrom when they initially attended the one-week program in comparison to their first week ofbeing enrolled at a four-year

Prior research highlights the role of educators in designing active learningclassrooms [1], promoting a reflective culture [2], [3], and using project-based curriculum [4] tosupport student learning. We ask, what are smaller, more attentive opportunities for students todesign their own active learning experience within classroom settings? We take a provocativeapproach to supporting engineering student learning through visual notetaking.Visual notetaking is a method of representing ideas without always relying solely on words.Notetaking offers a large design space and opens up opportunities for metacognitiveconversations about student learning. Further, visual

Hsu, Purzer, and Cardella [8]conducted a separate study with 192 elementary classroom teachers that suggested a need toimprove teachers’ familiarity with EDP. In this study, Hsu et al. found that, while most teachersmentioned the importance of engineering and technology, they were relatively unfamiliar withthese concepts.

The visits by femalerole models raised awareness about career options and possibilities for female students. At thatage, projecting themselves into a long-term career path may be very difficult for students. It maybe that female students need long term mentoring by female role models [47

What career paths are available? How would an advanced degree help or hurt mycareer? Is an advanced technical degree or a Masters of Business Administration appropriate?The answers depend on the career aspirations as often engineers become project managers in acompany.

This paper describes theinnovative use of a motion simulation-based framework to provide active student participation inauthentic engineering experiences for learning about dynamic systems. The project’s theoreticalunderpinnings are based on situated learning where new educational material is presented in anauthentic context, and social interaction and collaboration are required for learning to occur.Through a learner-centered approach, students use physical simulation and large-scalevisualization to discover the impact that design decisions have on a dynamic system, whilegaining hands-on experience in configuring and operating
