This strategy provides hands-on learningexperiences with digital fabrication tools, such as 3D printers, laser cutters, computernumerically controlled (CNC) machines, and digital electronics in informal learningenvironments.

mathematical competencies of the students, many instructors have noted howdifficult it can be to teach new concepts, and at times, to “un-teach” misconceptions that studentshave already formed on some of the fundamental topics [1]. Examples of mechanics experimentshave been reported to help with students understanding, motivation, and concept retention [2],[3], [4], and [5].An experimental platform to study the bending behavior of beams has been under developmentfor several years by the authors [6], [7], and [8]. Originally, a portable, beam-bending apparatuswas designed and fabricated that (a) could fix a variety of metallic and nonmetallic beamspecimens in a cantilever fashion, (b) could apply point loading and monitor beam tipdisplacement and

The major aim of this program is to provide undergraduate studentswith experiences in engineering education research (i.e., education research in the context ofengineering). This paper provides an overview of the program, and briefly describes the virtualworking environment, and students’ research experiences during the 10-week program.A total of 11 undergraduate students, seven graduate mentors, and seven faculty mentors haveactively participated in the program. The program is conducted in two phases: Phases 1 (i.e.,Weeks 1-2) and 2 (i.e., Weeks 3-10). Phase 1 consists of preparatory and foundational work thatis delivered to participants and will allow

Non-Cognitive and Affective (NCA) FactorsAbstractPrevious studies have shown that many non-cognitive and affective (NCA) factors (e.g.Engineering Identify, Belongingness, Mindset, etc.) are related to student academic success. TheNSF-funded Studying Underlying Characteristics of Computing and Engineering StudentSuccess (SUCCESS) project is exploring the role that NCA factors play in retention and broaddefinitions of success for undergraduate engineering and computing students. This paper presentswork completed through year five of the collaborative SUCCESS project. To date we have: 1)Generated NCA profiles of engineering and computing students by deploying the SUCCESSsurvey to a national cohort of engineering and

reasons forthis. First, the lightweight nature of the program (~1-2 hours a week for 4 weeks) lowered entrybarriers for busy students. Second, the scalable and student-driven nature of the programcircumvented the obstacles of limited faculty time or staff resources common to many programs.Third, the relational nature of the program facilitated knowledge sharing and relational networksthat helped to overcome the many systemic misalignments at the root of faculty-perceivedbarriers to undergraduate research, findings that came out of a series of interviews we conductedwith STEM faculty on barriers to undergraduate research.We conclude by proposing that the design of lightweight, scalable, and relational learningexperiences may be an effective

increasing across campuses as more students take on jobs to supporttheir education and as those in the workforce return to complete their education. It is imperativethat higher educational systems understand how to serve the needs of these students better.Although there are a range of ways in which nontraditional students (NTS) are defined, theNCES has proposed a comprehensive definition that includes enrollment criteria, financial andfamily status, and high school graduation status. Overall, the seven characteristics specificallyassociated with NTS are: (1) Delayed enrollment by a year or more after high school, (2)attended part-time, (3) having dependents, (4) being a single parent, (5) working full-time whileenrolled, (6) being financially

Such contexts provide opportunitiesfor students to develop professional skills as well as to develop rich understandings of technicalcontent [2]. In such spaces, teams of novice engineers work to negotiate design decisions in theface of uncertainty. Ideally, student teams would evidence a fairly even distribution of talk andideas [3], but the literature is rife with reports of inequitable contributions in student groups,often with inequitable patterns related to gender and race/ethnicity [4-16].Because students lack significant engineering judgment and technical expertise, other factors thataffect their evaluation

constitutethe conventions that engineers use to communicate the knowledgebase that stem directly fromthe physical phenomena they work to manipulate. Consequently, engineering education centersaround a pedagogy that focuses first on the formalisms that abstract real phenomena. Rather thanbuilding on an understanding of the phenomena from their direct, primary experiences,engineering students often are reasoning in terms of formal redescriptions of these phenomena[1]. This formalisms first approach [2], we contest, exposes students to ideas in terms of theirformalisms before students even get opportunities to ground [3] their intuitions in theexperiences that underlie conceptual understandings [4-6].Theoretical Framework:Analyses of secondary-level math
