This work introduced the idea of “identity accomplishment confusion,” Work in Progress: Seeking Wa:k Community Perceptions in Engineering 4where culture compromises the learning of fundamental skills. Although this report providesexamples of how teaching methods (e.g., peer learning) have had positive results in teachingfundamental mathematics among Native American students, it concedes that culturally infusedmethods have not been evaluated. This study also acknowledges Native Americans cannot andshould not be homogenized due to various environments, and

Both the TA and the instructor for this coursereinstated during the interview that having students work in groups would create moreopportunities for interaction between students, and thus make the classroom more engagingthrough peer-to-peer learning as opposed to a situation where the instructor simply works outproblems on the white-board. Furthermore, the instructor was very supportive of his TA tryinginnovative teaching methods that are not very common or frequently used in the departmentcourses as long as the goal was to improve student engagement. For this class of 40 students, theone and a half hour long, once-a-week discussion section was divided into 2 equal groups andoccurred in back-to back sessions following a half hour break

However,questions remain about how to scaffold integrated science and engineering learning experiencesso that they provide all students with opportunities to develop disciplinary practices in ​bothscience and engineering. When students shift between inquiring into a phenomenon anddesigning a solution to a problem, do they need different kinds of support for documenting theirwork meaningfully, collaborating with peers, or working with data to support explanation andargumentation? Although curriculum developers and educators often intend for students toconnect scientific findings to inform design

According to Harriman5, the key to effective curriculum is makingsure that the needs of the student, the instruction, and the delivery mechanism are allcongruent with one another. Before being able to meet the needs of the students, theinstructor must know what those needs are. Because there are many various learning styles,the curriculum has implemented one of the more popular style surveys VARK (Visual, Aural,Reading & Writing, Kinesthetic). VARK is sometimes criticized for lacking empiricalsupport but continues to remain popular in education6.The curriculum has also incorporated the Community of Enquiry Framework7 by whichpresents the concept that students participating in community engagement can

Some students say that they learn better when they can see a person's face and converse in real time with a peer or instructor. - Requires self-discipline.

Another important element, especially for girls, is having a role model towhom they can relate on a personal level, rather that a role model who is perceived as being astar in the field and thus unapproachable [3]. This indicates that undergraduate women inengineering could effectively mentor younger students because they would be able to relate tothem as individuals.
