organizing the data collectors and collected data. This is particularly true when working inclassroom settings. Large-scale data collection across multiple schools and classrooms in P-12settings has its own unique set of challenges. To begin with, identifying potential schools andteachers as adopters can be difficult (Back et al., 2015). Schools have schedules and professionaldevelopment commitments; planning for simultaneous implementation for multiple schoolsneeds to be carried out months in advance (Nadelson et al., 2013). Letters of commitment areoften needed from any potential collaborating institutions. P-12 schools may require only a letterof collaboration from the principal, or an in-depth vetting process involving specific

At the end of year one, we were able to bring together individuals from ourpartnership organizations at a summer summit to engage in collaborative curriculumdevelopment. Although the university still had a heavy hand in finalizing the classroom activitiesfor year two, this model of engagement allowed for more teacher buy-in with the material,consistent with our goals for sustainability. Another summit is planned for the end of year twoand, informed by our preliminary research findings, we seek to further scaffold classroomresponsibility to shift

difficulty.One tool for promoting first-to-second year undergraduate student retention is the use of a first-year seminar [5]. Most first-year seminars take place in small, discussion based settings and theyconsist of curricular and co-curricular topics that are designed to help students integrate bothacademically and socially into college life [6]. Due to the high number of credit hours requiredfor students in the GVSU School of Engineering, the first year curriculum is being reviewed toidentify how to include a mandatory first year seminar in the program plans. Rather than waitingfor the planning and approving of a fist year seminar, the learning skills modules wereimplemented in an Introduction to Engineering course during the Fall 2018 semester.The

K-12 science teachers are increasingly pressured to include engineeringdesign in their curriculum; however, there are relatively few engineering-focused professionaldevelopment programs in comparison to those for traditional science and mathematics.

students on the path toskill development, it is critical to assess whether or not they intend to change their behaviorsbased on the feedback with which they have been provided. The theory of planned behavior16postulates that behavioral intentions are the most proximal construct to behavioral change, asthey represent one’s attitude towards that behavior. This then captures the effort they are willingto expend in order to engage in that behavior and their motivation to engage in that behavior andimprove upon it. However, the role of intentions in future behavior is qualified by individuals’volitional control over the behavior in question, which is the control the individual has over theirability to engage in that behavior16.

Additionally, we believe that having awelcoming, inclusive environment is a precursor to improving diversity and thus should be animportant consideration in mechanical engineering education. We propose that introducing a fewcarefully designed practices that require very few resources and cause minimum disruption couldresult in a more welcoming and inclusive environment.Bringing about change for a more inclusive environment can be challenging, namely in that itcan be disruptive and require resources, but careful planning and strategic use of resources canhelp alleviate these challenges.
