Solar Car Figure 6: Pulling a Load with a Solar CarEach team prepares a summary sheet showing a sketch of their design, a bill of materials (theparts they used with the cost of each), the total cost of their design, and how much weight theircar was able to pull. After the competition, the entire class reflects on the results and discusseswhat worked and what did not.After completing this ETK, the students have learned about solar cells, motors, and tirematerials, but they have also learned about the engineering design process, and how to constructa vehicle to perform a task. They also learned how to measure the values of variables, theimportance of consistent procedures for making measurements, how to compute

They were called EngineeringCriteria 2000 and shifted the focus of undergraduate engineering accreditation from lists ofrequired courses to eleven learning outcomes (9).Preliminary WorkSome of the new outcomes went beyond the standard classic engineering education. Amongthem five outcomes (listed below as “f” through “g”) were a clear reflection of the need toanchor engineering education into ever-evolving reality of interaction between technology andsociety:f.

The role-playing game utilized here is a cooperative game requiring students playing characters withdifferent skills to overcome conceptual and combat challenges. The game was played in a labsection, with modifications to suit it to the purposes of the course.

Not only have researchers shown that internshipsproduce learning but Fogg and Putnam (2004) provided data indicating thatinternships often lead to higher earnings once in a professional job.Despite this evidence base, there are important limits to what we knowabout internships in engineering and the role they play in student success.Scholars who have focused on

Because of this gap in the ability andconfidence of science teachers to teach engineering, there is a need for improved professionallearning opportunities for these teachers.Instead of having the eight participating STEM teachers be only chaperones, they were given theopportunity to experience the engineering activities with their students and were able toparticipate in several evening workshops led by the researchers. In these workshops, the teacherswere able to reflect on and discuss their engineering experiences in the camp, participate inactivities related to implementing engineering in their classrooms, and were given time

We also added abrief time at the end of the activity to talk about what an engineer is and does, the variety ofscenes created and how that reflects the variety of engineers, and how students’ interests can fitwith the many different types of engineers. This shift moved the activity more into the realm ofan intervention rather than just data collection alone. The revised version of the activity was usedin the remaining nine classrooms.

As anexample of this shift, the Common Core standards for English and Mathematics were adopted byforty of the fifty states (although later repealed in a few states).In 2010, the National Academy of Engineering published a book discussing whether K-12standards should be developed for engineering, and if so how they should be incorporated intothe curriculum. After reviewing several approaches, the authors recommended that engineeringstandard be integrated into existing science standards to emphasize the symbiotic interaction ofengineering and science practices.

This study focuses on the students’ perceptions ofcourse elements and the extent to which students’ perception of the presence or absence of theseelements impacts their motivational state in their coursework.IntroductionIntrinsic motivation, defined as the “inclination toward assimilation, mastery, spontaneousinterest, and exploration”(2), is positively correlated with task-persistence and overallsatisfaction with a given task (3). Because intrinsic motivation is a self-generated state, onemight think that if faculty desire this as an outcome, they might have little impact on its presenceor absence in a given student - that’s what intrinsic means
