This is especially true within the highlydesired science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors. The value of adegree from a top school allows the holder more potential job offers, a higher starting salary, anda wider geographical range of job opportunities, and research shows that the value for low-SESstudents is even greater [2].Historically, universities

The diversity of the teacher workforce in the USA,however, does not reflect the diversity of the student population, resulting in most Americanstudents coming from different backgrounds than their teachers [1]. When teachers do notunderstand the different backgrounds of their students, learning can be inhibited. As Delpit [2]explains, “We educators set out to teach, but how can we reach the worlds of others when wedon't even know they exist?” (pg. 14).One way educators can learn more about the cultures of their students is through the use ofethnographic observation methods [3,4]. Through studying the communities and homes of theirstudents, teachers can identify local and familial funds of knowledge that students bring

As engineering designinstructors, it is often difficult to get students out of the conceptual design space and into the mindset ofprototyping and building physical artifacts. To evaluate the student experiences, engineering self-efficacycould help to understand the intrinsic motivation as well as their academic performance [3-4], especiallywhen evaluated in a making environment that utilizes the constructionist framework in the designclassroom.The

The students analyze their design in terms of a severity-occurrence-detectability score, demonstrate understanding of the implications, and make changes to thedesign as needed. Their pedagogical approach seeks to combine DFx and FMEA so that studentslearn theory and gain from hands-on applications. “The learning outcome for students is amethod that they can systematically identify and correct potential product or process deficienciesbefore they occur” [1, p 29].Process FMEA is used in the aeronautical engineering technology two-course series of

RPSs provide acollaborative learning pedagogical approach that is effective because 1) collaboration triggerscognitive processes associated with learning, including perspectival thinking (Hmelo-Silver,Chinn, Chan & O'Donnell, 2013); 2) collaborative activity allows learners to strengthenunderstanding of material they have already learned and repair mental models that maybefragmented or incomplete (Webb, 2013); and, 3) a cognitive-elaboration approach withincollaborative learning requires
