Thispaper also includes some additional discussion related to partial assessment specific to RQ4(Figure 1): How does triggered interest stimulated by ENGR 111 contribute to maintainedinterest in engineering?Figure 1. The overall conceptual framework has two phases. The first phase focuses on interest triggered bythe first-year makerspace course. The second phase focuses on maintained interest further into academiccareer(s).1.2 Interest in Engineering and Potential Significance in Student RetentionIncreasing the quantity of graduating engineers is challenging because factors associated withengineering student retention are multifaceted and not thoroughly understood [8
, computerand software engineering students engaged in an S-STEM program at a predominantly white publicinstitution in the Midwest. S-STEM is a federally funded program aimed at diversifying STEM fields byincreasing the enrollment and persistence of low-income students. Using phenomenology allowed formeaning making and exploration of both religious and engineering experiences (Moustakas, 1994).The present study focused on the experiences of Theresa, a traditionally aged, Asian American (SoutheastAsian) computer engineering student who participated in three in-depth, semi-structured interviews abouther engineering identity experiences. From all of the participants of the larger study, we chose to go ingreater depth with Theresa because her engineering

and tensilestrength.Explanation of Materials ChosenThe material the team chose for 2019’s Rover completion tires is MatterHackers NylonG, whichis a glass-fiber- reinforced -nylon. In the materials testing conducted, NylonG had the highestimpact resistance and an impressive amount of tensile strength. These reasons made it the bestchoice for the pneumonic tire because it can absorb consistent, hard-hitting impacts and still keepits original composure after elastic deformation.The team decided to employ a new material for the spoke segments. This material is currentlymanufactured by 3DXTech Company. The base material for this filament is a semi-aromaticpolyamide copolymer, referred to in conversation as nylon. Due to the higher

believethat our modules had a greater impact on those students who were newer to computationalthinking, over those who had prior experience and were enrolled in upper-level computationalcourses.1 IntroductionAccording to Wing, Computational Thinking (CT) is the thought processes involved informulating a problem and expressing its solution(s) in such a way that an information processor– human or machine – can effectively carry out that solution [1]. The educational philosophybehind Computational Thinking is that problems in every discipline can be solved by the tools ofcomputation such as algorithmic thinking, decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition. Forinstance, one of the pillars of computational thinking is algorithmic thinking
