The other 20% (or so) of the credit can be reserved for whatwe call “challenge problems,” which require a more complicated solution process involvingmultiple steps and multiple concepts. But even for the challenge problems, a complete andcorrect solution is required to receive credit.When the grading rubric is

The problem-solving sessions were also collaborativeto promote peer learning. In-class quizzes were also administered as a formative assessment tool.Other active-learning opportunities included Jeopardy-style games to engage students.

On the other hand, a growth mindset amongstudents from low-income backgrounds is more empowering to a student’s academicperformance than a growth mindset among students from high-income backgrounds (Claro et al.,2016). This finding is highly relevant to the STARS program since students from low-incomebackgrounds are targeted. Potentially, persistence in engineering could be linked to a student’smindset.

Several of thestudents thought the credentials would help them be more competitive or be used in the course oftheir career.

The authors plan to delve more deeply into artifact elicitation as anevaluative method in further work.This is not to suggest that Making takes the place of rigorous engineering training. As the datapresented in this paper shows, there would be a clear need for the purposeful integration ofhigher level math into project based making.

Prior to Suffolk, they had no engineering network at all. The contrast in the students' personal networks pre- and post-Maine was sharp.

Similar to the writing acrossthe curriculum movement of years past, EAC proponents integrate the study of ethics intocourses in the major, rather than farming it out to a philosophy department.
