For example, some student mentor pairings have notbeen ideal. Personality clash can be a problem for some students that are more sensitive than others. So, changes inmentors have been made mid program for a couple of students. These changes did work out much better in the endbut was still a challenge to face.In order to help with the stress that arises during the program, the new workshops are being developed that will teachthe students new methods for dealing with stress.

The course is one credit andtaught by the same instructor teaching the Freshman Introduction to Engineering course. As apart of the class requirement, the senior students are expected over 7-8 weeks, to mentor, andassist freshman students in the completion of a realistic 3-D printing design project.

These latter students, therefore, would benefitfrom engineering instruction that values their out-of-school practices and uses them as a bridgeto the formal practices of engineering so that students do not feel like engineering is a “foreign”discipline that is “not me.” 21Theoretical Perspectives of Funds of KnowledgeIn previous educational literature, the construct of “funds of knowledge” has served as a bridgethat connects students’ household and peer bodies of knowledge with the formal bodies ofknowledge learned in school. Authors have used the term “funds of knowledge” to describe thecultural knowledge and skills present in students’ households and communities, which includeknowledge related to agriculture, health, workplace skills, ethics
