volunteer engineers.After the fourth month of programming, librarians and ASCE volunteers completed a survey andinterviews. All library staff and nearly all ASCE representatives agreed that collaborating with their partnerlibrary or ASCE branch benefited their organization. ASCE volunteers valued librarians’ expertise inworking with youth and appreciated that they took the lead in planning program activities and logistics,which made it easier for volunteers to participate in outreach. Librarians acknowledged the dedication andenthusiasm of their ASCE partners and valued their content knowledge both because it exposed theirpatrons to real-life engineers, but also because it made library staff feel more comfortable presenting thistype of program

They have to choose one out of those three to start the development and planning process. The ideas are presented to the class, where peers and the instructor can make comments and ask questions, further solidifying their projects details. Students propose three ideas and receive

NSF Advance-PLAN projectdesigned to address gender equity through policy change on a statewide level. The project isbased on the model of change that identifies effective change as a top-down policy drivenapproach through a central authority, in this case, a statewide board of regents that oversees allpublic universities. The model for top-down change is particularly suited to a small, rural statewhere a) n-values for gender related statistics at any institution may not be statisticallysignificant b) institutional relations allow for cross-state cooperation and c) size of theinstitutions allows for timely implementation and assessment of policies.

Here the results were more mixed. Based on subplots B and C the majorityof students felt the project did help them in experimental planning and data capture and inlearning new ways to produce visualizations in MATLAB. However, few students found theproject provided practice in producing physical hardware using campus MakerSpaces. This islikely because many teams ended up producing their sensor mountings using off-the-shelfcomponents and did not need to use the campus facilities.Finally, Figure 5 presents results regarding how much students enjoyed the project and how wellthey thought

The overall goal of the contest was to encourage students ages11-18 to participate in artistic creativity within the realm of aerospace engineering designprojects. The focus of the contest submission was on the formation of plans and ideas, not a fullyengineered detailed project outline.

Smart and Winograd (2013) explain clearly that, “experience ofitself does not result in learning, rather reflection is a deliberate act requiring planning, it is anactive, persistent and considered process requiring the practitioner to become aware of and tochallenge that which is taken for granted.” Consequently, the reflection that comes withexperiential learning is vital to the retention of knowledge. Knowledge that can then bepersonalized is better ingrained into memory.Reflection that accompanies failure and confusion is an even stronger form of learning.
