makerclub. There is growing interest in project-based learning (PBL), makerspaces and other relativelyopen-ended learning environments that afford many entry points and pathways into and throughengineering. Though often focused on engineering design and digital fabrication, these spacesoften support a range of activities and technologies, from laser cutting and 3D printing, toelectronics and e-textiles, to carpentry, sewing, painting and digital media, and so have thepotential to attract students who may not have yet identified an interest in engineering.Unlike more traditional curriculum, open-ended makerspaces elicit many sticking points andmoments of uncertainty which can serve as rich contexts for conceptual development anddisciplinary practice

They are an entire category of materials which are rapidly gaining acceptance andmarket share as engineered commodity materials. The volume of composites used has risen 65%since 1996 [2]. Composite materials do, however, present some unique challenges in design thatare not present in more traditional materials such as steel, concrete, etc. The traditional materialsare typically the ones considered in most undergraduate and graduate engineering curricula.Among the issues presented by composites include the tailoring of fiber types, fiber volume,fiber architectures, as well as matrix materials and processing methods.

Yet, aside from a capstoneexperience at the end of the curriculum, few students are prepared to apply learning beyond theway it is covered in the lecture or presented in the textbook. They are uncomfortable solvingproblems that are not well structured and require the integration of multiple concepts to craft asolution. They have little experience with either under-constrained or over-constrained problems.Unfortunately, this traditional approach to teaching and learning in engineering does noteffectively encourage knowledge and skills transfer to other

Given the importance of heat transfer, it is most troubling that recent research shows thatstudents have a limited understanding of heat transfer principles even after the completion of oneor more heat transfer courses1. Specifically, students have shown (i) a significant lack ofconceptual understanding of heat transfer principles, (ii) an inability to transfer knowledge tosubsequent courses and out-of-context problems, and (iii) an insufficient transformation fromnovice to “competent practitioner.” Despite completing several courses in thermal and transport sciences, a significantnumber of

Whileliterature indicates that EL programming is more effective when integrated into the corecurriculum rather than distributed in optional activities [13], other studies reveal that changingthe engineering core curriculum can be quite difficult [6, 14, 15]. These latter studies, coupledwith the observed trend of optional EL course implementation, suggest that the self-selectivenature of students’ EL course participation will continue to be commonplace – at least in the nearterm.Given the voluntary status of many undergraduate EL courses, it may be appropriate for ELeducators to consider the cross-sectional representativeness of their course cohorts relative totheir university’s overall engineering
