these observations, a quarter-long team project was introduced, where groups ofapproximately 10 students manufacture a working Stirling engine, as shown in Fig. 1.Hands-on labs where students produce working mechanical devices are far from new. Since the late1950’s however, many of these labs have been replaced with analytical work and exercises inengineering science [1,2]. Dejong [1] reminds us that it was the Grinter Report [3] that sent engineeringeducation in a much more theoretical and science based direction. Although these changes inengineering curricula led to many improvements, practice-based courses in the areas of design andmanufacturing have suffered.In the past several years, many authors have reported their efforts to

. Recently,many engineering educators have seen this “criterion swell” as symptomatic of rules that havebecome too cumbersome, too prescriptive, and a recipe for the evolution of “cookie cutter”programs. In fact, some have charged that the current ABET general criteria constitute anegative incentive for sound educational experimentation and the evolution of better teachingmethods. Although Criterion II.A.7 encourages well-planned experimentation, the engineeringcommunity has been reluctant to pursue such experimentation. Undoubtedly, the hesitation topursue such experimentation may, in part, be traced to a fear of restrictive interpretations of the“old criteria.”In the early 90’s, many outstanding institutions became openly frustrated with the

So we revisited our reason for doing this, thought about ourimplicit assumptions, laughed at the irony of co-writing a paper on diversity and then trying toforce the two of us into the same model, and happily restructured the paper.8.

two research questions, we designed a survey, sent it to K-12 computing educationresearchers, and then analyzed the results.3.1 Survey DesignWe began our survey design by modifying the survey used by McGill et al. due to its similarnature of exploring barriers in CER [32]. Our survey differs by explicitly considering barriers inK-12 computing education.Our survey had four primary sections: Research Background, CAPE Research Focus, Barriers toConducting Research, and Participant Demographic Characteristics. In the Research Backgroundsection participants were asked what age and school group they conducted research with, whatrole(s) they identified as in the K-12 CER community, and what communities (e.g. HistoricallyMarginalized Racial Groups

To that point, Maria, professor of chemical engineering noted, “for my institution,high quality teaching means good scores from student[s], which I don’t necessarily think is highquality or inclusive…student ratings do not include aspects of access and inclusion.”Of note, Tanya, an associate professor of chemistry, expressed that some faculty feel that highquality teaching means more work and inclusive teaching is less rigorous.
