innovations and research-based instructional strategies, 1, 2, 3, 4yet most engineering faculty continue to rely on traditional methods of delivery in their courses. Over a decade ago, Felder et al.5 explained that the gap between the current state ofknowledge and the practice results are due to the perception and reality that good teaching is notvalued in terms of career advancement. The authors made a compelling case for the need to cre-ate a positive campus climate for good teaching. Further research has shown that many facultywho attempt to implement research-based instructional practices (RBIS) stop using them whenthey encounter challenges or barriers.2 These include lack of class time, lack of instructor time,lack of rewards or recognition

Firstly, the benefit is for the community that is servedby students, and secondly, students are encouraged to connect and reflect how their educationconnects to their professional career. Through the experience students feel better about theiractions and understand the need and therefore the impact engineers have on a community. Thisencourages them to learn more about their chosen profession, and feel more confident about theirachievements. Also, students have a chance to practice and apply what they learn in class in areal project where they are exposed to the results of their design.

The net result of the interacting emotions may be anything from a meltdown of the engineer’s confidence (and concomitant drop in innovation-related competencies) to a team experience that improves the product, learns about the product/customer domain and builds team esprit de corps (and builds innovation-related competencies of individuals).

interest in pursuing in college and as a career. But there is adichotomy - mathematics is a precise science, and any problem solving engineering paradigmprovides an optimal (or near optimal) solution. Anyone with an engineering perspective learns toappreciate this and continue to combine the two skills advantageously. However, not all studentssignificantly develop this skill when learning math in their curriculum as they may not see theconnection between the theoretical concepts in the subject and the practical problems associatedwith STEM fields. This lack of a connection could negatively affect the students’ performanceand interest in STEM. Our initial focus was to develop the robot as a tool for problem solving 1-3.We also made sure that it is

In Coral’spre interview, she already expressed a strong sense of what career she wants to pursue. Shedescribed wanting to be a mechanical engineer and having attended other camps related toengineering. Coral also identifies herself as a builder, and on her school’s robotics team, shefeels more competent building rather than programming. To her, a lack of background orcoursework in programming prevents her from taking on a programming role, and she says shewould be able to program after taking a formal class.By the mid-camp interview, we don't see much of a shift in access.

How can engineering educationresearchers leverage research tools from other disciplines to conduct research in an aerospacecontext? Engineering education researchers apply research to link professional practice toclassroom practice in order to keep the classroom up-to-date or even anticipate the knowledgeand skills that engineers will need to be successful in their careers. Engineering educationresearchers also investigate how students learn, from preschool years all the way through lifelonglearning as adults. Because the uniqueness of the learner and context of learning influence eachother, researchers must pay attention to the learner, the content, and the
