In 2008 andin 2015 we deployed a survey ("Project to Assess Climate in Engineering”) to undergraduateengineering students. In each survey year, just over 1000 eligible students participated andresponded to items contributing to scales rating their professors, teaching assistants, collegeresources, confidence (self-efficacy) in engineering, student interactions, perceptions ofengineering, and commitment to an engineering major

Often these classes are found on campuses under names such as“Physics for Poets” or “Physics of Toys”. Putting these two together would result in a project based course focused on the designcycle. Students could work to create several smaller projects following the design cycle.Introduction and small scale projects would allow students to develop familiarity with the designcycle.

The three basic tasks in this adaptationprocess, are ": 1) observing role models to identify potential identities, 2) experimenting withprovisional selves, and 3) evaluating these experiments against internal standards andexternal feedback" (p. 1). In this study, middle school students were initiated into ideaspertaining to design thinking via formalized instruction at a summer camp. The learners thenengaged with design activities as they experimented with their provisional selves, and thenthey were asked to reflect upon their project. These reflective narratives that form the thirdtask of Ibarra’s
