To understand the nature of students’ reasoning, we analyzed students’discourse to explore two competing hypotheses: (H1) The Formalisms First (FF) hypothesis thatstudents report their mechanical reasoning predominantly using mathematical formalisms thattake on a disembodied, allocentric (observer) point-of-view; or (H2) the Grounded andEmbodied Cognition (GEC) hypothesis that students predominantly use independent speechwhich includes analogy and imagery to simulate the physical structure and function of anobject(s) using an embodied, egocentric (first-person) point-of-view in addition to an allocentricpoint-of-view.

challenging to address the issues surrounding girl education in certain contexts, especiallywhen the cultural differences of the stakeholders are not handled properly. Our partners at PlanInternational initiated an endeavor that focuses on educating girls around the globe. Theirframework places the students as equal stakeholders in their programs, this allows the girls tobuild their confidence and become “central drivers of change” [19]. This socioecologicalframework is meant to support the girls in impacting their communities and eventually thesocieties they live in. Our engineering design curriculum is one of the many way ’s girls in ruralSub-Saharan African can become dynamic members of their communities. Increasing theparticipation of girls in

average by requiring its aircraft suppliers to design forthe variability observed among its pilots [3].While variability across humans is now acknowledged in aerospace engineering, other sources ofvariability are still mistreated. The standard practice in aerospace design is to quantify certainmaterial properties in terms of sample averages [5], a practice that has been in-use since at leastthe 1960’s [6]. This practice similarly ignores sources of variability, and exposes aircraftpassengers to elevated levels of risk.Figure 1. A rod with uniform cross-section, loaded in uniaxial tension.

educationbegan to become accepted in the U.S. in the 1990’s when the idea of combining action incommunity and structured learning began to be institutionalized as a pedagogy and as a field[1],[2]. The idea was called service-learning. Bringle and Hatcher [3] defined service learning as“a credit-bearing educational experience in which students participate in an organized serviceactivity that meets identified community needs and reflection on the service activity in such away as to gain further understanding of the course content, a broader appreciation of thediscipline and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility” (p. 222).Community service and civic engagement has been ingrained in the Indian culture from a verylong time.
