The primary service provided to The DoSeum by thispartnership with the Engineering Section at San Antonio College is to allow The DoSeum tofulfill the four dimensions of children’s museums as defined by the Association of Children’sMuseums (ACM) [22], [23]. According to the ACM, “all children’s museums function acrossfour dimensions, as local destinations, educational laboratories, community resources, andadvocates for children. They are experts in designing learning spaces that
failure to switch from a PhD to a master's. That was the second time I went to counseling. I was just kind of working through those feelings of failure, even though it was an active decision.All the participants expressed that they found the utilization of counseling to be helpful. Becky,for example, described how going to counseling in response to the anxiety attacks she hadexperienced in her research laboratory, gave her useful tools. She shared, I did feel as though I was able to get good insights. He showed me how to like if I had another anxiety attack, breathing mechanisms that I could do to kind of stimulate my parasympathetic system and slow my heart rate and stuff like that, calm my system down.Erin

(SSI) have received increased attention from many science andengineering educators, as it provides a meaningful learning opportunity to improve students'argumentation skills [4] - [7]. In the SSI environment, students can formulate positions, negotiatediverse ideas, and make decisions about important issues directly related to their everyday life [8].The problems in SSI contexts are “more open-ended, debatable, complex, or ill-structured” [9,p.140] than the general scientific hypothesis in the laboratory. In this kind of environment, studentsare required to apply their epistemic understanding of argument (i.e., what counts as good evidence,what counts as a good claim) to debate, reach a consensus, or make decisions [10] - [12].Sadler [6

In 2018, the Hagfors Center for Science,Business & Religion opened, providing enhanced classrooms to support active learning andexpanded laboratory space to support undergraduate research. About 35-40 full-timeundergraduate research slots within the STEM disciplines are funded through Augsburg’s officeof undergraduate research and a TRiO McNair Scholars program each summer. Over the last fiveyears, nine new tenure-track STEM faculty were hired, increasing the capacity to mentorundergraduate researchers.1.3 The AugSTEM Scholars ProgramAugsburg has received two awards

set-ups including laboratoryexperiments. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the students. Building a model, testing a model, generating physical datafrom the model, and analyzing said data, help students alternate between inductive and deductiveprocesses, thus broadening their design vision and understanding the experimental approach toengineering design. There is potentially a real need to
selecting a group member (or members) to be tested and thus proxy for the group. • Sharing known skills- Students who possess certain knowledge or skills (examples: computer skills, laboratory skills, data reduction skills, presentation skills) should be willing to pass it on, and/or share it with their group members. • Collaborative Skills- Groups cannot function effectively if members do not have (be willing to learn) or use some needed social skills. These skills include leadership, decision making, trust building, and conflict management. • Monitoring Progress- Groups need to discuss amongst themselves whether they are achieving their set goals; they also need

There are three general reasons to assess any project or program- to improve theprogram or project; to inform stakeholders whether the program, or project, is achieving it’sgoals; or to prove a program, or project is meeting, or has met its intended goals.

They were exposed to differentconcepts while working in the research laboratories as well as during their design activities.
