Hatchery Units are onecredit courses that are designed to address gaps in students’ technical knowledge identified bylocal industry, infuse ethics and social justice in the undergraduate computer science curriculum,and build communities of practice while providing a more streamlined integration experience fortransfer students to the program. Guided by Rawl’s [33] theory of social justice, the team willwork with students and faculty to create an environment that is welcoming and supportive for allundergraduate CS students and encourage graduates of the program to work to promote thesevalues as future computer science professionals. The development of these values will bepromoted by building communities

ofengineering students‘ academic and career decisions, the second study finds that students‘decisions to select engineering as a college major and to persist in undergraduate engineeringstudies are influenced by the available resources in their social networks, as well as the activationof those resources. Social networks and social capital characteristics are often viewed in terms ofsize and heterogeneity (with the idea that large, more heterogeneous networks typically result inmore social capital). While this is often true, this study's preliminary results also reveal thatsometimes only one person (a social capital ―agent‖) or experience (i.e. resource) can also beinfluential in students' selection and persistence in engineering studies.

Critical thinkinginvolves reasoning, decision making, and problem solving while seeking for effectiveness,novelty, and self-direction2. Critical thinking is effective because it avoids common pitfalls, suchas seeing only one side of an issue, discounting new evidence that disconfirms one’s ideas,reasoning from passion rather than logic, and failing to support statements with evidence.

The final design report is a written report in which at least two product styles are compared. For example, a team might look at a drawer-type CD holder versus a flip-lid type. The report should include an evaluation of possibilities presented by various manufacturing methodologies studied in this course. In addition, the design decisions made by the student team must be justified in the report. (5) The student team is required to build a model of one of the styles analyzed
