2 Research Design Quasi-experimental design embedded in curriculum development process Pre-post assessments of Content knowledge Perceptions of engineers at work Tinkering Self-efficacy Engineering notebooks Career behaviors survey 10/23/09 ECI.09.ppf.LCAnnMtgPrs ppt

3 External Evaluation Design
The external evaluation focused on: Confirmation of effectiveness Scale-up Sustainability 10/23/09 ECI.09.ppf.LCAnnMtgPrs ppt

4 Conceptual Shifts The fundamental conceptual shift in this project was from: teacher-directed de-contextualized learning to student-engaged project-based learning fixed skills and knowledge as learning outcomes to the desired outcomes being that students are actively engaged; develop the capacity to explore and figure things out; and act like an engineer. 10/23/09 ECI.09.ppf.LCAnnMtgPrs ppt
