Most engineering outreach programs are a part of STEM outreach efforts and they often fail to bring engineering-specific interests. We present a unique engineering outreach effort with the focus on “engineering design” with the use of Arduino UNO board. Arduino UNO board was used to achieve the design oriented learning and bring creativity through various projects targeting 7–8th graders. In order to achieve the design oriented outreach goal, several strategies were employed. The program was called “Science Art’ to provide familiar concept of design and challenge them with technology. College engineering students directly mentored 7–8th graders in a small group setting to teach technical details. In addition, the efforts were sustained for an entire quarter. It successfully drew the participants in all diverse ethnic and gender groups. The use of Arduino board project allowed development of design concepts and promoted creativity to the middle school students. Student mentees’ feedback was very positive, showing almost perfect approval. At the same time, college mentors equally benefited from the experiences by increasing interpersonal skills and gaining technical confidence. In conclusion, the close mentorship and sustained effort provided a great way to implement the Arduino based program to a middle school and thus achieve the design oriented outreach goal. This approach can be widely used for other design oriented outreach program.

Scientific Imagination

This research was conducted to evaluate the scientific imagination of Grade 10 students from one Malaysian rural secondary school that adopted the integration of the imagination process in an Engineering Design Process (EDPI) through an outreach program in STEM. Three stages of scientific imagination process were evaluated: initiation, dynamic adjustment, and virtual implementation. A total of 50 students aged 16 participated in a 10-hour program, which engaged them in designing and building two different prototypes. Data on students’ scientific imagination were captured through a pre-test and post-test, and teachers’ field notes based on focus group interviews and observations. The results of paired sample t-tests showed significant differences in all three stages of scientific imagination process, except in the brainstorming of the initiation stage. The findings reveal that students required both personal experience and social or environment interactions in order to progress from the initiation stage to the virtual implementation stage. The findings also suggested that the EDPI approach is able to create a supportive environment for fostering scientific imagination among rural secondary school students. Keywords: engineering design process, scientific imagination, STEM.
