Dr. Hayder is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Technology at Savannah State University, GA. He received PhD in Mechanical Engineering from McGill University, Canada. His research interest lies in the areas of engineering education, fluid-structure interaction, flow-induced vibrations, syngas and blended fuel combustion, nanofluids, and flow and structural simulations.
Christopher S. Stronen Savannah Technical College
I am a student attending Savannah Technical College pursuing the Electrical and Computer Engineering Associates Degree. I have completed two internships of the NOYCE Summer Program.
In the Fall 2017 I will transfer to Savannah State to finish the Electrical Engineering Technology Bachelor's Program and successfully pass my FE exam to become a certified Engineer for the state of Georgia.
Abstract
K-12 school teachers in general lack formal instruction and classroom training to teach STEM courses. Research also, indicates that most K-12 teachers are normally required to complete only minimal coursework in science and mathematics, which constrains their knowledge, ability, and confidence for teaching STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) content. Furthermore, K-12 teachers, like much of the general public, have inadequate comprehension about the relationship between STEM concepts and engineering fields and the kind of work and collective contributions made by engineers. Yet, K-12 school is a critical time in which students develop foundational understanding of STEM concepts, career options, and critical thinking learning skills. To address the aforementioned issues XXX State University and YYY Technical College in collaboration with NASA developed four week Summer Educational Internship Program for Math and Engineering Technology rising sophomore students to prepare them for two week teaching experience with students in grades 6-12. Fifteen (12 from XXX and 3 from YYY) students were selected to participate in the Summer Educational Internship Program (SEIP) and was offered a stipend of $1000. Several instructional models were explored for teaching mathematics and engineering at grades 6-12 levels. Summer educational internship program was divided into three different phases. In phase I students attended a week course offered by NASA which provided them with hands on activities that can be integrated in teaching of STEM from 6-12 grades, in phase II summer interns were given assistance on teaching methodologies and in phase III summer interns were involved in teaching students from 6-12 grades. This paper will describe all three phases of summer educational internship program to enhance the interest of summer interns in STEM disciplines.
