American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021Improving Integrated STEM Education: The Design and Development of a K- 12 STEM Observation Protocol (STEM-OP) (RTP)IntroductionThe collective education of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics has beencommonly referred to as STEM education. For K-12 education in the United States, the use ofthe phrase “STEM education” has repeatedly been used in reference to a more integratedcurricular and pedagogical approach, wherein the STEM disciplines are interconnected with oneanother and contextualized by real-world problems [1] – [3]. This shift from teaching the STEMdisciplines in
the NCEES Fundamentals of Engineering(FE) exam and the NCEES Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam. Most statesrequire at least four years of experiences after completion of an EAC-ABET accreditedengineering degree. However, the education requirement is far from uniform. Many state lawsinclude pathways to licensure for applicants with a non-accredited engineering degree, anengineering technology degree, a non-engineering bachelor’s degree, and no postsecondarydegree. In the following study, state engineering laws and rules were reviewed to determine theeducation, experience, and examination pathways to professional engineering licensure.

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 What Factors Influence the Interest of Male and Female Students in STEM (Evaluation)IntroductionTo strengthen our innovation and economy, a focus on STEM (Science Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics) is critical [1]. In the past five years, STEM field occupationshave grown by 10.5%, while non-STEM fields have grown by only 5.2% [2]. Although morejobs are being created in STEM fields, and with the need for more innovation in STEM, there isa lack of people entering the STEM workforce after high school. Few secondary educationstudents are interested in the STEM disciplines [3].The percentage of women in STEM fields in the United States is very small with
transformation in engineering education is the development of MassiveOpen Online Courses (MOOCs) in the last dozen or more years. Researchers have explored theapplications in engineering [5], the challenges of credentials [6], and the opportunities forincreasing knowledge of entrepreneurship [7]. The challenge of retention in MOOCs has beenexplored by several researchers [8]–[10]. The slow MOOC evolution of teaching in the remotespace has been accelerated by COVID in the last year.An important paradigm shift in higher education was described by Charles Vest as the emergingmeta-university [3]. He describes how technology might change education, allowingcollaboration across different domains. In 2020 this grand experiment accelerated as thepandemic forced

Literature on capstone studies have documented how toformulate teams, team group dynamics, and team peer surveys. Given new technologyadvancements, an area for continued study are strategies for how to have student teamscommunicate, collaborate and manage their designs with technology.

This AR-based supplementary learning tool is ready for use in the HVAC class forthis coming spring semester, and the app’s effectiveness will be more comprehensively evaluatedonce students in the class adopt the tool. Conclusion: A well-designed AR learning app willeffectively guide students to perform hands-on experiments related to the HVAC course. Thealternative pedagogy through AR technology also provides an efficient way to deliver practicalexperience online, especially when on-campus lab resources are limited or people are sheltered athome during natural disasters like the COVID-19 pandemic.Key Words: Covid-19, Engineering education
