The academicyear following the RET, he switched to teaching ninth graders in the same rural system’s highschool. • Mr. S’ developed curriculum activity featured an introductory look at wireless communications in his integrated science course that he shared with his ninth-grade students. Aside from a Morse code activity for the students to complete, the lesson was mostly a lecture format with Mr. S asking frequent questions for comprehension checking. Students did indicate their understanding of the key points being illustrated by the teacher through discussion responses.Ms. M. has

deploy and operate existing wind energy technology, but to evolve thetechnology to be more efficient, cost effective, and adaptable to the electricity grid. Asprogressively larger and technologically more sophisticated turbines are designed and built, bothonshore and off, and as wind plants continue to provide an ever-larger fraction of the energysupply, there are significant scientific and engineering challenges to be addressed such asmaterials and structures, grid integration, and energy storage [6], [7]. In planning for the future,universities, and members of the North American Wind Energy Academy (NAWEA), identifieda number of strategies to address the lack of university programs, most of which rely oncollaboration. These include
opportunities for students at the undergraduate level toconnect STEM and the global [2]. However, we want to create environments that transcendSTEM and put STEAM at the forefront of an integral, necessary education that nurtures thesensibility to learn from local and global partners.References[1] D.E.

Such structures are open toconflict both within and between them. For example, as Larry Bucciarelli has showndesigners work in a social system and the resultant designs are as much a result of the culturecreated by the system as they are of anything else [8]. Elsewhere it has been suggested thatunderpinning all these knowledges is the desire of an organization to learn [9].Therefore to be technology literate an individual requires an integrated knowledge from anumber of disciplines including engineering.

This series began with the mission of questioningpractices and education in the built environment that are integrated in formal instruction. Thegoal is to utilize an alternative method of education where participants (students, faculty, staff,and administrators) recognize how their discipline shapes and supports systems of oppression,while giving them tools to combat it.Before each session, videos and readings were provided to participants to establish anunderstanding of the new topic. The online workshop started with a brief lecture from an SDEIcommittee

The pinnacle of the best practices is an integration ofthese various layers and an assessment plan that allows practitioners to make changes.There are two types of research that has been conducted on LLCs: those that compare acrossmultiple programs and those that focus on one particular program.

The model is built on a well-thought-out program design reflected in a transferarticulation agreement and a joint commitment to quality and student success. Integral to theapproach is the requirement that the rigor of the curriculum at the community college matches thatof the 4-year partner. In addition, faculty, administration, and staff work synchronously andcollaboratively to provide intentional student support at each institution, with financial assistanceup to the master's degree completion.

this ideatakes form as optional work, where curriculum is designed by the instructor to help students gaina full understanding, but it is the decision of each student how much they will choose to engagewith the content. Weimer’s take on responsibility for learning is that faculty have an unhealthy large shareof the load. As educators, faculty design “rules, regulations, and stipulations” to force studentbehaviors into line with our assumptions about what positively affects learning. The argument ismade that this is a disservice to students, contributing to graduates with little commitment to orrespect for learning, who cannot function without structure and imposed control. However, theauthor believes that Weimer in this instance has
universityeducation tends towards an integral formation, where teachers take a role as process facilitators,adapting strategies to students' needs. In this approach, all actors are relevant since theycontribute with ideas, reflections, and feedback en-route to a shared learning experience;therefore, everybody learns continuously, which allows us to develop continuous improvementsand apply what we teach. Here lies the value of feedback provided by each student.As can be seen in figure 5, the Questionnaire proposes seven areas to evaluate by students.

whoparticipate in engineering activities have an increased understanding of science, engineering andtechnology [9]. A study by Yoon and colleagues [10] found that students in classrooms thatintegrated engineering concepts into the curriculum performed better on written assessmentsmeasuring student knowledge of science, work of engineers, the engineering design process, andtechnology than those who did not participate in an integrated classroom environment. Englishand Mousoulides’ [11] study found that elementary students who were exposed to engineeringwere better prepared for high school and college-level coursework and had a greater appreciationfor how their learning of STEM topics in school connected to the real-world. Unfortunately,teachers express
from under a time crunch. Nonetheless,students had a positive perception of the increase in their understanding of fluids and heattransfer. Future work may seek to quantify this increase in student understanding of 3D printingas well as fluids and heat transfer. Additionally, explicit instruction around task planning andtime management may allow motivated students to complete the project as intended.References [1] H. a. A. S.

Studentsare encouraged to take the exam at most universities, and some require it for graduation.Fourteen topic areas are tested on the multiple-choice exam [1]. Programs prepare students totake the exam in various ways, including: requiring specific courses in the curriculum, requiringstudents to take a course on every FE topic, providing optional review sessions outside of normalclass, requiring students to pass a university-version of an FE-style exam before graduation, orrequiring an FE-style review course or seminar.Few studies have directly linked student perception of successfully passing the FE exam
