and reflections for this study. Noneof the TCs were science or engineering majors, and all were specializing in one of three contentareas: Social Studies (n = 3), English Language Arts (n = 8), and Mathematics (n = 12). All theTCs were in their final semester of coursework and teaching practicum before their full-timestudent teaching semester. The TCs included 15 women and 8 men. A key goal of the course was that the preservice teachers learn to recognize and value thescience and engineering learning opportunities that are embedded within their areas of contentspecialization. During Weeks 12 and 13 of the fifteen-week course, learning aims focused oninterdisciplinary connections of engineering and technology across the middle level

that should be fostered in students if they are to meetthese criteria [4], [5].The term “expertise” is often used to define a person with the deep content knowledge necessaryto operate effectively in a given field [6]. Experts typically have: (1) knowledge that is greaterthan memorized facts or operations related to the field; (2) an ability to notice important patternsand features that is obscure to novices; (3) an organized knowledge structure reflecting their deepunderstanding, and (4) the ability to quickly and accurately retrieve their knowledge with lowcognitive effort. It is understood, however, that experts in the same discipline may exhibit thesecharacteristics to different degrees or differ in the manner in which they are able to

like my energy was completely gone.”Other students identified coping mechanisms in the form of exercise especially “getting outside”to combat self-identified mental illness, loneliness, isolation, or a general feeling of having a lotof time on their hands. A few were very enthusiastic about hobbies that they engaged in becausethey were able to reorient their time away from social activities and towards their own interests.This was mirrored in the more hopeful reflections of students who identified their pandemicexperience as drawing them close to the “things that mattered” such as this student who stated,“[t]he pandemic wasn’t a good thing but it made me learn things I probably wouldn’t haveknown for awhile [sic],” commenting on the importance

All seniorsare required to complete a Senior Capstone Project as a celebration of learning. It is designed to preparesenior students attending the Academy for lifelong learning and productive citizenship through theopportunity to plan, complete, and present a self-directed project reflecting a civic interest. In its first 3years after opening, the Academy was confronted by the typical challenges associated with executing aproject-based learning model, inclusive of students lacking the knowledge and the technical skills neededto independently conduct research and collect data.

conclusion based on the available information. The literatureoffers no unique definition on critical thinking but it conveys the meaning that critical thinking isthe intellectual process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing,synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation orexperience. Critical thinking is also connected with cognitive processes like reflection,reasoning, or communication as a guide to belief and decision-making. While a literature reviewof critical thinking yields a plethora of descriptors and a variety of definitions [e.g., 25], mostauthors include basic phases of critical thinking. Critical thinking involves metacognitive actionsalong several capabilities that goes

Section 7.STRUCTURE OF A REPORTA significant part of the report grade will reflect its organization and clarity, so it is important towork hard at decomposing what is often a complex 3-dimensional mesh of inter-related conceptsinto a well structured (and by definition linear) sequence of ideas in a report. Although many ofthe section headings are therefore at the discretion of the authors, a report should include at leastthe following:Cover PageThe project title, authors of the report, together with their affiliation (i.e. Villanova University)should be presented nicely as in the cover page of this Guide. Also include the project advisors,the course number and date. The project title itself should be clear and concise, i.e. 8

much enjoyed the guest lectures; it was one of the few times that I learned about how the course material was actually being used in industry. Also, I think the flipped classroom worked well for this course as with programming, questions tend to arise when you are working on an activity rather than learning the syntax. • The guest lectures and seeing industry applications of Python in chemical engineering are very enjoyable. I was doubtful about the structure where videos were posted for watching outside of class and activities were given during class time, but upon reflection I think it was probably the best way to learn the material. • Flipped classroom and in class assignments that we can ask for help

the on-line approach, both asynchronous and synchronous deliveryoptions were available to accommodate the range of activities undertaken, including readings,teacher contributions to discussion, and completion of assignments by teachers. Discussionforums allowed teachers to share content, ideas, instructional strategies, and alternativeperspectives. As part of the project, teachers implemented and maintained electronic portfolios,that included lesson plans and samples of student work, especially those for “observed classes”either by videotape, through the web, or live. Teachers were also asked to reflect upon theirimplementation of the lesson plans, describing successes and problem areas that occurred duringthe implementation. At an

projects funded by the SBIR program reflect societal significance of the missions of theaforementioned participating agencies. Every year, each participating federal agency compiles,ranks, down selects, and publishes a list of desired STEM-based innovations that are alignedwith its societally significant mission but which are not commercially available. Each agencyalso publishes instructions on how to apply for SBIR funding, how applications are evaluated,abstracts of previous awards (the proposals themselves are confidential), and award statistics.The number of solicited innovations, called “topics” in SBIR parlance, has increased from 842 in2011 to over two thousand in 2018 (United States Small Business Administration, 2021).
