In a high minority-population state like Arizona, superficialteaching of STEM subjects disproportionately undermines STEM learning of minority and low-income students4.The first facet of the project, mathematical function, is the unifying concept of the courses and isoften used by scientists and engineers as a mathematical model of change. Teachers are exploringthe concept vertically across grade levels and horizontally across science applications (biology,geology, physics, and chemistry) and engineering design.

, engineering programs in the United States have sought todevelop a larger role for professional ethics education in the curriculum. Accreditationrequirements have helped facilitate this shift. These requirements have themselves beendeveloped to help ensure that engineering graduates have the knowledge and skills—non-technical as well as technical—needed in today’s engineering profession. With this in mind, it isworth noting that almost half of all engineering graduate students in the U.S. are internationalstudents. And about forty percent of these remain in the United States and are employed in somefacet of engineering research and practice. It therefore seems prudent for the profession thatthese students, coming from diverse backgrounds, receive some

AtUSMA, however, all graduates receive a Bachelor of Science degree regardless of theiracademic major. With this in mind, students who choose to major in the liberal arts arerequired to take, at a minimum, a three-course engineering ‘core’ sequence from one ofthe Academy’s eight engineering programs in order to graduate.
