Student Perspective of Pedagogies of Engagement Ali Self B.S, Hannah Johnson, Molly McVey Ph.D., and Caroline Bennett Ph.D., PE The University of KansasAbstractPedagogies of engagement have become increasingly prevalent in the teaching of Science,Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) courses. Research shows that students retain andabsorb knowledge more proficiently when they are actively engaged. Most studies focus onquantitative results to support their claim. The University of Kansas School of Engineeringrecently added new facilities which encourage and promote an active learning environment.Having been in place for two years, there was a unique

nextsteps.Supporting LiteratureWith the evolution to a polytechnic campus and the move toward a school of integrated studies,the study abroad faculty team made a conscious decision to integrate the arts into the existingSTEM philosophy prevalent within the college to work toward a STEAM (Science, Technology,Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) philosophy. Adding the arts to the existing STEM modelencourages creativity, innovation, self-expression, and personal connection in student learning.Melding technology with creative thinking helps create a well-rounded individual resulting ininnovative ideas to drive progress (Land 2013). The goal of a liberal arts education is to preparestudents to become functioning members of society supporting the progression of
