The effectiveness of anintegrated STEM approach is enhanced when teachers to think outside the classroom byconsidering use of place-based resources. Consistent with the work of others, we argue thatwhen teachers become aware of the local resources and opportunities, and align thoseopportunities to the curriculum 7, they can broaden the curriculum focus and more effectivelyintegrate STEM content using the local resources as context for teaching and learning.

In addition, it quickly became apparent after data collection began that verbatim textmatches of seven words were so generic that it could not be reliably established that these wereindeed appropriated. Hence, for the purpose of this study, only text matches that were eightwords in length or longer were counted as copied. This means that theses and dissertations thatonly had copied phrases seven words or less in length were coded as having no copied strings.Finally, since this study focused on textual copying, copied figures or charts were also

While we can easily incorporate traditional paper and pencil andnumerical analysis, synthesis, and simulation in our classrooms, the remaining key aspect ofdoing the job of an engineer – experimentation – has only been included through the use ofexpensive and limited-access lab facilities. Small, low-cost Mobile Hands-On STEM (MHOS)learning platforms (e.g., myDAQ, Analog Discovery, and Circuit Gear Mini) provide almostunlimited opportunities to solve this remaining problem in engineering courses.
