addition to designing and building functional devices as endproducts, the students developed plans of work, kept records in their lab notebooks, consideredalternative designs, wrote final reports including market analysis, and presented their work invisual aided presentations. In the process, students learned to use the design software AutodeskInventor to design the cases housing the circuit boards of the solar-powered chargers and thewands encasing LED circuits. The cases were then printed out on a three-dimensional printer.They also learned to design, construct, and test electronic circuits. Moreover, students learned toprogram a microcontroller, an Arduino board, to control the LED displays. Testing andevaluating of designs as well as teamwork

study andresearch work, it is very important to select only committed and highly qualified students to forma student team. To assist in identifying these students, a pre-qualification process was developed.The student pre-qualification process begins with a job announcement. The student recruitmentprocess is similar to an actual hiring process in which a prospective student must submit aresume. A team director then reviews the resume and conducts interviews for a selection. Figure3 demonstrates the NPR process and work flow diagram. A senior graduate student leads otherstudents and plans for the reviewing process with the students. Figure 3. NPR Process Framework and Work Flow DiagramAll students in the team are expected to

Benton and Cashin4 have also found that multipleclasses provide more reliable results and average split half reliability - even for 10-14 studentsize - is as high as 0.78. The multi-section studies show that classes in which the studentsgave the instructor higher ratings tended to be the ones where the students learned more (i.e.,scored higher on the external exam)4. Based on the above, we accorded the highest score of50 % to student ratings in our award system.FactorsCentra, Braskamp and Ory4 have identified six factors commonly found in student-ratingforms: 1. course organization and planning; 2. clarity, communication

One noticeable omission at the K-2 level is the lack of any problem scoping behavior (thatdoesn’t occur until 3-5th grade level). The design process that Design Squad uses containsidentification of the problem; brainstorm; design with a cyclical build, test/evaluate and redesignprocess; and finally share the solution.7 Lastly, the Engineering is Elementary program uses acycle of ask, imagine, plan, create and improve.8 While these three design processes have bothsimilarities and differences, they all tackle the task of

This paper describes a fewof the summer camp options we have implemented and discusses the challenges, opportunitiesand lessons learned from our experiences. The idea of using summer camps to promote STEM disciplines is not new; it is typically partof a multi-prong approach to attract future science and engineering students. Other effectiverecruitment tools include outreach into K-12 schools, on-campus open house sessions, hands-onworkshops, robotic competitions and demonstration/information sessions. A review of theliterature yielded several themes related to the planning, implementation, and assessment ofsummer STEM camps
