Laboratory Building, Ames, Iowa 50011, USA *E-mail address: adah@iastate.eduABSTRACT Symbi, Iowa’s NSF GK12 program, is a partnership between Iowa State University and the DesMoines public school system in an effort to develop innovative and engaging STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering and Math) activities for middle school students. STEM graduate students areselected to serve as resident scientists or engineers and spend one full day each week throughout theacademic school year in a middle school science classroom. These GK12 Fellows engage the students byproviding inquiry-based learning experiences and authentic demonstrations, which bring relevance byrelating the science curriculum to real world challenges.

test. Additional testing with more students in other settings will be needed to verifythe reliability of the Crystal Spatial Visualization Survey. As such, it is a preliminary instrumentthat has good potential as a crystal structure pretest for being a quick and reliable method to teststudents baseline ability of visualizing 2-D projections as well as a post-test to measure theeffectiveness of instruction on understanding and visualization ability of students for crystalstructures. Issues about student understanding and instruction are discussed in the paper.IntroductionOver the past two decades new approaches for more effective teaching and learning in STEM(science, technology, engineering, and math) have been developed.

CourseAbstractSustainability issues were introduced into an undergraduate corrosion course by means of specialassignments and case studies. There are actually two courses; an undergraduate course calledCorrosion Engineering, ME 349 and a graduate course called Corrosion, ME 387Q and they aretaught together. In addition to the traditional types of assignments that focus on forms ofcorrosion and methods of testing for and mitigating corrosion, the course was redesigned to bringsustainability issues to the forefront; specifically with respect to undergraduate education.Much attention was paid to topics in the news and in recent journal articles and a special sectionwas added on corrosion issues associated with clean energy technologies. . Two case studieswere also
