The activities were group-specificadjusted to the various levels. They included elements from the Boston Museum of Science, CarnegieMellon and Tufts LEGO NXT curricula, LEGO Education, and ideas from accepted best-practices in K-12 engineering and technology education curricula.

experiences for first year studentsa. By 1982, over 175 educators acrossthe country came together to discuss first-year seminars, and the following year the AnnualConference on the Freshman Year Experience was born. Today, an effective first-yearexperience has been identified as a high impact educational practice by the Association ofAmerican Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). Although these experiences differ significantlyfrom university to university, ranging anywhere from a single course specifically taken in themajor itself, through more involved practices including live-learn communities, Kuh emphasizesthe most influential points of a first-year experience include a “strong emphasis on criticalinquiry, frequent writing, information literacy

include since conversations to redefine what constitutes diversity in engineering continue to grow14. The impact of social class, which includes socioeconomic status, on students’ experiences in engineering is a developing body of work. For many reasons, more students from all backgrounds are attending community college and not primarily those from traditionally underrepresented groups, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds or students with average merit. Although enrollment, retention and graduation data are often used as metrics of success, it is imperative to gain an understanding beyond the numbers. Such investigation will lay the

“Technology Literacy: How StuffWorks.”14 An example of the impact of these types of courses is that pre-service elementaryteachers lowered anxiety, increased perceived value, and increased motivation for science andtechnology.Union College has directly addressed the perceived (or actual) gap between engineering and theliberal arts and have proposed a Converging Technology paradigm to address this gap.15 Theyask the two important questions about this discontinuity. “Can we continue to produce liberalarts graduates who have little understanding of the technical world in which they live? Can weafford to produce engineers with little understanding of implications of those technologies forthe world?” They offer the following definition of technological

Since research suggests that studentconceptual development is enhanced through employment of engaging classroom practices, avariety of active pedagogies are being implemented in engineering education. Consequently,there is a need for assessment tools to monitor the learning outcomes of these educationalinterventions.

A pre-test and apost-test research design were implemented to assess the amount of information acquired by theworkshops’ participants.

This research project involves development of a fullycustomizable, user-defined hardware-software suite for automated signal routing with an openended functionality profile. This intelligent switching system can be customized and employed inany industry where there is a need for programmable, timed, and/or simultaneous routing ofanalog or digital signals between devices. Potential applications of these automated switchingsystems include, but are not limited to: demarcation points, test floors, redundant backupsystems, remote maintenance, etc. This

“and that's why we’re emphasizing math and science. That's why we’re emphasizingteaching girls math and science.” This was followed by the White House creation of theSTEM Master Teacher Corp as a new initiative in July 2012. However, it is still not wellunderstood exactly what factors affect persistence in undergraduate STEM majors andwhere the focus should be placed in order to improve persistence. There is a need forfurther research to help shape policies directed at improving the participation of womenin STEM undergraduate studies.NSF-20122 data for the 2009 high school graduating class showed that women are nowwell represented in advanced math and science high school courses.

communicate the essence of engineering to high school (and perhapsmiddle school) students and encourage them in these pathways. The Office of K-12 Outreach inthe College of Engineering at OSU frequently gets requests for engineering faculty to speak toK-12 groups and at STEM engagements on engineering careers. However, while valuable,faculty perspectives tend to be representative of experiences in, and of academia, which is asmall sector of practicing engineers. In addition, because of the requirement of advanceddegrees to be a university professor, most engineering faculty are considerably removed in agefrom K-12 students. For these reasons, faculty are, at best, incomplete engineering careerambassadors.Central to career ambassadorship is
