Whilethe former reason is supportive of the desire to graduate more students in engineering, thelatter reason is less connected to the concept. However, the desire to use undergraduateresearch experiences to attract more students to graduate school tends to focusrecruitment on higher-achieving, more academically-successful students. These students Page 26.441.2are more likely to finish their degrees than weaker students. Therefore, usingundergraduate research projects may not be a productive way to increase the number ofengineering graduates, if the students who are engaging in

Based on Student FeedbackThe use of robots in undergraduate classrooms has seen a boom in recent years due to theuniversal appeal of robots, and the applicability of robot systems to preparing students for careerpaths in computer science, robotics and intelligent systems, and as well as for teachingfundamental engineering and programming concepts in a fresh way. At our University, a novelrobot platform was developed in 2008 as part of a funded outreach project, applicable to both K-12 outreach and university level instruction. The robot platform, named the CEENBoT, became acentral learning platform for instructing K-12 math and science teachers in a large educationalrobotics project and was simultaneously adopted into the Freshman and Sophomore

Through this NSFWIDER Program sponsored planning project, a team of faculty and administrators at AlabamaAgricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU) are implementing evidence-based instructionalpractices in foundation courses in STEM curricula. Recognizing that it is essential to implementeffective pedagogy in gateway courses where most attrition occurs, this project has conducted apilot study, which focuses on: (1) collecting baseline data about the extent to which evidence-based practices are currently being used in STEM gateway courses; (2) redesigning threefoundational gateway courses in

engineering are people problems’6 - astatement since supported by researchers and industry pundits alike. Scacchi in his review of largesoftware engineering projects found that productivity in projects that were poorly managed or poorlyorganized was significantly lower7. In effect, it can be said that poor management can effectively erasethe potential productivity improvements that can be expected from the use of improved technologies andprocesses8. Viljan, in his recent work, has linked inadequate internal communication and lack ofteamwork to a company's weak performance9. On the other hand, productive work conditions can bemaintained, if the developers are strongly committed to team effort8,10,11. While there is strong andconsiderable influence of

In the student-centered environment, learning is often facilitated throughactive learning. The faculty member should actively involve the student in the learning process(besides the functions conducted under a teacher-centered approach). The active learning occurswhen the students do more than listening during class. It is accomplished through challenging thestudents to ask and answer questions, engaging students in small-group discussions, andincorporating problem solving and projects into the course 6.Several universities have started building a student-centered

We encouraged students who are introverted to find another way to showus that they were interacting with the material and making an effort.

In this study, forty-eight teachers participated in ayear-long professional development program on STEM integration funded by National ScienceFoundation (NSF). Teachers designed twenty STEM curriculum units as a part of the project.Each STEM curriculum unit includes an engineering challenge in which students use or developtechnologies to solve the challenge and integrates grade level appropriate mathematics (dataanalysis and measurement) and one of the three science content areas: life science, physicalscience, or earth science. The study aims to evaluate the STEM curriculum units developed bythe project teachers. We also
