The researchers categorized four themes of teacher noticing and three themes ofhypothesized responses. The results suggested that while these teachers were new to engineering,they still exhibited productive beginnings of responsive teaching in engineering.

Humans createtechnological objects for a specific range of purposes, but the actual use of the technology issubject to the intentions of the user.”5 A serious debate crystallized after the explosion of theatomic bomb, an action that psychologically leveled Manhattan Project civilian director J.

To maintain its position as atechnological leader, the United States must not only continue to produce high-quality STEMfield graduates but accelerate this production. The priority of this effort is revealed by PresidentBarack Obama’s push to produce an additional one million STEM graduates within a decade andan additional 100,000 new teachers in these fields (Feder, 2012). The sheer number of graduatesrequired to fill the projected jobs in STEM fields will require both increasing the number ofstudents entering these fields but also reducing the rate that college students exit these fields.One of the keys to increasing the number of STEM professionals is to understand why studentswho start STEM

For example, ASEE was involvedin a virtual community-of-practice project that was designed to help support faculty members inthe implementation of active learning principles within their classes (Pimmel et al., 2013).Through this project, two types of virtual communities of practice were developed: (1) thosefocused on a particular course content and (2) those that were disciplinary in nature.

The RTOP was designed to quantitatively measure the extent to which classroom instructional practicesalign with reform principles.

Therefore, EECS students were required to utilize lab space within theEngineering Technology Department that is additionally used for other courses in thatdepartment. Students felt the lab space was inadequate to accommodate all the purposesassigned to it.
