, presentation, and business skills; and inspire their students, through examples of real-world applications, to pursue careers in STEM and create technology ventures.3. Assess program activities and disseminate outcomes.As elaborated below, PBL, engineering research, and entrepreneurship and industry experiencesare purposefully integrated in this PD program so that educators can link classroom teaching andlearning in STEM disciplines with real-world STEM practices.To develop a technically literate workforce, educators must not only teach STEM knowledge butalso address students’ question: “Why do I need to know this?” Engagement of industry in PD canallow teachers to inform students about job opportunities based on their own experiences.
