the NGSS is to empower all students to participate inpublic science discourse, be critical consumers of scientific information, and have the skills topursue careers in the 21st century, particularly those in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) [2]. As an increasing number of states adopt the NGSS, there is mountingpressure to prepare science educators for the impending changes in expectations, curriculum, andassessment.There are significant challenges as states transition their science standards to align with NGSS,such as insufficient professional development and support for teachers, inconsistency ofimplementation, and inadequate time and curricular resources [3]. In this recent reform effort,science teachers are likely

students see an engineering career as a viable option. Best practicessuggest that more effective efforts should be designed to (1) maintain and expand situationalinterest, and (2) integrate with individual and community values. Challenges to broadening participation in engineering are further complicated as researchindicates that factors such as outcome expectations are more important than interest alone in thecareer choices of underrepresented groups [3-6]. In particular, for Appalachian youth, pastresearch from members of our team showed that a desire for consistent local employment andaligning one’s future in accordance with family values and pressures were important factors incareer choice.

The prototypes are expectedto be well-constructed, safe, and easy to use and do what the student says it will do.

While circuit analysis may be firststudied in earnest at the freshmen or sophomore level in college within an electrical andcomputer engineering degree program, concepts related to electricity and magnetism are oftenintroduced into the curriculum much earlier. For example, many fourth-grade students in theUnited States have a module devoted to electricity and magnetism; in addition, students learnmore about related phenomena in their high school and college physics courses.

Their calculus knowledge isalso another limiting factor in terms of understating and applying these concepts. Also, center ofmass, center of gravity, moment of inertia and torque were introduced along with rigid bodyrotations and most of the time students could not able to identify that they need to treat the centerof mass under the translational motion while the whole rigid body rotates. When we start toderive the moment of inertia of a sphere through first principles of calculus, it requires studentsto follow some complex integrals which they may not have encountered in their math classes yet.3.2: Section 2- Circle
