Engineering Program, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 2 School of Materials Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907Introduction Historically, a significant portion of elementary and middle school educators’ pre-serviceeducation has been dedicated to developing students’ reading and writing skills, with some focuson mathematics and only basic coursework for teaching fundamental sciences. In recent years,many education programs have placed a heavier emphasis on math and science, and some nowoffer specializations within the bachelor’s program for teaching these subjects. However,coursework related to engineering and technology remains limited. With the introduction of the Next Generation Science

However, recently, a number of fundamental 3D printingpatents expired and opened this technology to the rest of the world.

Moreover, Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)standards stress the need for engineering graduates to have the ability to solve problems in additionto being knowledgeable of current issues. In addition, complex problem solving skills is predictedto be the most prevalent skill to thrive in the workforce in 2020 [5]. Real world problems helpstudents’ understanding to become more integrated [6, 7]. However, most instructional approacheslimit students’ ability to transfer learning by focusing on course-specific information.Active learning involves students

purpose of this paper is to recommend adapting new pedagogical methods to theaccepted topics in an introductory probability and statistics course for engineeringundergraduates—methods that better match the learning characteristics of Millennial students inour courses. In a nutshell, those characteristics may be summarized as: (1) They want relevanceto their major, and future engineering career; (2) They want rationale (for the textbook selected,and for specific course policies and assignments); (3) They revel in technology (to collect data,compute, communicate, and multi-task); (4) They want a relaxed, hands-on environment; (5)They prefer instructors who rotate among several classroom delivery methods.Considering the “Five R‟s” learning
in STEM careers is because the culture ofSTEM, especially engineering and analytical areas, is a limiting culture devoid of what femalesseems to prefer, empathy and social caring [8]-[10].However, measuring constructs such as interest is complex because of the interactive anddynamic nature of constructs with one another, that the constructs are usually self-reported, andthat few standardized measurement terms exist [11]. STEM can be considered as one contentarea or four content areas. We often ask our students to describe STEM. They usually answer bystating the letters S, T, E, and M stand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, butdo not state any concept of what “STEM” means. The term STEM is thought to originate withthe

Theplan is to continue expand the DFO mindset throughout all of engineering at the university. Partof that will be encouraging faculty to leverage the digital assets created to benefit their on-ground classes. It is also a goal to collaborate with other higher learning institutions to continueto improve the process and to better serve all student populations.References[1] J.E. Seaman and J.
