main reasons for this is to helpyoung minds develop an interest and desire to learn math and science early in their education. Inthis way, they are better positioned to consider and pursue STEM related careers after highschool. To this end, agencies such as the National Science Foundation and others havedeveloped funding programs focused on the development of methodologies and curricula thatcan support the introduction of STEM in the current K-12 educational system. As a result,public educational systems and institutions of higher learning are responding. As an example,the State of Texas has developed a set of STEM academies (T-STEM) devoted to introducingSTEM as part of the secondary curriculum and increase students’ college readiness for

- Intense Course ModulesThis paper presents two new course modules that have been developed for junior-level ChemicalEngineering core courses: Chemical Reaction Engineering and Chemical EngineeringThermodynamics II. As currently offered at Rowan University, both of these courses integratesimulation and computer lab activities in which students devise models of key physical systems,and then interrogate the models to study cause-and-effect in these physical systems. Thesecomputer labs are an integral part of both courses, but the scope (one 160-minute period) limitsthe complexity of the models that can be used, if the students are required to build the modelthemselves. In the course modules described here, students will study two physical systems

The intent of the project is to generate within students a deep understanding of IPrequirements for creating novel, nonobvious, and non-infringing designs. In addition, the ESIP-Project is designed to teach IP concepts as they relate to engineering design, as well as criticalthinking skills and innovation. More specifically, students will be prepared to engage in prior artreview, identify what is needed to obtain enforceable designs, and apply strategies to avoidinfringement of existing patents.
