American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Teacher Engineering Talk about Problem Scoping in a Middle School Engineering Design-Based STEM Integration Unit (Fundamental)Introduction There is growing interest in considering the integration of science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Many researchers agree that curriculum integrationprovides opportunities for students to learn a variety of discipline areas in real-world situations[1]–[3]. Engineering has a vital role to integrate STEM components effectively becauseengineering provides many opportunities for students including a real-world context for learningmathematics and science, and engineering design task for improving high-level

. Most scholars agree that teaching methods that incorporate practical experimentsencourage girls to be more creative with their hands and help them to better connect with thephysical sciences regardless of classroom composition [34]. Mixed-gender classroom studiesdemonstrate that boys tend to assume the more active roles, a role behaviour that is observed asearly as kindergarten [9]. When girls are left to take on the passive role of note-taker, however,they disengage from the lessons and lose both confidence and interest in STEM (science,technology, engineering and math) [35]. In the research activity, students worked in self-selectedsmall groups with varying compositions. In other words, this study may isolate the confoundingimpact of

aliasing is to conduct at least two assessments every about one fortnight.With the above observations in mind, the Online Tutorial Room (OTR) was built for the mainpurpose of increasing the frequency of genuine assessments (so as to maintain a minimum limitof about two assessments per fortnight) in order to improve the accuracy of learning evaluation,in addition to the level of learning retention, without significantly affecting the students’ or theinstructor’s time resources or the engineering institution’s financial resources.In fact, the OTR could be perceived as a platform for the application of active learning throughthe use of modern-day technology. As will be shown, the OTR is not restricted in time or inspace, and thus it offers the

Numerous nationwide reports commissioned by the federal government have calledfor increased development in student enrollment in STEM fields to improve competitiveness ona global scale [2]. As groups are concerned with increasing the number of students pursuingengineering degrees and the diversity of the students pursuing engineering, researchers haverecognized that this hinges on efforts that increase students’ STEM knowledge and awareness ofSTEM fields [3

This change, plus the ever evolving demands of engineeringin an increasingly globalized and technology dependent world, put additional responsibility onengineering programs to effectively teach students about ethics and societal impacts (ESI). ESIincludes microethics, the decisions and responsibilities of individual engineers, and macroethics,the profession’s collective responsibility in terns of societal implications of engineering andtechnology [3, 4].Despite the growing recognition of the importance of ESI education, there is little consensus onthe most effective approach.
