learning scientists in twouniversities has been working on a collaborative grant project funded by the Department ofEducation for the purpose to enhance the student diversity in STEM fields. In this project, weaimed at (1) contextualizing the student learning experience in STEM fields, and (2)implementing an integrated STEM education approach to teach the skills and knowledge that arenecessary to be competent in engineering and technology careers in 21st century. The researchobjective of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of evidence-based instructionalstrategies and the integration of the maker culture on students’ problem solving and life-longlearning skills. Specifically, we introduce evidence based pedagogy together with

Both internal andexternal evaluations of the learning outcomes are ongoing and assessment results are presented.1. IntroductionThe U.S. manufacturing sector is important for the nation’s economy and workforce. It is soenormous that if it were a country by its own, it would rank as the tenth largest world economy[1]. Since the industrial revolution, U.S. manufacturing has contributed to higher exportpotential, better standards of living, and more jobs. Furthermore, manufacturing has a strongmultiplier effect on the broader economy. Every dollar spent in manufacturing adds

However, our emphasis on design is focused to obtain early engineeringprinciples such as hands-on understanding of force, energy and motion. We believe that thesethree principles are one of the most significant topics to cover at an early stage, as instruction inthese areas can lay the foreground to higher levels of Mechanical Engineering concepts such asstress, strain, tension, torsion, and more - all of which are implemented in the upper-level designcourses at NMT.Course Structure RedesignThe introduction to Mechanical Engineering course was

However, few studies have linked these two activities to increased interest andparticipation in teaching careers related to STEM. Due to changing national standards anddemographics, the next generation of K-12 teachers will be required to integrate STEM into theirclassrooms while dealing with students of diverse backgrounds that may differ significantly fromtheir own.
