He also has assisted both the campus as well as the local community in developing technology programs that highlight student skills development in ways that engage and attract individuals towards STEAM and STEM fields by showcasing how those skills impact the current project in real-world ways that people can understand and be involved in. As part of a university that is focused on supporting the 21st century student demographic he continues to innovate and research on how we can design new methods of learning to educate both our students and communities on how STEM and STEAM make up a large part of that

Building upon previous cooperation among these institutions, Best Practicemethods have been identified and are being implemented to bring about a cultural change thatwill lead to a sustained increase in the production of STEM-trained graduates needed by localhigh-tech businesses. In order to expand the diameter of the STEM pipeline, new non-traditionalstudent populations must be recruited, encouraged and not traditionally “weeded-out.” Ourresearch and Best Practices center on two specific populations: females and non-top 15%students that
