14.998.3Elementary school teachers were reported by their administrators to be most comfortablewith the life sciences and least with the physical sciences and largely ignorant ofengineers and engineering design.Moreover, at both the elementary school and middle school levels, there was perceived tobe a lack of awareness of STEM fields and careers and their importance.Following that meeting, an e-mail was sent to the Northeast Network partners askingthem to bring a list of "best practices" STEM programs for students in upper elementaryand middle schools to the next meeting of the Advisory Council. At this next meeting, theAdvisory Council members decided to concentrate on in-school programs for theelementary school students, as opposed to after school

As the background and positionality of the instructor is critical tounderstanding the risks and rewards associated with these courses, this section briefly describeseach of the instructors who have taught or are currently teaching the course.J.

project from last year.This speaks to the long-term nature of HSE projects. Such project longevity is a key factor intruly engaging students in real-world STEM applications and it carries the inherent benefit ofproviding the time needed for students to fact find and to establish a deep research approach tothe project, two aspects of problem solving that have been described as “vital stages in thecreative process.”6 Long-term efforts on a continuing project also offer the opportunity forstudents to fail, often, in their design attempts to solve STEM problems and to try anew, again,learning with each attempt. Frequent failure has been strongly linked to creativity andinnovativeness in the workplace and, ultimately, to very successful people.7

more pressing in countries like the DR where most of its young population is from marginal communities. Young people are the country’s most valuable resource. It will be difficult for the DR to emerge as an innovative player in the global economy without developing this wealth.In addition to resources and cost, lack of prior experiences in the country with programs likeMACILE has made the program design more challenging. Another limitation has been the lackof studies dealing specifically with the conditions of education in Ytabo or the socio-economiccharacteristics of the communities. Research works dealing with education in the DR have beenvery general. A study phase was necessary, as a result. This phase helped develop
the homework worksheet to class, and engage in short, 1:1meetings with classmates (approximately 8 minutes per pair) during which time they explaintheir paper to their partner, with the opportunity to collaboratively work out any questions theyhave about the data or the research. This enables non-STE students to harness the expertise ofthe STE majors, while those with stronger techno-scientific backgrounds are challenged toexplain their papers in layperson’s terms to a non-major audience. Students exchange pairsapproximately 5 times, and then the class is surveyed for superlatives- “the most importantfinding,” “the most unexpected application,” “the application likely to impact the most people,”etc. In practice, this generates an extremely

The course also includes a laboratory component. Studentscomplete 12 laboratory experiments over the course of one semester. Course topics typicallyinclude kinematics, Newton’s Laws, conservation of momentum and energy, rotational motion,and fluid mechanics. As such, numerous strategies, including the writing strategies to bedescribed, have been developed that center around the accommodation of students’ diverselearning styles [20 – 26]. Students that enroll in PMW most often do so to satisfy the university’s sciencerequirement for graduation. The students
prevent most faculty from using them. For example, trying new educationalinnovations and updating courses while balancing an active research lab is a difficult endeavorfor faculty. Knowledge and familiarity with engineering education best practices is anothermajor barrier and it impacts young and established faculty in different ways. Most new educatorslearn to teach effectively through trial and error and have little or no formal training in bestpractices of education [3]. Studies in the U.S. show that for 95% of new faculty members ittakes four to five years of trial and error to become fully productive in research and effective inteaching [6].

while these communities presentample opportunities for outside investors to be entrepreneurial, just as important is buildingcapacity among local community members to be intrapreneurial. Intrapreneurship is a means toidentify and leverage the internal resources of an established business or community [14, 15].The limited research on intrapreneurship reported that intrapreneurial manufacturing industryfirms outperformed firms with lower internal involvement [16, 17]. and that the level ofintrapreneurship is observable and measurable [18]. However, the extent to which advancedmanufacturing curricula impart competencies that prepare new graduates to not only performworkplace skills but also innovate and create opportunities is undocumented.The

An 80% design is wrong in industry, so accepting that as a final product sets adangerous precedent for the student.2.4 Assessment by Benchmark Events A danger in teaching is the introduction of new requirements that have negligible effects.The desire to innovate is, in itself, admirable.

Thefeedback is typically used to justify further changes and ascertain how well they may accept theintervention for broader implementation. At the University of New Haven, 18 e-learning modules weredeveloped and integrated into courses spanning the 4-year engineering and computerscience majors' curricula. The modules centered on topics seen to contribute to the development ofstudents’ entrepreneurial mindset. We saw this as a way to assist faculty in leveraging
