- tudes and beliefs teachers hold about cultural diversity and teaching culturally diverse students. Past and current projects include designing and teaching undergraduate and graduate-level coursework intended to help teachers develop effective science teaching practices and culturally relevant pedagogy for their classrooms, mentoring pre-service science teachers, working with in-service science teachers to develop and implement integrated STEM curricula, leading STEM integration professional development for in- service science teachers, working with administration and teachers to develop STEM programming in their schools, and developing a K-12 STEM observation protocol that can be used in a variety of educa- tional
courses.Learning reflection was also included as a learning best practice and provided qualitative insightinto shifting student motivation throughout the semester. The data results provide interesting andunexpected insights on struggle, motivation, connectedness, autonomy, and competence.Additional outcomes of this study included micro-learning theory lessons and learning feedbacktools.Why Devote Instruction Time to Developing an Ability to Learn?Imagine a civil engineering undergraduate assignment where a student was expected to applyengineering design practices to design a structure, communicate with a range of audiences, andfunction effectively on a team. But this student was never given the opportunity to develop andpractice fundamental engineering

In general, CU students concluded that theinternational collaboration project was novel, valuable and it was a good learning experience,though they acknowledged that the project was more complicated than initially expected andrequired an intentional effort to learn from a different culture, different practices and evensignificant communication challenges. Other students highlighted the specific aspects of themanufacturing process learned on each step of the project, mentioning specifically glassmanufacturing, blow process and bottle design.

However, Lino Camprub´ı [2] contends that they “could hardly be calledpolitically neutral technocrats,” pointing to examples of highly regarded scientists and engineerswho were supportive of the surveillance, control, and “purifying” of science. Similarly, JoanneTuck [3] notes that many German engineers struggled after a massive job shortage induced by theGreat Depression at the end of the Weimar Republic. They competed for whatever business theycould find, including in the design and construction of the technologies that enabled ethniccleansing by genocide– and they did so knowingly. As Eric Katz [4

All topics and techniques normally taught in the CADDesign I course were covered in the trial distance learning course. The student workbookscollected at the end of the semester were comparable in content and quality to the local studentgroup as was performance on the final exam. Comparison of the remote student work topreviously taught CAD Design I courses were equally favorable. There was no discernable Page 11.43.7difference between the trial group
