Figure 3. Subjects TaughtSTEM Educators Highest Degree. As noted earlier, there is some impact on teaching given thelevel and type of educator each STEM Educator possesses. It is also important to consider aneducators highest degree, when they finished that degree, and how many started in a four-yearcollege as opposed to a two-year college. Figure 4 shows the highest degree by number for therespondents to this survey. 60.00 Percent 40.00 20.00 0.00 Master of Associates Bachelors MBA Ed.D. Ph.D. Other

. In 2012, I joined the Physics program of Stuttgart University joint with Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research and earned my master degree in Ger- many. My master researched was based on the fabrication and characterization of magnetic metamaterials useful for building up quantum computer devices. I moved to the US in 2016 to study my PhD in electri- cal engineering. My current research is focused on optoelectronics, fabrication and dynamic analysis of micro-scale light-actuator made of Liquid Crystal Elastomers.

Our work addresses the need for these two elements in our students’ writingexperience by considering writing instruction within the ME curriculum as well as in generaleducation writing courses. We address portability first by mapping writing and other forms ofTC across the curriculum and then identifying ways to intentionally scaffold TC experiences sothat students must transfer knowledge from one course to another.As we considered how to scaffold students’ TC experiences, we recognized the need to definethe milestones or threshold concepts that students must master in order to be effectivecommunicators in a professional engineering environment. Threshold concepts represent theknowledge necessary to participate in a disciplinary

What is worthwhile for the students to know? What are the “big ideas” underlying the topic? Stage 2: Determine Acceptable Evidence The educator determines what constitutes acceptable evidence for indicating those results have been achieved. In this approach the assessment is planned before the classroom instruction is planned. Stage 3: Plan Learning Experiences and Instruction The educator now plans the learning experiences and instruction to meet the goals.It is sometimes referred to as “backward design” because it
