, 2013 [3]) sums up the status of K-12education in the US. Several programs have been launched aimed at remedying this situation.Project-based active learning opportunities have been empirically determined to be effective in studentengagement and learning (Prince 2004 [4]; Thomas, 2000 [5]). Project-based learning environmentscan be designed to enhance teamwork, communication skills, understanding of application of STEM inreal life, and self-efficacy. Unfortunately, schools that primarily serve under-represented groups oftendo not have the resources to provide such learning environments. Simply stated, there is a longer-termneed to have more students target STEM related careers, and the best way to do this is via engaginghands-on project-based

junior years is dominated by coretechnical subjects such mechanics of materials, aerodynamics, propulsion, and controls. Ideally,these engineering science courses give students the theoretical background that they can apply inengineering design courses, on student project teams, and as a practicing engineer. However, itcan be easy to teach engineering science courses with little connection to the practice ofengineering. One way to make the connection between engineering science content andengineering practice is to frame this technical content as mathematical models that describenatural phenomena under certain simplifying assumptions. With this framing, the purpose ofengineering science courses shifts from memorizing formulas and applying them

, project-based learning are effective approaches. The‘chalk and talk’ transmittal method in the classroom is being replaced by the constructivistapproach that has some of its basis in the ‘zone of proximal development’ construct [17]. In thisapproach, students are given the opportunity to construct their own knowledge through e.g.cooperative learning opportunities. Team-based learning which promotes cooperative learningimproves student achievement by increasing student reasoning, problem-solving and criticalthinking skills, encouraging more scientific thinking, and developing a deeper understanding ofcourse content [18]-[24].

, Texas A&M University Isaac Sabat’s program of research broadly focuses on understanding and improving the working lives of stigmatized employees. He is particularly interested in examining strategies in which these employees can engage, such as disclosing or acknowledging their identities, to effectively remediate the workplace obstacles that they face. He has conducted various interrelated projects that examine how the effectiveness of expressing one’s identity is impacted by the extent to which stigmas are previously known, visible, or discovered by others over time. This is a novel area, given that disclosures have previously been conceptualized as a dichotomous, all-or-nothing phenomenon. This work has been
