A closerexamination reveals that the pathways chosen by engineering students differ greatly. Xie andShauman8 have published the most comprehensive research on Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM) student pathways to date. They studied STEM pathways (andparticularly gender differences in those pathways) from early qualification and expression ofinterest in college study through pursuit of college study, persistence to graduation, pursuit of acareer, and career persistence. An early MIDFIELD model (figure 1) hypothesized some criticaltransitions in the engineering pathway, but this model was too simplistic to represent

Although the kits were different according totraining session and grade level, it is important to note that EiE workshops emphasize thatalthough the science content may change from one EiE curriculum kit to the next, thephilosophies behind understanding the nature of technology and the engineering design processare consistent across kits. Further, each EiE curriculum kit follows the same structure, whichmakes it easy for teachers to learn one kit and then translate this knowledge to another. Tomaximize shared resources, the purchased kits and refill materials were made available forcheckout at the Interlocal Cooperative so participating teachers could continue

The lack of representation in SES is the focus of this research.The purpose of this qualitative study was to give low-SES students an opportunity to share theirstories about the influences that prompted them

In contrast, this proposal concentrates heavily on the development of processes that integrate instructional (student, instructor, course, curriculum) measurements and analysis with ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)-mandated assessment and improvement. Thus, a major deliverable of the project is a transferable system with which other engineering programs could monitor their own instructional environment and develop and test their own educational innovations. 3.

His research involves engaging college students in human centered design and improving creativity.

which learning, status, and grades are negotiated.Inspired by a novel theory from Science and Technology Studies (STS), we take an actor-network view of sophomore engineering, tracing connections between human actors and non-human elements including mathematical concepts, places, objects, and resources to demonstratehow students are translated to varying degrees through sophomore mathematics courses intoactor-networks of engineering. Actor-Network Theory encourages a fresh perspective ofsophomore engineering that affords researchers a systems-level view of these critical gatewaycourses and suggests fundamental questions regarding the nature of our courses and how they gotthis way in the first place.
