underrepresented group’s peaked-in percentage terms-in 1999-2000 (11.6%), and have drifted downward ever since, reports the NationalAction Council for Minorities in Engineering, Inc. (NACME). Currently, AfricanAmerican, Latino and American Indian only make up 11.3% of the engineeringundergraduate degrees. These same race/ethnic groups are projected to make up 33.9%of the U.S. population graduating from high school in 2014. Engineering degreesawarded to women have followed a similar trajectory-growth through the 1990’s with apercentage peak in 2000 at 20.6% of the total. In 2003, women represented 20.1% of thebaccalaureates awarded in engineering (Society of Women Engineers).Our university is seeking to help underrepresented students overcome the barriers

Examples of this can be seen in theconceptual frameworks presented below. Student 1’s perception of the stages of designbecame much more balanced in the post task model, with the student placing emphasis on allstages of design and a more equal importance placed on each stage. Comparatively, student12 placed less emphasis on some stages of the design task. Post Post Figure 2: Samples of students’ pre and post models

described in the work of Supovitz and Turner.12 Their study provides asummary of six critical components of science professional development that have beenidentified by researchers and educators over the 1990’s. First, high-quality professionaldevelopment immerses participants in inquiry, questioning and experimentation -- andtherefore, in modeled inquiry forms of teaching. Second, professional development wasintensive and sustained. Third, professional development engaged the teachers in concreteteaching tasks based upon teachers’ experiences with students. Fourth, professionaldevelopment deepened teachers’ content skills, both in subject matter knowledge and in howstudents learn a particular subject matter. Fifth, high quality professional

,they were asked which of the big ideas of nano their lesson addressed. For the most part, theystated the big ideas listed in the lesson provided by the NCLT (although some identified differentbig ideas), but teachers integrated the big ideas into their learning goals, instruction, andassessment to varying degrees. This is of concern to the professional development programbecause we are interested in teachers integrating high-impact topics in nanoengineering andscience that emphasize nanoscale phenomena, rather than teachers using nanoscale phenomenaas an interesting example without any real focus on the nanoscale concepts involved. Theguiding questions for determining which nano content teachers planned to implement were: 1. Which big idea(s
