cycle. Our research question is organized by a five-step engineering designcycle (developed by Alan Cheville at Oklahoma State University). These steps are distilled fromthe ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) who judges the quality of auniversity’s degree program (key words are underlined): Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic science and mathematics and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective. Among the fundamental elements of the design process are the establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis

The theoretical background section ofthe paper discusses the construct of identity, as well as the importance of examining teacher-of-engineering identity. Next, the paper describes the context of the SySTEmic Project in which thestudy was situated. This is followed by a description of the quantitative and qualitative methodsused to study teachers’ experiences with and perspectives about

Because the students voluntarily enrolled in theclass, it is believed that a high level of interest in science and engineering already existed forthese particular students. The concept inventory and course and interest evaluations clearlyshowed that the students' knowledge of fluid mechanics and interest in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) was strengthened even further by their participation.BackgroundThe Mississippi Governor’s School (MGS) is a three-week residential summer program forrising high school juniors and seniors throughout the state of Mississippi.

It enriched education, utilized higher order thinking processes,incorporated technology and investigation, and created an environment where students worktogether to explore complex science concepts in a fun and exciting way. The teachers benefitedby having a true expert in the classroom that implemented engineering modules and exposed thestudents to experiences they would not otherwise receive.

The resulting effect of few students from these demographic groups pursuing careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields is of enormous concern to many people both inside and outside of STEM.
