However, they may notprovide students an opportunity to experience the university setting or exposure to the breadthand variety of engineering projects.4 Various universities instead may provide summer camps asa means to introduce students to STEM disciplines and create a

His research on students’ reasoning showed that they may invent effective strategies and representations for solving math problems, and these methods can serve as bridges for instruction. He is also exploring the embodied nature of students’ knowledge, as exhibited by gestures, and the mediating effects of action on conceptual knowledge. His studies of teachers' beliefs about the development of students' mathematical reasoning showed that content experts can show evidence of expert blind spot, which influences teachers’ expectations of what makes things difficult for their students.

The objectives of this project range fromeliminating existing boundaries of engineering education to increasing the anticipation of successamongst the physically impaired. A prior breakthrough in the extension of engineering educationbeyond assumed “limits” was achieved when a young man who was both sight and hearing impairedearned a bachelors degree with honors from the Electrical Engineering department at TempleUniversity. Since then, several outreach programs have been run to increase engineering awarenessin the community, and this project was carried out with the same perspective in mind.
