During this event,the students work on the ECE projects and are actively engaged in relating scientifictheory to engineering design principles and practices. The direct outreach component ofthe program offers K-12 students the opportunity to participate in hands-on STEM-basedECE project activities at the institute of higher education. Through this participation, theK-12 students will improve their STEM preparation for admission to colleges anduniversities, and be motivated and encouraged to pursue degree programs in ECE and/orECE technology.The extended outreach of the “Engage K-12 students in ECE” program is plannedthrough the cyber-learning networks and will enable K-12 students in schools

Pedagogical theories suggest that the most powerfulway to become proficient at a profession is to practice it or at least approximate its practices.2Evidence from laboratory-based professional development programs suggests this is true: teacherparticipation in research experiences can augment student achievement in a variety of measures.3,4 However, one comprehensive study suggests that teachers participating in the National ScienceFoundation’s Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Program may not
