students with challenging behaviors in STEM [14].Conclusion In the concluding evaluation of the Contemporary STEM Issues course, students majoringin math and science education were able to embrace the concepts, strategies, and mindsets oftechnical professionals (engineers, lab scientists/mathematicians, information technologists, 8computer scientists, etc.) and apply this knowledge to integrating engineering into secondaryeducation curriculum/lesson plans. Evaluative reflections demonstrated the mind-set change thatoccurs in pre-service students when exposed to STEM training and provided some aspects toconsider for future

Thisteacher workshop was one component of a three-year NSF-funded project. The aim of the projectis to foster junior high and high school student interest, skills, knowledge, and career aspirationsin engineering through authentic engineering design activities related to building automation andIOT technologies. With this in mind, participating teachers were invited to an engineering-focused summer workshop that was designed to use the transformational and excitingtechnologies of connected devices, commonly referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT

I observed that the students were more concerned about building and launching the catapults rather than thinking about the process that allows them to build and be successful. – 4th grade Much of the rushed discussion involved teaching about the engineering design process..Many expressed a desire to “be more mindful of the process” and “putting more emphasis onwhat stage we were in.” One wished they had created a “powerpoint or some anchor chart todisplay each step” and expressed concern that the second grade students

I would definitely say [environmental and societal impacts] is on the forefront of my mind, and in the past when I have developed projects for students that has been a key motivator. We had one group that tried to make a solar powered car, so I think the societal/ environmental impacts have always been a driving but underlying force in pretty much all of the big projects that I’ve done.

The role of STEM education has evolved fromproviding students with STEM content knowledge and understanding, to preparing students to beinterested in and committed to pursuing careers in the STEM workforce.

-Scoping/Problem Framing Problem-scoping or Problem Framing, the process by which engineers iteratively define and refine the problem, is an important part of the engineering design process but also one that requires specific skills and habits of mind. Few activities, however, are structured to help students develop these skills. Here we share three activities that were specifically developed to emphasize the problem-scoping phase of the engineering design process: The Paper Airplane Contest, the Changing Leaves Problem, and the Protecting Pelican Colonies problem. In these activities, students are presented with a client who has a rich, but ill-defined realistic problem. Students then engage in a structured

In alignment with previous research(e.g., [19, 20]), our findings also show that educators being exposed to technical skills andactivities may have motivated youth to consider future technology-oriented careers. Finally,educators and administrators viewed the open-ended approach to self-directed learning andexploration of topics beyond classroom time, which is built into the curriculum as a motivator formany youths to independently search online for solutions, advanced technical topics, andresources beyond the ones included in the curriculum.

This program aimed to expose its students, those in grades 6 through12, to the field of engineering and provide them with a basic foundation of knowledge that wouldbe useful to them should they pursue a collegiate degree in engineering. Participating in thisprogram also allows students the opportunity to experience life on a university campus, gain self-confidence, refine their self-identity, collaborate with like-minded individuals, and increase theirknowledge of engineering. In order to do so, NM PREP utilized hands-on activities, field trips,opportunities for group work, and lectures that revolved around a variety of engineeringdisciplines including Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Geomatics/Survey
