These programs provide them with important knowledge and skillsto gain a better understanding of science and engineering careers. This paper describes a STEMSummer Enrichment Program (STEM-SEP) designed for high school students. STEM-SEP’sgoal is to improve the recruitment and preparation of students, particularly those fromunderrepresented groups, through participation in a two-week summer enrichment workshop thatincreases students

science aims to more deeply connect engineering design and practice with science conceptsusing inquiry-based methods. The framework relates science to students’ everyday lives, ensuresstudents learn about being careful consumers of scientific and technological information, andprepares them with the skills to enter careers in science, engineering, andtechnology. Curriculum must harmoniously integrate the three dimensions of science learninghighlighted by NGSS: core ideas, science and engineering practices, and cross-cutting concepts.While the core ideas are similar to past standards, the emphasis on students’ understanding of theapproach and methods employed by engineers and scientists, and the demand that engineeringand technology be integrated

the NGSS is to empower all students to participate inpublic science discourse, be critical consumers of scientific information, and have the skills topursue careers in the 21st century, particularly those in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) [2]. As an increasing number of states adopt the NGSS, there is mountingpressure to prepare science educators for the impending changes in expectations, curriculum, andassessment.There are significant challenges as states transition their science standards to align with NGSS,such as insufficient professional development and support for teachers, inconsistency ofimplementation, and inadequate time and curricular resources [3]. In this recent reform effort,science teachers are likely

Engineering Integration Prior to NGSSIn order to understand how NGSS has shifted the landscape of K-12 engineering standards, wemust first look at the state of engineering standards integration prior to the NGSS. In a 2012publication, Carr, Bennett, and Strobel asked the question “To what extent is engineering presentin current STEM standards in the 50 states in the USA?” To answer this question, the authorsanalyzed science, math, technology, vocational, career and engineering content standards from2011. They found that 11 states had explicit engineering standards, and another 19 referencedexplicit engineering content from either Project Lead the Way, or the International Technologyand Engineering Educators Association. Of the remaining states, 11

However, few studies have linked these two activities to increased interest andparticipation in teaching careers related to STEM. Due to changing national standards anddemographics, the next generation of K-12 teachers will be required to integrate STEM into theirclassrooms while dealing with students of diverse backgrounds that may differ significantly fromtheir own. Of concern are the elementary or K-6 teachers who will be expected to include STEMin their lessons but do not
