are unaware ofthe benefits of integrated STEM learning, which involves learning STEM content while alsoaddressing authentic problems. One particularly effective strategy for employing integratedSTEM learning is through Project-Base Learning (PBL), in which students gain real worldexperience in designing and leading their own STEM-focused projects.PBL is a pedagogical teaching approach that places students at the center of learning. The role ofthe teacher is to help facilitate learning by guiding students to essential understandings. Duringeffective PBL experiences, teachers set up rules and parameters that encourage students tocomplete a project within a specified time frame by working cooperatively with peers [2].Students are provided ample

- on projects. However, this newteaching tool is also well suited for use in other classrooms, such as introductory engineeringcourses. One issue within these courses is they lack an engaging biomedical engineering projectwhich is suitable for all the students. NeuroBytes are relatively easy to use and require little priorknowledge. This technology bridges the gap between technology and biology orneurophysiology in order to show students the basic principles of biomedical engineering. A totalof 15 students and two teachers in a dual credit engineering course, offered by the University ofArizona, participated in this evaluation of NeuroBytes. Teachers first completed a pre- labsurvey and then a post-lab survey to determine if there was a need

Results showed that EPICS High students who identified asHispanic/Latino were more likely to express an interest in studying engineering than EPICSHigh students not identifying as such. Students who identified as Hispanic/Latino whoparticipated in an EPICS high service learning project also showed a stronger interest in studyingengineering in college than students of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity in an ENGR 102HS coursewithout the service learning portion.

Block play and building structures likebridges and ramps, a natural beginning to engineering thinking as children construct, test thelimits of, revise, and rebuild their structures, was a common occurrence in this preschool. Forteachers who are beginning to learn about and implement the engineering design process (EDP),long-term projects that bring children though a full design process is ideal so the EDP is notovershadowed by children excited with short-term, hands-on activities. As such, the researchquestion guiding this study was: How does preschool teachers’ knowledge of and confidencewith teaching the EDP evolve over the course of a long-term engineering project?

The program commenced by encouraging students toutilize these newly-learned skills and tools in a collaborative final project, combining what theylearned from each of the prior sessions. Participants consisted of a diverse group of 7th-12thgrade girls who expressed an interest in exploring the STEAM fields and/or in furthering theirknowledge and confidence in computer programming. Major areas of this program includedcircuitry, coding, the combination of music and technology, and collaborative challenges. Theoverall goals

The main objective of the project was to develop curriculum that couldsupport the adoption of the NGSS Standards in the state of Nevada while providing students withan integrated learning experience that could promote achievement among diverse learners. Thelong-term goals of the project were to pilot, revise, and expand upon the curriculum for othergrade levels.

I have been introducing pre-college students (primarily late elementary and middle school students) to engineering for a number of years now and find that engineering design works well as the content and context for these students. I have attempted all sorts of design projects ranging from well-structured, LEGO-based design challenges to open-ended, ill-structured design challenges using craft or found materials. As the idea of Makerspaces became more popular, I liked the idea that students could
