Geoff Knowles, PhD, Bryan College Jung Han, PhD, Purdue University Todd Kelley, PhD, Purdue University Abstract TRAILS is an integrated STEM education program designed to partnersecondary teachers in engineering technology education with science teachers toimplement integrated STEM curriculum. This year, an NSF scale-up grant wasfunded to continue research and implementation of the TRAILS project, TRAILS2.0. The continuation of this work is now expanded to include a collaboration ofpartners. The TRAILS 2.0 project will address the needs of diverse populationsin rural school settings.

Capobianco et al.’s [23] andFralick et al.’s [22] studies. In that time, there has been significant growth in the profile of engineering inpre-college education, which may have resulted in these participants having more exposure to diverseengineers than the participants had in previous studies. For example, the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS) were released in 2013 [6]. These standards seek to integrate engineering into thescience curriculum across grade levels. While not all states adopted NGSS, by 2018, 70% of states hadeither adopted NGSS itself or developed state-specific standards based upon NGSS, including Ohio,where this study occurred [39].

During this challenge, I used the equation provided in the curriculum and had the students work to figure out and debate which variables were most important. This process was very inclusive because it allowed for everyone to express their opinion and how to improve the design.” • “I had my students research water
