studying Human and Social Dimensions of Science and Technology in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society in ASU’s College of Global Futures. She practices Socio-technical Integration Research as an embedded social scientist who collaboratively works with technologists (STEM students, STEM faculty, and Tech Com- panies) to increase reflexive learning during technology development and implementation to pro-actively consider the impact of technology decisions on local communities and society at large. This work creates spaces and processes to explore technology innovation and its consequences in an open, inclusive and timely way.Mara Lopez, Arizona State University Dr. Mara Lopez is a full-time Research

. Although both RC collaboratives are members of theNational Center for Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning network [CIRTL, 2023],only the North and East Texas collaborative utilizes online professional development resourcesto offer graduate students a professional development curriculum with emphasis on evidence-based effective teaching. In contrast, the collaborative in West Texas refined its own set ofevidence-based professional development webinars and related resources to emphasize inclusiveteaching and developed an extensive resource bank for its fellows. RC fellows in North and EastTexas have the opportunity to teach one module of a course at a community college under theguidance of their mentor. Subsequently, the fellows discuss

relationship to transdisciplinarylearning or integrated STEM education [16, 17].All of these studies combined with the need to improve students’ performance in STEM relatedfields provided a window of opportunity to develop a training program dedicated specifically toenhancing their mental abilities needed in a variety of STEM disciplines. Our Mind FitnessProgram© is a perfect example of the new convergence education concept as it transcends asingular discipline curriculum to address fundamental aspects of STEM education. It has beencreated to prepare the participants for STEM careers in general by stimulating their spatial skills,3D visualization, abstract thinking, analytical abilities, pattern recognition skills, memory,attention to detail, and

students include women as well as men. Onesignificant advantage the building and skilled trades education programs offer students isapprenticeships with local employers, which allows them to earn money and gain valuable on-the-job experience at the same time they’re getting an education. Sometimes theseapprenticeships lead to full-time positions in the company. With the foregoing in mind, the goalof this paper is to clearly define the building and technical skilled trades, focusing onarchitectural technology, automotive systems technology, computer-integrated machining,construction trades, electrical systems technology, and electronics engineering technology.Added emphasis will be placed on the role of engineering in teaching these subjects and

The Student-Led project allows students to solidifytheir programming knowledge by using MATLAB to build an engineering product of theirchoice. Systematically designed application problems and guided problems are provided tohelp students understand programming concepts at each step of learning in the Basics partand the two assigned projects in the Projects part.This proposed course is designed for 1 – 2 credit hours with a recommended minimum of 2contact hours per week to provide enough time for students to practice in class. This course issuggested to be offered as a full college-level course. However, the curriculum of

lower division courses o Highly significant predictor in 4 of 4 cohorts o With an ideal transfer environment, students would not take any lower division coursework at their 4-year institution. o Appears to be a systemic issue due to curricular that are FTFY-oriented. Curriculum redesign is underway as part of the semester conversion. • Number of upper division courses o Highly significant predictor in 3 of 4 cohorts, or significant o An unusual result. Transfers take 3-4 more upper division courses, typically, compared to FTFY. The difference is significant, although with a small to moderate effect size. Issue deserves more
