curriculum—and what this looks like as enactedby K-2 students. As the previous computational thinking definition highlights, the problemsolving strategies and skills used in computational thinking will likely share many things incommon with the STEM disciplines. Thus, even though the prior implementations PictureSTEMfocused on STEM and literacy thinking and learning, there is likely to be aspects ofcomputational thinking also present. This paper provides examples of aspects of computationalthinking (i.e., troubleshooting) that are present without a claim that these are ideal or completeintegrations of computational thinking.MethodsDescription of PictureSTEM unit(s)The PictureSTEM curriculum was developed for grades K-2, with emphasis on the use
. The rubrics can also be used for self-‐assessment as well as for professional development purposes. These rubrics are not content-‐specific, therefore they can be used with a wide range of engineering design-‐based K-‐12 STEM curricula. Providing teachers with Teaching Standards and performance rubrics can guide and improve instruction in technology education settings. 7 References Ball, D. L., Lubienski, S., & Mewborn, D. (2001).

Step Two - Summer Research ExperienceStudents were immersed in a 12-week research-intensive summer experience. The students wereprovided workspace within our departmental senior design room, which contains five partitionedworkstations and a large conference table. The bulk of student time was dedicated to pursuinghis/her research proposal, as each student worked on his/her project with their researchadvisor(s). In addition, there were a number of small group activities conducted throughout
according to theteaching procedure. The system interface is shown in Figure 2. The basic functions in mostlearning platforms were also included in the system, such as: schedule reminder, discussionforums (asynchronous), video conferencing (synchronous), assignment submission, feedbackevaluation and so on. Particularly, the project based learning which consists of five stageswas implemented in the learning system: Preparation (P) - Implementation (I) - Presentation(P) - Evaluation (E) - Revision (R), and SCAMPER teaching strategy which includes seventhinking-based dimensions: Substitute (S), Combine (C), Adapt (A), Modify (M), Put to otheruses (P), Eliminate (E) and Rearrange (R).

, interpretation is that teams who embraced the competitiveaspects of the class and made the competition their motivation ended up designing and buildingvessels that performed better. In this study, men tended to embrace that competitive componentmore than women. Teams with men might have an advantage on tasks framed as competitionsdue to team state motivation. This finding would have important implications for the design ofproject-based learning tasks.References[1] Elliot, A. J. (2005). A conceptual history of the achievement goal construct.

introduction to the project, often under the guidance ofsomeone with considerable project knowledge.Computer Science (CS) programs have recently experienced a surge in enrollments surpassingthe growth of the late 1990’s [9]. There has also been an increase in the number of non-majorstaking CS courses. Despite there being more students in CS courses, the number of womengraduating from CS programs was still only 15% in 2015 [9]. Since HFOSS projects are builtwith the intention to better the human condition, they often exemplify characteristics thatresearch has shown attracts women to computing such as helping others and working in diversegroups [2, 10]. There is some evidence that working on HFOSS projects is appealing to women[13, 14]. The 2016 Open

Year I and II Growth for P5:Before participating in the our CTE course, P5 had some experience in Making through workingwith his uncle on small everyday electronics projects like reassembling smart phones or repairingvarious electronics in their ranch. Owing to P5’s experience in electronics, he felt comfortablewith taking on the role of project manner for the first production cycle for year 2. During the firstyear, P5 was quiet and introverted, yet he demonstrated a significant interests towards thetechnology-centered elements of the production process, often partnering with P4 in theseactivities. While P5 was comfortable in technology oriented roles, when tasked to take onproduction management, he was fully engaged in the role for the

-class activities such as video lectures, text-based materials, and online exercises and quizzes, in-class activities including methods such astraditional lectures, reviews of pre-class assignments, and active learning exercises, and post-classactivities such as quizzes or other homework exercises [4]. According to a meta-study performed byKarabulut-Ilgu interest in the technique was first observed the early 2000’s and, beginning around 2011,academic interest has grown rapidly, evidenced in both conference proceedings and journal publications[5]. Several substantial meta-studies have been published in the past few years attempting to distill theresults of this near decade of study [4-6]. While a distillation of relevant aspects of these studies
can vary by regions because of their proximity togeographic locations close to AI sectors (e.g. Pittsburgh or Silicon Valley) that have a highimpact on the communities/culture. Therefore, there is a necessity to expand this study with alarger population of participants from various ethnic backgrounds, professions and regions.AcknowledgmentThis research is funded by the National Science Foundation NSF DUE #1941782.

Fromthe plots, we are interested in variables that have a smaller within-cluster distance than thebetween-cluster distance and the confidence interval bar does not overlap as this indicateswell-defined subgroup characteristics. In Clusters 1, 3, and 4, one of the variables that do nothave an overlapping confidence interval bar is the concern of ideas being heard by others(BeingHeard). This variable has a mean distance of 0, suggesting that all students in the clusterdo not think that this variable is a concern.

Sigma's ability to enhance efficiencyand quality is a sought-after skill, making students invaluable assets in organizations striving foroperational excellence.2.3 Module 2: Mastering Statistical Control (Day 5-6)Students are guided through control charting for variables for individual measurements (I-MRand X-bar R chart) and for the distribution of measurements (X-bar S chart). These activitiesmirror the real-life practice of monitoring production processes to ensure consistency and detectanomalies. The practicality of constructing control charts for variables, reinforced with hands-onactivities, deepens understanding and equips students to drive quality improvements in amanufacturing environment.2.4 Module 4: Exploring Quality Tools (Day 7
