Key to this process is current teachers, and evenmore critical, future teachers (pre-service). This work is particularly interested in the engineeringtraining of pre-service teachers during their engagement with middle school students, theirunderstanding of their role in strengthening the engineering pipeline, and their development ofSTEM lesson plans. Engineering faculty instruct pre-service teachers to explore STEM issues ina capstone course entitled “Contemporary STEM Issues”. Successes and challenges of the courseare presented relative to 1) pre-service teachers’ preparation (through a capstone course) toeffectively
sanitation crisisAbstract:According to the WHO, 2.5 billion people lack access to proper sanitation resources.1 Integral tothis alarming statistic is the absence of sanitation technology. Current engineering initiativeshave responded to this challenge with toilet fairs and competitions showcasing cutting-edgetechnologies in the sanitation sector. That is, engineers have often approached this sanitationcrisis as well as other world problems from a technocentric perspective―the philosophy thatconsiders technology as capable of solving human problems.2 Technocentrism speaks to thecurrent outlook of engineering education. We as engineering students are trained to design andbuild technical solutions for world problems. Furthermore, this focus within

ENG 3 was piloted in collaborationwith the UCD Student Farm named “Physical Computing Design Solutions for Farmers.” Thedesign project fulfilled key objectives of the course, namely to introduce the engineering designprocess and to provide a meaningful experience for students to develop their oral and technicalcommunication skills. All students were provided digital technology kits for use in the projectand instruction in order to create a more level-playing field for those who lacked priorexperience. Through the project, students worked in collaborative teams to address an authenticopen-ended on-campus challenge with broader real-world implications.

The results indicated that, consistent with our predictions, theintervention exhibited a positive impact on students that began the study with the lowest iSTEMscores. Furthermore, the classroom environment mattered. While no individual scores (i.e.,posttest iSTEM scores) were predictive of participation in the poster symposium, the collectivescores were (i.e., mean classroom iSTEM scores).IntroductionMany science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) concepts, especially thoselearned in the critical formative years of pre-collegiate education are abstract in nature, oftentaught in vertically articulated course offerings that are frequently unconnected horizontally withother STEM

It is crucial for girls who aspire to STEM careers to have access to learning environments that engage them in scientific and mathematical practices and that support a growth mindset. Including an art component with the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM) engages students in authentic problemsolving through creative design experiences [3].
