Broadening participation and promoting diversity in STEM education is key to createfuture inventions [4,5]. It has been observed in the last couple of decades that there is a gradualdecrease in the Bachelor of Science graduates from US institutions in the STEM fields [2-5].Many findings and studies confirm that our nation is in urgent need of improvement in STEMeducation and strategies to correct the current situation [1-6].This is a work in progress to help our nation create a diverse pipeline of STEM majors to befuture scientists and engineers.

Technology The University of the Basque Country Abstract Computer engineers increasingly depend on the use of software tools to evaluate and inves- tigate the design of computer systems. It is therefore very important that educators in this eld promote extensive tool-based experimentation by students. However, the integration of today's complex tools into curricula poses several challenges to instructors. To deploy a tool-based class experiment, they must 1 obtain access to hardware resources that meet the requirements of the tool, and obtain access to student accounts on these resources; 2 install and maintain the tool software and

One method of real-time access that was researched andexplored was videoconferencing; videoconferencing “is the transmission ofimages (video) and (audio) back and forth between two or more physicallyseparate locations” (International Trade Data Network, 1999). Therefore, NASALIVE (Learning thorugh Interactive Videoconferencing Experiences) represents anew dimension in communicating knowledge and
the present study is to naturally integrate progressive learningexperiences in science and technology throughout curricula in disciplines other thanscience. Our intent in fostering student-centered designs of science activities in otherdisciplines is that lay science students understand and develop the same criticalobservational skills expected of science, engineering and technology students.An example in an art curriculum is a course on visual studies foundations, whichintroduces the elements and principles of organization that constitutes a pictoriallanguage common to all the visual arts. In this art course, students investigate andunderstand how visual language is used to communicate thought, feeling, and

Time and again, our studentstell us that they like this commitment to hands-on learning. It is in “lab” that the students cometo a better understanding of the technical material. It is through laboratory exercises thatstudents develop their writing skills by writing laboratory reports. It is through laboratoryexercises and project that students practice troubleshooting and design. It is there that they learnto work in groups to solve technical problems. It is also in lab where students can seize thecomplexity of a problem

strengths of developingprograms that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and analyticalreasoning skills using strategies like the engineering design process (EDP) [1],[2]. By engaging in these programs, students learn to apply conceptualknowledge from science and related subjects, including engineering, to solveopen-ended and ill-defined problems creatively [3], [4]. These skills can alsoprepare autistic students to succeed in real-world contexts [5]. We createdengineering maker clubs in public schools across New York City to provideinclusive spaces for elementary, middle, and high school students. We aimedto enhance co-designing and develop technological knowledge andengineering skills in autistic and non-autistic students. These clubs are
communication and information technology are reshaping our society inunparalleled ways. With the ever frequent reengineering and restructuring of corporate America,engineers are often working in disciplines that transcend their formal education. For example,many engineering graduates follow diverse career paths in medicine, financial engineering,management, public policy, and other fields that require a systems-oriented analysis andsynthesis ability. In addition, the highly complex and multidisciplinary nature of modernengineering systems demand synergies between various engineering and science disciplines anda strong synthesizing approach. These dynamics point to the acute need for training engineeringstudents in a multidisciplinary, cooperative
philosophy whichfocuses on building students’ learning skills” (in all domains) and developing “self-growers.”(1)A “self-grower” is an individual that develops the ability to learn beyond the presented materialand actively seek a higher level of understanding.(1) The graphics faculty at Penn State Erie hasadopted this philosophy for all graphics classes, and has begun applying process educationtechniques in 1st, 2nd, and 5th semester engineering technology graphic courses. This paper willdetail the implementation of these techniques and discuss the outcomes and effectiveness of thisteaching approach. For example, to encourage reading, open notebook quizzes were given foreach reading assignment. This method reinforces the study and cognitive skills
