the second set of interviews will focus on cultural adjustments(for Moroccan participants), member-checking, and clarification. We also piloted interviewswith existing Moroccan students from older cohorts. We examined existing survey instrumentssuch as [20], [21] to develop our interview protocol. For example, using the survey in theBlumenfeld study as a guide, we are asking expectancy-value specific questions such as: “Doyou feel that you are giving up anything by choosing the engineering path?” For an affirmativeanswer, the follow-up question is: “What things could you be doing instead?” For a negativeresponse, the follow-up question is “Perhaps giving up time spent on your hobbies? Or timespent with family?”[20].ConclusionThis research
undergraduate studies, including computer science. Some 90% of thestudents in this project were Hispanic. The course was piloted over four semesters, whichallowed the instructional team to perfect the approaches that were most successful for studentsuccess. The leadership course integrated two primary approaches: 1) a relational model ofleadership used to examine complexities that arise when technology professionals encountermultiple perspectives and diverse ideas; and 2) cooperative learning approaches, includingconstructive academic controversy model, used to develop leadership skills whilecontextualizing the role of ethics in computing. The course culminated in an academiccontroversy exercise where student teams examined the Facebook /Whistleblower

The two quantitativemeasures consist of an observational protocol to measure instruction and student participation,and a survey instrument designed to measure students’ sense of community in the classroom.First, the Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduate STEM (COPUS) [9] is a protocoldesigned for use in university settings to generate

ECS courseenrollments at CPS rose significantly, from 3,165 in 2013 to 7,901 in 2017, and 15,220 in2021 6 .The growing numbers of ECS teachers, students and schools have experienced numerous benefits.A previous study found that 43% of ECS students enrolled in additional high school CS courses,compared to only 26% of students who started with alternative classes 7 . Furthermore, a post-ECSsurvey revealed a significant surge in student interest in learning more about CS, with 43%expressing being “very interested,” up from 17% before the program began 8 . Students who havecompleted CS courses, particularly ECS, also tend to earn higher grades in subsequent sciencecourses than students who have not completed CS courses 9 . A

It is a portable,inexpensive, but highly useful hardware platform, which recreated a classroom or laboratoryenvironment e.g. at home. When coupled with the Mobile Studio Desktop software, the systemduplicated a large amount of the hardware often used to teach electrical engineering, computerengineering, physics and K-12 technology-oriented courses.There was a lot of refinement of the project through pilot studies and subsequent results showedthat the use of personal electronic instruments increases the level of student engagement andmotivation [2], [3].

Student choice and student agency combined with curricularinnovation and customization resulted in over 75% of graduates pursuing minors or secondmajors, demonstrating the success of this integrated approach in supporting disciplinaryexploration while maintaining rigorous engineering preparation (Pierrakos and Kenny, 2025).Wake Forest Engineering was launched with a commitment to student-centered pedagogies andexperiential learning being a part of every engineering course. Faculty were hired with theexpectation of leveraging student-centered pedagogies to bridge theory and practice viaexperiential learning in every engineering course. This

These concerns have led to the development of new standards for scienceand technology education [4], [5], [6], policy initiatives aimed at promoting science andtechnology education [7], [8],[9], and to a growing body of research on math and sciencelearning and the pathways leading to STEM-related careers [10], [11].

It is knownthat students with a strong sense of scientific identity are more likely to persist within STEM 4 .This TA representation, in part, allows CIRCUIT fellows to build their scientific identity by seeingthemselves as scientists and engineers.

education options. The first of these options, reserved for the most academically talentedstudents, is the Gymnasium (grades 5-12). Successful completion of the Gymnasium results in adiploma and prepares students for university study or for a dual academic and vocationalcredential. Another option is the Realschule (grades 5 – 10), the completion of which leads to“part-time vocation schools and higher education vocational schools.”14 Students with highacademic achievement at the Realschule, upon graduation, can switch to a Gymnasium andcomplete the necessary studies for a diploma. A third option is the Hauptschule (grades 5 – 9)which “teaches similar subject matter as the Realschule and Gymnasium, but at a slower paceand with some vocational
