exposing allstudents (not merely those who self-select to take elective courses) to hands-on design and problem-solving and the application of science and mathematics principles toward the solution of relevant, real-world problems in the context of required K-12 courses, we expect that more students will be motivatedto enroll and succeed in gatekeeper courses in middle and high school and pursue engineering and otherSTEM careers.Inspired, in part, by Massachusetts’s leadership as the first state to introduce science and engineeringstandards1, program developers of Engineering Our Future NJ planned a two-phase campaign designed tostrengthen the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards2 to: (1) articulate engineering in thelanguage of the

The case study in this innovative teaching approach, isintended not only to facilitate stated course objectives, but to encourage students to studyother cultures on their own, where they may plan to travel, or have already visited, to seewhat role technology has played. In so doing, they may find nuanced instances of thedigital divide worldwide, and issues that may either realistically complicate or

Additionally, we will collect demographic information and ensure that eachparticipant is actually a first generation women in a Computing graduate degree program.

To start theproject, the students will perform a literature review as well as a patent search to discover andunderstand current technologies and materials that can be used for water purification.

His collection of information in the course was categorized insix main areas of observation, participation, managing, self-analysis of work effort, outside workactivities and a professional development plan. Adcox [3] developed a system where thespecified tasks and artifacts could be measured to gain an understanding on constructionconcepts that were acquired by the students in an applied construction management setting usingthe internship as the course.

These findings illustrate a systemic conflict for STEM postdoctoralscholar women. They describe a necessity to sacrifice family desires, yet positive modeling andsupport for balancing career and family send messages suggesting it is possible to plan for both.This research

We believe this is largely due tolightened pandemic-related restrictions in the summer of 2021 (as compared to the summer of2020); since students had the freedom to pursue most “normal” activities in the summer of 2021,some participants tried to treat the program as fully asynchronous, which is not how it wasintended to be experienced. As a proposed remedy to this issue, we plan to condense the programinto a one-week experience that instead lasts four hours a day, and we are also developing newideas for ways to facilitate student-student interaction more successfully.IntroductionThe purpose of this paper is to describe the design and

[1], some teaching activities in the online environmenthave “the potentials to cultivate deeper learning experiences, but they can fail to do so ifactivities are not designed and implemented properly.” The rapid switch to online instruction inMarch 2020 did not allow faculty members to train, plan and reflect upon the best teachingmodes for online instruction, unless they had previously taught an online class. Therefore, aswith many other researchers, we consider the Spring semester to be an example of remotelearning rather than planned online learning [3].In October 2020, the Chronicle of Higher Education conducted a survey among faculty membersin US institutions to gain
