These teachers havelimited confidence to incorporate engineering and technology in their classroom.At a professional development (PD) workshop, that is part of a National ScienceFoundation (NSF) funded engineering research project, teachers from different schooldistricts were invited to learn building automation and additive manufacturing at auniversity campus in summer 2017. The overall goal of the project is to increase thenumber of students on the STEM pathway. This work reports the findings of a study thatexplored the effectiveness of a teacher PD workshop

The negative language “I do not connect my future career with what I amlearning in this course” lends itself to the PI construct and may have confused students. The itemshould be altered or reconsidered for future analysis.This work is particularly valuable as FTP has been shown, quantitatively and qualitatively, tohave an impact on goal-setting and metacognitive strategies in the present [2], [6], [10]–[13], asstated in the Background section.

However, it is believedthat Access Engineering also could benefit greatly from leadership by those with experience inchildcare and education. With these considerations in mind, pre-service teachers were employedas leadership team coordinators (i.e., activity leaders), and engineering students were retained asleadership team (i.e., activity assistants).Novel Opportunities for Pre-Service Teachers In addition to helping

While many students whoenter into U.S. institutions of Higher Education may take a number of academic writing coursesin their undergraduate career by means of an Intensive English Program or other EnglishLanguage Program, many of these courses do not place emphasis on the advanced, technical, andfield-specific writing skills needed to successfully navigate the academic and scholarlyenvironment. Indeed, these courses typically focus on genres of essay writing (e.g., expository,descriptive, narrative, argumentative) instead of scientific, disciplinary genres that are crucial inthe process of developing theses and dissertations as well as in the

The ultimate objective of these activities is to encourage more students to choose aneducation in the STEM fields and pursue a STEM-related career in the future [2].Getting more students involved in the STEM education is already a challenge. Attracting morefemale students into the STEM fields can be even harder. Statistics data show that there is a biggender gap in the STEM fields in workplaces. It has been found that women make up 46% of theworkforce but hold only 24% of jobs in STEM fields [3].
