with the possibility of a cultural technoscience by drawing onengineering studies to introduce engineering mindsets [31], progress as a political term, and theassumption that new is always better [32]. The module also explores dominant cultural images ofneutral computation by analyzing the operationalization of fairness and the assumed neutrality ofmathematics (i.e. positivism, mathwashing, algorithms/culture distinction) [33]. Finally,objectivity is contested through a feminist studies critique as a segue into discussing how the“objectivity” of technology plays a role in marginalizing the knowledges of oppressed peoples[34]–[36]. For example, students will be challenged to think about how familiar “value-free”constructions and practices of

For high school students, many PLTW initiatives are not embedded, but offered asan elective course, outside of their normal Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)trajectories. Students in public school settings where PLTW is offered as an elective may findthat these courses conflict and compete with other courses that may hold a personal interest.Though PLTW courses are engaging and expose students to principles in engineering andtechnology, in many educational settings, it is up to the individual student to decide on PLTW asa viable and worthwhile pathway.To assess the impact of PLTW, several states have begun longitudinal tracking of studentsenrolled in
Course on Undergraduate Students (RTP)AbstractExposure to pre-college Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) activitiesand undergraduate service learning have been linked to increased interest and participation inSTEM careers. However, few studies have linked these two activities to increased interest andparticipation in teaching careers related to STEM. Due to changing national standards anddemographics, the next generation of K-12 teachers will be required to integrate STEM into theirclassrooms while dealing with students of diverse backgrounds that may differ significantly fromtheir own. Of concern are the elementary or K-6 teachers who will be expected to include STEMin their lessons but do not

, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are currently major focuses of pre-college education in the United States. This is partially an effort to produce a greater number andvariety of STEM professionals; it is thought that this effort will help the US remain competitivein a global economy [1], [2]. Regardless of career choice, STEM education has the potential toimprove the STEM literacy of all students [3]. One of the current trends in STEM education isthe integration of the four disciplines. A main goal of integrating STEM in pre-collegeclassrooms is that students can make connections within and between the STEM disciplines,which has the potential to deepen their understanding of each discipline [4].Of the STEM subjects, engineering has

over a decade-long process4 that engagedstakeholders from across industry and academia. In 1992, ABET President John Prados5 calledfor a paradigm shift in engineering education, noting that while the post-war paradigm shift toengineering science was sorely needed to meet the technological challenges of the day, it leftengineers unprepared for the present-day needs of industry: Few would argue that the engineering science emphasis has not produced graduates with strong technical skills. However, these graduates are not nearly so well prepared in other skills needed for success in today's engineering practice and in the development and management of innovative technology; these include: (1) oral and written
significant gender difference in terms of collaborative reasoning. We identified criticalfactors that affected students’ final decisions in each unit of discourse analysis. Girls' engineeringdecisions were safety-oriented, so they prioritized energy options with “no known disadvantages”even if other options had known advantages. In contrast, boys selected an option if they felt thatthey had collected sufficient evidence to reach consensus and did not select an option if it includedeconomic disadvantages or technological limitations.IntroductionArgumentation plays a key role in engineering. For example, in a study of argumentation acrossthe undergraduate curriculum, Wolfe [1] found that all of the engineering assignments included inthe analysis
