OST-based programs provide services to 15% of thenational school-aged population which is 24% African American, 21% Hispanic, and 16% ofNative Americans; a total of 61% for URMs [2,3,4]. According to the Learning in Informal andFormal Environments Center (LIFE), children only spend 81.5% of their waking hours outside ofthe formal education environment [5,6]. From an outcomes standpoint, OST programs have beenfound to improve students’ attitudes toward STEM classes, increase interest in STEM careers,and boost academic achievement. As encouraging as this

, undergraduate students will be exposed toapplications of IoT in the context of core and elective ECE courses, thus enabling them to bebetter prepared for careers in a world that is more “connected” now, than ever before. Thisinitiative will also support undergraduate research in IoT, thus affording students an opportunityto gain a deeper understanding of the subject, in a real-world context. The proposed curriculumframework would support learning outcomes that transcend a basic understanding of concepts,and aim towards the application of acquired skills in designing, building and deploying IoTdevices for a variety of applications. Unlike most other ECE programs, our department offersstudents, beginning in their freshman year, a curriculum that is rich
