. The non-profit team providedgrant management and oversight for the colleges’ funded STEM programs, requiring quarterlyreporting of their financial expenditures and budget balances, progress against their proposedtimelines, and narratives describing program status, outcomes, and challenges. The SFAz PIresponded to these reports with emails, phone calls and site visits when appropriate, providingongoing support and guidance to the college PIs to ensure their program’s success.STEM Metrics Development ApproachFrom its onset, the SFAz+8 program was designed to generate evidence to validate achievementof the program goals. Objectivity was ensured through the use of an external evaluator. Eachprogram goal had associated measurable outcome(s) and

The metric vector is a subset of 2 componentsof the normalized spectral energy vector E x ⁄ E s with E x components given by f(k + 1) 2 Ex ( k ) = f ( k ) X ( f ) df (1)where k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 . The integral limits are defined by the frequency band vector f = [ 501, 708, 1000, 1413, 1995, 2818, 3981 ] (2)which defines f ( 1 ) through f ( 7 ) . The energy

Shirley Ann Jackson [4] noted that “[s]ince that time, there has beencontinuing concern that engineering education does not sufficiently incorporate liberal studies…As engineering and the technological revolution continue to transform our world, we must assurethat those who steer these changes understand the totality of the human condition, and that bringsus back to the liberal arts.” The chorus of calls for change has included soul-searching reportssuch as that by Grinter (1955) [5], which was soon overwhelmed by the urgency of Sputnik andthe Space Race insisting on the primacy of purely technical competence, and Olmsted [6].Olmsted’s 1968 ASEE Report Liberal Learning for the Engineer praised a few exemplarystudent-driven, socially

- Cost Brain Computer Interface TechnologiesAbstract:Advancing an interest and literacy in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)fields in high school students through summer and after school programs has been widelypopular since the 1990’s, and these programs are effective at improving retention and persistenceafter graduation. However, there still remains a lack of designing programs to increase interestand literacy of biomedical engineering (BME) related applications that are scalable at otherinstitutions. This is typically due to the challenges of providing costly resources that areavailable only in specific laboratory settings and require graduate level expertise to operate. Toprovide a low-cost and scalable approach to

With the initial request, desires, and STEM tool requirements provided by the K-12 school and teacher(s), the engineering design students develop initial concepts and visit the K-12 classroom. During the initial visit, the engineering students introduce themselves and present early design efforts. Additionally, a market survey is administered to the K-12 students and teacher(s), in order to involve them in the design process and specifics of the resulting STEM tool.

calculating gradesmade them more difficult to understand, not easier. For example, if a student receives one4, two 3's, and one 2 on a four-standard assignment, the average grade is 3, which is a B.However, the percent grade is 4+3+3+2=12, then 12/16=0.75, resulting in a C grade. Thestudent notices a C in the grade book and becomes concerned about their grade, but it isincorrect. Automatic letter grades were turned off in Canvas, but even if students knew the scaleis different than traditional, it did not help that the student’s immediate reaction to seeing a 75 andremembering that they have a B, and not a C.
