RSC Physics department plans to begin having students conduct lab experiments using UAS purchased as part of this program in place of more traditional Physics laboratory activities as early as Summer 2019. RSC Math department offered a Special Topics course in the Spring 2019 semester titled “Mathematics of Drones” where students and the instructor investigated opportunities to develop single variable and multiple variable Calculus applications regarding UAV’s. • An extracurricular “Drone Team” comprised of approximately 10 OU students was formed. Their current goal is to get hands on experience with designing, building, and flying drones without the limitations and restrictions of an academic

IndustrialEngineering (ISyE) students may choose to take it as an engineering science breadth course.This course includes a lecture and laboratory. It is designed to provide a broad introduction toelectrical engineering concepts and topics. This course was taught for the first time with sixstudents in Spring 2019.Social, environmental, and economic context was integrated into the course via a Design for theFuture module. The module is framed around a course-long student

This campus houses the NWLTC team and is alsoone of the main locations for deployment of certain project deliverables. During the visit, theteams were able to meet up with the relevant personnel and tour the existing facilities as well asthe planned space for housing the Portable Process Training Unit (PPTU) laboratory (see goal-2).Following this, the teams discussed and formulated plans and timelines to execute each of theproposed project tasks that were outlined in the earlier section. The team members also discussedcollectively the format/procedures for interfacing with the external evaluator, the need for thecontinual documenting of

STEM leaders require a specific skill setbecause their leadership roles reside outside of the typical management leadership paradigm(e.g. leaders of research laboratories or large research projects). The Elites Leadershipprogram provides the structure for the STEM students to hone these specific leadership skills.The program includes many of the high impact practices that motivate students to increasetheir academic engagement that draws on current university wide support structures (e.g.undergraduate research, career development).Limitations This study has limitations which includes the small sample size. This is due to therecent implementation of the Elites Leadership program

] theorized that development evolves out of processes (e.g.,interactions) occurring in context. The overall RED project that this study is a part of is aninvestigation of the interactions between students and instructors, as well as between studentsand “objects and symbols” (e.g., course curriculum), within students’ microsystems (e.g.,classroom, laboratory, pro), as they matriculate through the program [29]. These processes havethe potential to powerfully influence student development [30]. The curricular changes thatincorporate needs finding and design across all four years of the curriculum are a direct effort tointervene in these processes and interactions between students, faculty, and the objects andsymbols within their immediate learning
opportunities education majors have to practicediscourse development prior to their student teaching practicum. Discourse simulation activitiesat universities prior to student teaching and internships are often insufficient to prepare teachersfor engaging in discourse with students throughout an entire school day.Traditional Methods of Discourse DevelopmentTraditionally, discourse development begins with pre-service teachers’ own understanding ofmath and science based upon how they were taught when they were first learning the material.Most education programs require pre-service teachers to take at least one laboratory-basedscience course and to complete mathematics courses. Once the students have a foundation inmath and science, they then take courses

Learning through DesignFindings from initial field studies of this work have focused on better understanding informalexperiences related to design [30, 31, 32]. With regard to where engineering design learningoccurs, the literature points to various educational contexts that effectively deliver engineeringdesign education. The most common settings include capstone design courses, first-yearengineering courses, and other non-traditional classroom experiences (e.g. Virtual laboratories).Strategies that involve authentic and longer-term engineering design experiences tend to be themost impactful in terms of student outcomes and perceptions, however those experiences are notalways implementable at larger scale. More traditional educational approaches
