The course assignments involve designing and building the device(a clear engineering challenge) with the more conceptual work of planning for its integration intopro-social organizational processes (a clear peace and justice challenge). To facilitate thisexploration, we have designed the course to minimize lectures and instead use class time forconversations and collaboration. This will be done through a combination of group discussions,team exercises, and collaborative workshops.This paper, submitted as a work-in-progress, presents the current state of our coursedevelopment. We discuss our learning outcomes, describe our pedagogical approaches, andidentify areas

The researchers proposed that a consumer pull for better teaching and learning couldmake a difference to encourage research oriented universities to reform their curriculums [8].

The model used a five phase approach which included planning andassessment, identification of emerging topics, curriculum redesign, recruitment strategies, and ameasurement and continuous improvement plan.

Administering effectiveness evaluations to thestudents regarding the teaching style and course load are essential to any intensive-length course todetermine how the students viewed the success of the course and what aspects needed improving. Thebest practices for teaching a summer course according to Kops (2014) are to restructure the course,reconfigure assignments, organize and plan, and maximize support to students.

The idea was to guide the teachers inthe use of tools and techniques that could be successfully utilized to engage the students inSTEM related topics and to also learn from them in order to develop best practices.Having a class of middle schoolers complete activities in the classroom or lab would requiremore adult to student interaction when conducting some of the planned experiments, so a reliablepool of volunteers was needed.

There were several reasons for this including a leadershiptransition at the school, lags in procurement and challenges in communication. Toovercome this hurdle, we ‘dusted off’ some older robotics materials from the HS closet towork with throughout the academic year. For the UMD curriculum, the program model was tested. At the service site, 1-2UMD students worked with a team of 3-4 HS students to design, build and program arobot. The course met once per week on Thursdays from 3:30 – 4:45 at the end of theschool day.

Modeling: The instructor models expert practice while describing and explaining each step of the process from planning (selecting materials/tools, organizing work space) through execution 3. Scaffolding: The instructor provides guidelines, steps, and parameters to structure student exploration. The student begins to conceptualize the task and begins planning. 4.
