. Domestic ProgramsAs for the technical competency of the graduates, the international programs were either at par orabove any comparable U. S. domestic programs. Students appeared to be better prepared whenthey started technology programs than most U.S. students entering technology programs. Theyappeared to be more serious and focused students. Very few students transferred from a differentmajor as more students change major in U.S. However, graduates from the internationalprograms seem to know less about other cultures and country. Faculty members overall had moreexperience in industry, but many lacked terminal degree in technical field.ConclusionWith overall superior programs and high graduate placement, author and other members of theteam

receiving a STEM tool. Typically, a STEM field teacher in the school is the primary point of contact and specifies concepts that the STEM tool should convey. 2. 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. Market survey questions range from “what color would you like the

Students gained valuable transferable skills while workingon this project including creative thinking, audience awareness, teamwork, technical writing,visual design, and communication. The authors of this paper, who include the students thatworked on the project, aim to promote and encourage the idea of undergraduate students activelyengaging and creating STEM programs and initiatives for K-12.IntroductionThe idea of STEM education has been around since the early 1900’s. Originally called, SMET(science, mathematics, engineering, and technology), educators focused on instructing studentsin skills that would benefit their future societies[1]. The idea of enriching these fields by creatingstudents well versed in them quickly
