directly into required undergraduatecoursework. Engineering and technology educators must develop new curriculum solutions inadvanced energy technologies to fill the gaps in existing coursework and prepare the nextgeneration of students to support renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainability1-2.Moreover, according to a survey of U.S. electric utilities, the Center for Energy WorkforceDevelopment, the power and energy industry is already beginning to experience a shortage inengineers and skilled workers, which will become more severe in the next ten years, whenroughly one-half of the workforce will retire. There are also rapidly growing demands fortraining engineers and technicians in these areas, through courses and training sessions3-4

The intervention was created to inspire andencourage middle school girls to pursue STEM subjects in high school as a possible pathway to aSTEM career, and to inform parents of the opportunities

Professor at Penn State in 2012. He is a member of ACS, AIChE, AAAS, and ASEE. More recently, he has engaged in studying the ”physics of community”, pursuing questions in learning, creativity, motivation, trust and deceit, courage, and other social science ideas using results from physics, chemistry, biology, and chemical engineering. In 2011 he published a book, Wild Scholars, available through amazon.com, and he seeks to impact education from grade school to college. In 2013, he published a book CENTER, which details six practices needed to go from your passions and purposes, to making a change in the world. In Fall 2013, he is teaching a MOOC called ”Creativity, Innovation, and Change”, which has over 120,000 students

These were analyzed throughobservations and other ethnographic methods. The third design setting is professionalengineering companies. This setting was analyzed through the research team’s experiencesworking on design teams for multiple companies. Data suggests that engineering education andindustry organizational contexts constitute processes of design differently. These findingschallenge the typical rhetoric that undergraduate education project courses are intended toprovide students with real-world design experiences.IntroductionEngineering design has been defined as a

As founder of CSULB’s "Women in Engineering Outreach” program, she understands the importance of community and parental support; she developed "My Daughter is an Engineer," as a residential program for 5th grade girls/parents/teachers. Recognizing that poverty often sets the trajectory for school readiness, her “Engineering Girls–It Takes A Village” residential program serves homeless girls/mothers.

Chinese history. Leighbody andKidd also concluded "learning requires active experiences" in their survey3.Nowak4 ranked teaching strategies and learning activities within technology education. Thehighest ranked strategy was the one with product-oriented and laboratory-based content. Thesecond highest rank was for strategy using technology focus, and the lowest was for strategy thatrelied heavily on classroom orientation.Having hands-on laboratory is one condition, but the laboratory practices should be relevant toprepare graduates for their manufacturing career. Miller5 surveyed 25 department heads of USmanufacturing programs and concluded that an exemplary manufacturing program should: a) Require more technical coursework, b) Require or
