The meaning-making stage allowed cohort members to understand theapplicability of social justice work in STEM fields and the roles they play in creating systemicchange. Throughout the semester, AWE members attended training sessions on presentationskills, including how to manage an audience, how to speak in front of large groups, and how tofacilitate sensitive discussions. They also worked on building cohesiveness as a group as theystarted to examine possible locations and audiences for outreach in the university community.The time spent on AWE-related activities by cohort members ranged from one to five

Some of the conceptual problems can be caused by text books: o Some text books fail to make clear distinction between certain concepts, e.g. internal energy and heat.56 o In some popular textbooks, scientific terms are confused with everyday language semantics and with common-sense knowledge.56 o The way in which most textbooks introduce or treat the concepts of work, energy and heat are incorrect or confusing. 56 o Most books nowadays use a definition of heat closer to the presently accepted one: a process of energy transfer due to a temperature difference

policy.IntroductionThe subjects and competencies we choose to include in our civil engineering courses andcurricula typically reflect one or more factors. We may choose to teach a subject because it isexplicitly required by the ABET accreditation criteria, because our alumni and the employerswho hire our graduates tell us they want our graduates to have specific skills, and/or because wefeel the topic is part of the historical body of knowledge to which every civil engineeringgraduate should be exposed. This paper proposes that a new topic and skillset should be addedto our civil engineering curricula—Prevention through Design—despite the fact that none of thethree typical curricular motivations apply.Prevention through Design (PtD, also called Design for

Those for whom the seminars were less relevant to helpingwith coursework may have attended sessions designed for other purposes, such as to widenexposure to the field or to introduce students to topics not closely related to current coursework.Sixteen out of 20 students (80%) rated the S-STEM program as being “very supportive” or“somewhat supportive” when difficulties were encountered.

Learners are engaged by scientifically oriented questions.2. Learners give priority to evidence, which allows them to develop and evaluate explanations that address scientifically oriented questions.3. Learners formulate explanations from evidence to address scientifically oriented questions.4. Learners evaluate their explanations in light of alternative explanations, particularly those reflecting scientific understanding.5. Learners communicate and justify their

Typically, a 3 credit course isoffered in a 16-week semester, but some universities may offer it in 10-week quarters. Atravel course of 10 days or 2 weeks is another point on the spectrum to compress thelearning time, by intensifying the learning through direct experiences, with the same oreven more contact hours.
