Michigan - An RETSite on Smart Vehicles.” The summer program was six weeks long and hosted five communitycollege faculty, five in-service teachers (high school science) and five pre-service teachers(integrated science majors). Participants were split into five groups and teamed up with anengineering faculty and an engineering undergraduate student each. During their 40 hours/weekwork schedule, participants worked on faculty-supervised research projects for 25 hours/weekand the remaining time was reserved for development of classroom unit plans.This paper presents details about the RET Site’s management and discusses lessons learned fromour experiences. Preliminary assessment results will be presented and discussed. Finally, we willconclude with

The emerging Virtual Reality(VR) technology in recent years can significantly improve such learning experience. In thispaper, we present our GBL practice in STEM education through the development and integrationof VR-based GBL modules into the engineering curriculum. The feedback from students, theGBL module can effectively improve the learning experience for users. This work is part of anon-going project sponsored by the DoED.

By providing an opportunity for students increase their placementscore high enough to move more than one course through the curriculum, they are incentivized towork through and persist through any difficult topics.

While the concept of a field and reactive power – identified threshold concepts – appeared in the context of teaching transmission lines, the implications of addressing the embedded troublesome knowledge reaches far beyond electromagnetics. Since capacitors and inductors use an electric field and a magnetic field respectively to function, the plausible threshold concept (fields) is integrated throughout the Electrical Engineering curriculum (Figure 2).

Due to its relatively nascent emergence, a foremost challenge to the integration ofengineering curricula into the precollege educational experience is determining where in theacademic landscape it belongs. Here lies an important dilemma facing education reformers:should precollege engineering education exist for the sake of engineering and technology literacyor should it exist as a backdrop and a means to promote science and math content learning?
