They reflected on the importance of the support that they had received from theircoworkers, as well as the value of having that work experience when it came time to look for a jobafter graduation. “As I was going to school, I was also working full-time at the CAD designers. I worked in the industry another four years prior to working as an engineer. My coworkers were willing to help me with homework. My employer was very acceptable and very supportive of me going to school, so they allowed me to work out hours to make up those hours.” – Asian American Engineer “I started off

families are invited to one of SfT’s partner institutions, including theMuseum of Science and Industry, The Field Museum of Natural History and the PeggyNotebaert Nature Museum.The question the SfT initiative explores is if there are changes in participants’ and out-of-school time organization leadership’s attitude towards STEAM, as well as a gain in contentknowledge. To study this question, participants are given a survey gaging their attitudes andknowledge about STEAM before and after each module. Additionally, all instructors arerequired to complete Activity Journal Logs after each of their class sessions. These journalsallow instructors to reflect on their classes and help to identify where they needed moresupport from the SfT initiative

An email introducing and containing a link to the online survey wassent to all students during the final days of the course. Response rates were extremely low (≈7%) due to the timing of the survey and lack of in-class announcements. However, the fewresults that were obtained demonstrated that students would identify others outside of their teamsand even their sections, through use of the free-response questions.The final version of the survey consisted of a cover letter describing the purpose of the researchand data collection, a prompt asking the students to indicate all

began as a week-long residentialexperience, with counselors and mentors leading more of the workshops than faculty. Theworkshops are less technical than those offered at the high school level, but reflect the broadintroduction to multiple engineering disciplines and computer science. The program also advisesparticipants how to prepare for future studies in STEM. Middle school is a critical age for youngwomen where self-confidence and perceptions of others have a big impact on actions anddecisions. A well-known study has shown that young girls have gendered perceptions of STEMeven as middle school students [8]. By reaching the girls at a younger age, the program aims toincrease the STEM pipeline and encourage more young women to explore and

And yet, the number of students enrolled in the CU TeachEngineering concentration does not nearly reflect the scale of interest initially expressed by theundergraduate engineering student body on a 2012 survey: while one-quarter of the almost 1,000respondents indicated an interest in K-12 teaching on the survey, just 14 students are currentlypursuing the CU Teach Engineering concentration. What is keeping those who indicated ahypothetical interest in K-12 teaching from enrolling in it and pursuing secondary STEM teacherlicensure as part of their engineering degrees? This paper seeks to begin probing this complexquestion by taking a historical perspective, integrating data from the initial launch of the programwith

This approach fostered improved co-regulation skills, and students who started withthe lowest levels of conceptual knowledge had similar course outcomes to those who began withhigher scores.In reflecting on our observations of the course, we also feel the collaborative quizzes were well-received. The majority of students participated fully and were engaged with the materials.

It is only at this point that the interaction moves from passive supervisingto active mentoring.We can also say something about the nature of Will’s stance toward mentoring in this vignette. Itwould seem that Will was not actively positioning himself in a mentoring role until the needarose. The long pause Will takes between the giving praise and giving advice could suggest it isan afterthought. Furthermore, his cursing about Gary might suggest this advice reflects hisfrustrations with Gary more than a desire to mentor Curtis. The reasons behind this passiveattitude toward Curtis is unclear, but we should point out that Curtis had only

Engineering education institutions drewupon expertise from ethics, history of technology, science & technology studies (STS), philosophy,and professional practitioners to develop new curriculums in response to these requirements.Engineering schools also engaged in efforts to

Other children view theproblem as a challenge believing that they can solve it with enough time and effort (Dweck andReppucci, 1973; Dweck, 1986). Later, she studied the effect a child’s beliefs about themselveshad on a child’s goals using the model that a child who viewed their intelligence as a fixedquantity would choose goals that reflected that belief and a child who viewed their intelligenceas a changeable quantity would choose goals in accordance with that belief (Dweck and Leggett,1988).

The Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS; NGSS Lead States, 2013) call for “raising engineering design to the samelevel as scientific inquiry in science classroom instruction at all levels” (p. 1). Reflecting thisemphasis on engineering as a core idea, recent reforms include proficiency in engineering designas a key component of college and career readiness (Auyang, 2004; Carr, Bennett, & Strobel,2012; Duderstadt, 2008; Kelly, 2014

These strategies appear to be ones that expert designers employautomatically, without consciously deciding to do so[24]. The heuristics were individuallyextracted across multiple concepts from multiple designers to reflect a useful level of abstractionin describing how to alter design characteristics to create new ones[25]. The resulting set of DesignHeuristics capture 77 different strategies, each of which can be applied independently or in tocreate new designs[26].The set of Design Heuristics is packaged as an instructional tool for

Instructional Design, on the other hand, is the systematic and reflective process oftranslating principles of learning and instruction into plans for, instructional materials, activities,information resources, and evaluation [1]. Teaching refers to the learning experiences that arefacilitated by a human being. Smith and Ragan [1] identifies three steps in instructional design inthe following way: a. Identifying the Goals through Analysis – This involves consideration of the learning outcomes to be achieved, background of students and the nature of the teaching activity such as lecture, workshop, and lab work. b.
