In that academy, high school rising juniors and seniors were trained inSolidWorks 3D modeling software and guided through the design of their own scaled-downindustrial robots. Upon completion of their design, the students printed their designs using 3Dprinters and fabricated their robots into working prototypes. They then integrated their robotswith an Arduino PC board and programmed their robots to do pick and place

At the time, SDR technology was only beginning to mature, the number of optionswere limited, access to the various features of the SDR platform was limited, and the cost of thehardware was relatively high (˜$2000USD). Based on this proposed paradigm, the authorspublished an undergraduate textbook that presented a curriculum for teaching hands-on digitalcommunications education using SDR

In the original outline of the course,the first eight weeks were primarily focused on working with microcontrollers and developingembedded systems using the C programming language. In the last two weeks, we introduced theinstruction set architecture and discussed microcontroller organization and assemblyprogramming. Since the majority of students had no experience with C prior to this course, thefirst two weeks were primarily dedicated to a quick ramp-up in C programming.

the contrary, Charette (2013) suggested that there are more STEM workers than suitable jobsand many STEM graduates work for non-STEM related jobs. Whether one thinks there is a STEMshortage or surplus, an important factor that hinders any STEM graduate from securing a STEMjob is their inadequate level of academic preparation for college. This preparation begins in gradesK-12.STEM integration in K-12 has been on the rise since the idea was introduced almost a decade ago(Nathan & Pearson, 2014). Zuger (2015) noted the most commonly reported challenges that theK-12 schools are facing to implement STEM programs are funding (48.4%), inadequate K-8education (46.5%), insufficient teacher PD (46.4%), unclear best practices for STEM education(35.3

and integration13with an emphasis on conceptual understanding over a period of time14. The researchers were alsoconcerned with the way in which concept mapping has been used to evaluate interdisciplinaryknowledge integration and the manner in which instruction can play into that integration15. Ourmethod draws heavily from Shallcross’s16 methodology that targets semi-structured mappingactivities by single students in a short time frame. This affords an efficient deployment of conceptmapping within a course setting without being disruptive. Due to the exploratory nature of theproject and diversity of approaches taken within each section, the authors avoid assessing theconcept maps to an exemplar developed by an expert or a singular complexity
