11 | P a g e 12 Conclusion & Significance of Study One of the persistent instructional challenges teachers working with ELLs face is theirmeaningful integration into learning activities [31]. This study explored the extent to which acombination of activities developed with the learning and developmental needs of earlyelementary ELLs in mind. We integrated routines for academic conversations into hands-onliteracy and engineering-centered inquiry activities. The analysis revealed significant results withlow to moderate effect sizes. These results provide preliminary evidence of the impact of

and Braun (2010) observed that many dyslexicstudents innately approach problems from a three-dimensional perspective2. So when a dyslexicstudent is presented with an unfamiliar object, he may have a natural ability and predisposition toexamine the object from various angles and perspectives in his mind, without ever movinghimself or the object. The ability to reason three-dimensionally may lead a dyslexic student to beable to view the opposite side of an object in his mind, based on observations concerning thefront of the object and his previous knowledge. This special reasoning skill is extremely usefulin engineering. Language, however, is two-dimensional; the tendency to reason in threedimensions can lead a “b” to look like a “d”, “p” or “q
and innovative solutions [1]. To effectivelyprepare engineering students for navigating the demands and nuances of the workplace whilebeing mindful of their users’ needs, it is necessary to train them to consider the design problemthrough both technical and human-centered perspectives [2]. Previous work noted universities’increasing tendency to incorporate HCD in existing engineering programs and to use it as anothermeans of supporting students’ achievement of desirable learning outcomes [2]. Our efforts tocontribute to this educational trend led to the development of an educational summer camp meantto expose high school students to a team-based human-centered design task.BackgroundIn this work-in-progress paper, we document the second

It is stillunclear, however, to the extent which of these concepts are present in current surveys used toassess graduate student mental health. The research question guiding this study is, Whatunderlying factors are important when looking at the mental health of science, engineering, andmathematics graduate students?This study will look specifically at the Healthy Minds Study (HMS), conducted by the HealthyMinds Network (HMN): Research on Adolescent and Young Adult Mental Health group, to tryand
Redboard. After talking to an engineering tutor, we wereinformed that we would also need to incorporate a MOSFET into our circuit since the current andvoltage of the heating pad was larger than what the Redboard could maintain. The MOSFET isable to amplify the voltage of the Redboard which would make our heating pads work efficiently.Design DetailsWhen we got our wheelchair, it was obvious that the design we originally had in mind would notbe possible. It relied on the assumption that the back wheels of the wheelchair had an accessibleaxle, but that was not the case. In fact, the wheels spun on bearings that were built into the wheelsthemselves. The metal rod the bearings were mounted on did not rotate at all, which left us backat the drawing
combat suchnegative gender stereotypes in the fields of engineering and technology, while preparing younggirls to undertake careers in engineering. Studies have shown that female students, in particular,are attracted to careers with communal and altruistic goals, showing that female students aremost interested in the social relevance of the work, exploring career opportunities of engineeringfields that link communal goals with engineering practice [5-8]. Studies have also shown thatoutreach camps and programs that strive to provide an outlet for like-minded students to interactwith each other are a great tool for introducing young students to careers in the STEM fields [9].Traditional workshop goals include teaching participants certain skills

Each session had between 26and 40 high school-aged students that were either over-night or day campers.

The goal of the paper is to report on a novel collaboration among home, public, andprivately schooled students within the context of a US FIRST team. Along with the collaborationhands-on modules are developed and taught by partnering engineers in collaboration with collegefaculty. The model applies the constructionist learning theory with structured preparation for thecompetition. In addition the paper presents issues and solutions to implementing an innovativeopportunity for home, public, and privately schooled students. This initiative lays thegroundwork for future endeavors

Although these instruments each excel in their intended areas, they were notdesigned with an integrated STEM education framework in mind, thus missing key characteristicsof integrated STEM. This lack of an integrated STEM observation protocol for K-12 educationhas delayed progress with respect to enacting integrated STEM in K-12 classrooms, whichinherently impedes our ability to measure related student
