The most successful case studies are those that inspire students to go out, do their own research, and learn more about their chosen profession [5].Research ApproachThe methodology selected for this study included case studies.

By its nature,PBL-structured case studies promote learning at the cutting edge of a discipline and thus are well-suited to the emerging NSNT field.A central premise in using the case study technique is that the process of learning is just asimportant as the content [12]. In general, students work cooperatively during case studies to answerchallenging questions or to evaluate complex ethical issues. For PBL-structured case studies,students are expected to investigate and learn necessary content in order to understand the contextof a case. This requires

TTE REU was designed as an intervention for students so thatthey would have an opportunity to build their confidence and knowledge in science andengineering with the goal that this intervention would lead to more students transferring to abachelor program. As discussed by S. Artis4, TTE REU brings students from communitycolleges around the state of California to the University of California, Berkeley to complete a9 week summer research internship.

In reflecting on the personal impact of recent national events and how politicaldiscussions have or have not been integrated into their STEM courses, two themes emerged: 1)political awareness and 2) future-self impact. Findings revealed that first year engineeringstudents recognized the personal and social impacts current national events imposed on theirfriends, family, and society. However, students did not sense the significance of politicaldiscourse concerning the social impact and ethical practice of engineering. Our research showsthat limiting political discourse in the classroom and depoliticizing engineering spacescontributed to students dissociating the relevance of political
