their teacher’simplementation of the e4usa curriculum caused their interest in science to grow, whichdemonstrates that, in addition to the engineering design curriculum itself, a teacher’simplementation of the curriculum is also important for increasing students’ science interest. InHill et al.’s meta-analysis of 89 professional learning programs for STEM teachers, theresearchers found that programs that focused on training teachers to use curriculum materials andstrengthening teachers’ content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and knowledge ofstudent learning were associated with better achievement outcomes when compared to programsthat did not emphasize these goals [5]. Our findings suggest that e4usa’s professional learningprogram

The course covers reaction stoichiometry and homogenous kinetics,steady-state and time-dependent reactor design with material and energy balances, deriving reactionmechanisms and rate laws, and understanding transport limitations for heterogeneous catalysis. The coursegrade was comprised of graded homework sets (15%) and 3 midterm exams (16%, 17%, 17

did not experience changes during their internships during the summerof 2020. Although from an economic perspective, PPE might appear to be non-consequential, forconstruction, the additional PPE is an additional cost. More importantly, the difficulty in findingwork that was identified is quite essential. This finding indicates that internships during times ofeconomic change, whether sudden or due to an ongoing recession, affect students. Additionalresearch is required to determine if all recessions affect internships, as they are often required aspart of graduation requirements.References[1] Barr, A., Turner, S.E. and Danziger, S.(2013).
