Moreover, by engaging in group-work, studentsare afforded opportunities to share their discoveries and explanations with their peers, thusconcretizing their understanding of newly learned concepts. We posit that linking robotics-basedlessons with Bloom’s cognitive domains can allow students to draw connections between diverseSTEM concepts, apply their learning to new situations, and control their own learning. The example lessons address typical educational objectives of K-12 STEM disciplinesand strengthen students’ ability to learn the subject material. Three lessons, based on LEGOMindstorms robotics, are

Adams and colleagues,for example, examine “storytelling in engineering education” with the explicit goal of betterunderstanding the emergence of an “engineering education research community.” Their focus is,in other words, accounting for an observed convergence and possibly contributing further to it.They invited eight scholars, including three co-authors, to prepare “story poster” presentations atthe national Frontiers in Education conference (supported by the IEEE). The organizers askedpresenters to respond to a structured set of questions designed to evoke “insider knowledge”pertaining to “driving passions and goals, processes such as getting started

These types oflower-recognition tasks also can include “office housework”—planning social events, gettingcoffee for colleagues, coordinating meetings. Some of these tasks carry more organizationalsignificance than do others, as they can sustain networks, communication, and projectmomentum, but few are rewarded in the way that strategic stretch work can be; Babcock et al.[8] write that these are tasks people generally do not want to do as part of their jobs and wishwould be completed by others.And yet some groups do them, and do them more than other groups do, even among those in thesame profession and role.

Thus, understanding the challenges that women face in the engineering workforce,including but not limited to sexual harassment, is critical to bringing the benefits of this diversityof thought into engineering and reducing the large numbers of women engineers who begin acareer in engineering and later decide to leave [8]. The peer reviewed literature provides insightinto which women are leaving engineering and why, but gaps remain in workplace studies toprovide a sufficiently comprehensive understanding of what’s going on so that major stepsforward are possible.Women in the WorkplacePre-Twentieth Century: The assumption that women have not contributed to institutional worksettings or the incomes of their families prior to the twentieth century

Having two classroom teachersteaching together (i.e., team teaching), while potentially helpful, does not have the same spirit ofco-teaching where a combination of different skill sets provides a unique benefit to the learningenvironment. 10 For example, in one case study of elementary science co-teaching, the classroomteacher was regarded as the “science content expert” and the special educator was regarded asthe “adaptation expert”. 14 Although each co-teacher’s skill set has unique elements, co-teachers are peers withregard to level of certification, helping to ensure that “they
