State UniversityProf. Paul Kelter, North Dakota State University Paul Kelter’s 38-year career has focused on the integration and transfer of knowledge among students and teachers at all educational levels. He was the inaugural director of the Science Outreach Office at the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh in the late 1980’s through early 1990’s. Many of the programs he instituted via external funding are still part of that office. He was the co-PI on the successful, long-term Operation Chemistry literacy program for all levels of teachers, and parlayed that national program into grant-funded summer and year-round workshops in Wisconsin, Nebraska, and North Carolina over a 15- year period.

In particular, during the second interview, a card sortmethod was used to elicit a list of the student’s goals, the order of these goals, goals related toSRL, and other aspects of FTP. Students and/or the interviewer(s) wrote on index cards all thegoals that the student mentioned. The student was then instructed to organize the goals into apath

introductory and advanced technical writing courses.Data-driven learningAs the educational marketplace expands, institutions of higher learning are experimenting withhow active learning increases student success. Freeman et al.’s meta-analysis of STEM educationstudies found that active learning significantly increased course grades over didactic methodsand was particularly effective in classes of 50 or less students. In contrast, students were 1.5times more likely to fail a course that lacked active learning strategies [1].The spectrum of active learning ranges from simple activities, such as writing minute papers orpausing for reflection, to more complex activities, such as hands-on technology and inquirylearning. Active learning is being promoted as
methods that best fit the metal(s) of interest in the sample matrix. Method development has also provided participating students the ability to learn the importance and relevance of optimizing analytical methodologies in order to confidently measure trace metals in a sample. Each project required unique sample preparation methods. For example, sample preparation in the "Buried Treasure" project (a collaborative project that involved engineering, art and history disciplines) included development of a digestion method as well as a non- destructive method to preserve archeological glass and ceramic artifacts. 2) Training Instrumentation training was an ongoing program throughout this project
contributed to the overall ranking. The graph is essentially a stacked bar chart.An artifact that received all “1”s would be at one side of the chart, and an artifact that receivedall “5”s would be at the other. Ratings of “1” are shown as taller bars than lower ratings, so thatthe stacked bar for a higher-rated artifact is taller than other bars. We provide the rainbow chartas a web service for ranking-based systems. Here is an example of the visualization. Figure 1. Example of visualization of rankingsThe green bars represent a first-place ranking from one’s peers. They are taller than the (yellow)second-place ranking bars, or the bars for any other rank.

other words, whatwill be the broader impacts of NMIEP on general STEM education?Broader Involvement (Faculty Development): The faculty’s broader involvement is the key toimproving undergraduate STEM education. Educational research is often neglected, downgraded,or placed at a lowered priority in some institutions. Part of the reason is the long-term outcomeof the research. How we can promote a new sustainable teaching/learning strategy to the facultyin STEM fields?Sustainability (Software and Contents): Establishment of an online teaching system is a “one-time” effort (we acknowledge that it is a time-consuming effort). However, the system must besustainable beyond the funding cycle(s). A “live” teaching system must be an upgradeable
