)AbstractImproving the quality of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programsin K-12 schools is a nationwide initiative. School administrators and teachers are experimentingwith innovative curricula that will engage students in STEM subjects. However, teachers andadministrators are cautious about employing new techniques due to concerns like timelimitations on lessons, the plethora of content required to be covered during the school year, andresource restraints. Therefore, it is critical that any new curricula be beneficial to all involvedparties: school administration, teachers, and students. The new curricula must reach the goal ofthe aforementioned initiative – to improve the quality of STEM education.In order to answer the

Outcomes for Undergraduate Students in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Western Michigan UniversityAbstractStarting with the award of its first scholarships for the Fall 2010 semester, the goal of the S-STEM Scholars program at Western Michigan University has been to increase opportunities andimprove outcomes for financially needy but academically talented students and to involveundergraduate students enrolled in engineering, technology, or applied sciences majors. Theprogram has worked with first-time, first-year students and supports them as they progress intheir academic careers. Each scholarship awarded is roughly equal to one semester of tuition peracademic year for a full-time undergraduate student, and can be
