Studentsworked together in pairs to modify the traffic-simulation model. All the teams were able tosuccessfully run models and report the traffic performance measures before and after removingthe lane. Few teams had begun to write down the transportation performance measures before thesimulation period was complete, and thus a fair comparison of the two

a society where science, engineering, and technology permeateall aspects of our lives. While aspects of technology and engineering have appeared in some K-12 science classrooms and, to a limited extent, in prior national science standards, the NGSSpresent a true integration of science, engineering and technology (Sneider and Purzer, 2014).This is a new approach to teaching science that will require new curriculum materials,professional development and other supports for teachers, and new assessments (Penuel, Harris,& DeBarger, 2015). Teachers who are generalists as well as those certified in science typically have very littleknowledge of and experience with engineering content or practices (Cunningham, 2009; Custer& Daugherty
that was meant to be passed onto younger generations of Americans. Yet, despite its decades-old practice and the burgeoning body of literature on bestpractices for it, research detailing just how common the service-learning pedagogy is in the K-12landscape is scarce. Furthermore, a literature search reveals that the contexts in which service-learning curricula are integrated are few and typically a component of staple subjects likeEnglish Language Arts, history/social studies, and science. However, recent efforts to improveK-12 STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curriculum, like the NGSS’s three-dimensional philosophy of core ideas, cross-cutting concepts, and science and engineeringpractices, signifies a new canopy of

The application of fluid intelligence assessment as an effectivetool to assure "not-teaching to the test" in flipped classroom pedagogy is proposed, with inputsfrom cognitive studies that Intelligence is one of the most heritable behavioral traits.

promoted the assistance of veterans for attainingcareers in engineering so they can participate to the Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) workforce for the benefit of society [5]. Most student veterans aresupported by the Post-9/11 GI Bill for collegiate education as they work to help them transitioninto civilian careers. This is a large college student demographic in the United States receivingsubstantial educational assistance benefits from the federal government. In 2015, 790,507veterans received almost $12 billion for their education [6]. We focus on veterans enrolled inonline master’s degree engineering programs.
