, this excitement for robotics is a keyattractor to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) career paths. Many of theseschools participate in robotics competitions for novice students to be able to learn scientific andengineering principles through hands-on activity. However, at the high school level there is lackof team mentors to assist those youth with their various projects. Prior to development of thiscourse, Fairfield University had received frequent requests to recruit college students to serve asmentors for those programs. Many of our students found it difficult to dedicate the time, whenthey did not see themselves as experts, nor have an incentive on campus to encourage theirparticipation.Through the service learning structure
University Logan, UT, USA, 84322AbstractOpen Educational Resources (OER) are freely accessible, open licensed materials that can includetext, media, or other digital formats and are created for teaching, learning, and supporting research.One of the obvious benefits to OER is a reduced cost to students. The skyrocketing cost of tuitionand textbooks makes attending college more difficult. OER has see more wide-spread adoptionin the Humanities and Social Sciences due to the need for incorporating current topics or the useof classical works of fiction that are in the public domain. Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) fields have seen a much lower rate of adoption. Part of this lower adoptionrate can be
paper, we focus on the lessons learned from adding newtechnology to an existing UAV curriculum. In addition, we ask our audience for feedback relatedto supporting students in using novel tools for engineering design and for ideas for how to bestcapture students’ skill development over a relatively short period of time.We learned that the addition of technologies, like AR, to students’ learning experiences, thetechnology needs to serve a purpose that helps students see the value in a new tool to helpaddress the challenge they are working on. This gives students a coherent experience even in aweekly after-school program. For example, we saw youth use their ideas about designingskyhooks from craft materials to help them decide which 3D printed

effective activities during the academic year.IntroductionAccording to the 2009 U.S. Census, non-Hispanic whites held 72% of science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) related jobs [1]. In 2011 ethnic minorities still held only28% of STEM jobs [2]. Thus, it was not surprising that department chairs from the 200 topresearch universities agreed that increasing underrepresented minorities in STEM fields was animportant national need [3]. A variety of K-16 initiatives have led to an increase at theundergraduate level, however, these initiatives not translated into an increase at the graduatestudent and faculty levels [4], [5]. The American Society for Engineering Education report of allengineering degrees found that underrepresented ethnic

Large posters printed from a digital template promptedstudents to further develop their technology skills, exposed them more fully to the way scientistsand engineers communicate their work, and, most importantly, enabled the specialists who cameto the poster session to engage students more deeply with questions and comments on their work.These and other modifications will hopefully continue to develop students’ exposure to andinterest in engineering and its influence on society.Following analysis of the results from the second implementation cycle, the unit will bedisseminated to science teachers as one example of feasibly integrating engineering practicesinto a high school physics curriculum.

In the quarantine box activity,students worked as mechanical engineers to innovate a simple design for a box that wouldprevent human contact with a ‘pathogen’ while allowing manipulation of that pathogen. Thesanitary mask and biohazard suit activities allowed the camp participants to work as biomedicalengineers by asking them to design systems to keep healthcare professionals from becominginfected by the disease. In these activities, students learned about the importance of lab safety,simple thermodynamics, and how to test and redesign to achieve maximum efficacy.Additionally, students applied concepts from computer and electrical engineering by buildingand testing
