primer [3], there are between 105 and 252 STEMeducation programs or activities at 13 to 15 federal agencies; the key agencies involved in theeffort are Department of Education, National Science Foundation, and Health and HumanServices.Given that the interests are broad and federal efforts are spread across multiple agencies, there isa concern with perceived duplication of effort and a lack of coordination in the federal effort.Therefore, efforts to improve accountability and coordination have gained prominence in recentyears. The data currently available about STEM education paints a “complicated” picture [3].According to many indicators [3], overall graduate enrollments in science and engineering (S&E)grew 35% over the last decade; S&E

experiential learning format.Although Besterfield-Sacre et al. (2012)’s work presents a tool for assessing entrepreneurialknowledge, the inventory is a measure of students’ self-assessed knowledge rather than a “directmeasure of measurement of the actual skills and knowledge” (p. 8). We argue that this approachdoes not completely capture students’ understanding of entrepreneurial concepts due to emphasison only students’ familiarity with concepts and terms, rather than their ability to internalize andapply entrepreneurial knowledge. In other words, overall there is almost no research that uses adirect measure of entrepreneurial knowledge to assess the impact of entrepreneurship programson student learning. Guided by this gap, in our study, we examined

In this case, student 8o had taken an elective STScourse on the Societal Implications of Nanotechnology (STS 3110).Even when students may have misunderstood ideas from prior classes there is anacknowledgement that technological change does not occur in a vacuum nor does it drive societyin some determined way. For example, Participant 77’s pre-map (not shown) includes the term“technological determinism” as a node linked to “design”, “unintended consequences”, and“ethical decision making” and a side note that states “I do not subscribe wholesale to this theory,but some professors in the past have treated this as doctrine.” It should be noted thattechnological determinism as an argument for what primarily drives social change is critiqued bySTS

the Perry Model [4] and the Reflective Judgement Stages of King and Kitchener? [5]Theoretical FrameworkOur theoretical framework consists of the Perry model of intellectual development, first formedduring the 1960’s, and the King and Kitchener Reflective Judgement Model, beginning in1994.[4] [5] [6] Both models are forms of epistemic cognition, involving the role of uncertaintyand context in the acquisition of knowledge, and its effects on the development of beliefs aboutspecific types of knowledge. It appears that the higher levels require the use of critical thinking.Perry originally identified nine levels of cognitive skills leading to knowledge from a state of“right” vs. “wrong” to a state of awareness that knowledge is relativistic and

In addition to racial/ethnicminority groups historically underrepresented in STEM more broadly, students who are from rural areas,who are the first generation to attend college, who are not able bodied, and those who lack financialresources are often not adequately prepared in their K-12 education, and often do not meet the minimumstandardized test scores to be admitted into engineering programs, particularly at land grant universities.
