This paper gives an overview of a curricularintervention, mixed methods research study, and analysis of a four-day soft robotics curriculumthat introduces the field, technical concepts, and allows for student experimentation and design.We employed a mixed methods research design to understand how the curriculum broadenedstudents’ understanding of engineering, their STEM identities, and career interest. Data analysisaims to uncover what students learned about the discipline of soft robotics, and how theycontextualize the lesson within their understanding of career paths in robotics, and their owninterests. Results to date demonstrate that integrating a soft robotics curriculum in high schoolsmay provide

Specifically, the topic of power electronics is intended to cover both the funda- mentals and practical design in a single-semester course.

The ARCS framework is used as aconceptual framework to unpack high school students’ motivational influences inengineering/computer science project-based learning via a series of focus groups. Using theinsights obtained from First and Second cycle coding based qualitative analysis, IoT-basedCS curricular modules that align with Grades 9-12 Computer Science Teachers Association(CSTA) standards were developed.

In particular, teachers found that the NextGeneration Science Standards [1] practice of “computational thinking” was the best lens fordeveloping their aligned big data instruction. After exploring a taxonomy of computationalthinking in mathematics and science [2], the teachers collectively eventually settled on a core setof four computational thinking skills [3] most likely to be productive for their teaching focus;algorithmic thinking, decomposition, abstraction, and pattern recognition. This paper reports onthe variety of connections teachers developed with the practice of computational thinking, fromdata clustering as an active practice for simulating early generation of the periodic table in achemistry class

It requires that the teams gather data at the source of the problem while brainstorming in a structured way such as using tools like fishbone diagrams, decision trees or the 5 Why’s. This module ends with the team debriefing to the rest of the class on their A3 document from problem definition up to their proposed countermeasure plan. Then the teams go through the activity again per their proposed countermeasure known as implementation plan (step 6) to confirm the result (step 7).

Astin’s involvement model shows thatthe academic performance of a student is directly correlated to their involvement level within theircollege or program [2, 3]. Tinto theorizes that poor integration into the many facets of college life,including academically and socially, is an early indication of a student having a higher risk ofdropping out [4-6]. Finally, Swail et al.’s analysis of minority retention in institutions of higherlearning yields the Geometric Model of Student Persistence and
