comprehensive review of this literature here, wecite and discuss selected works that have influenced our thinking.A large body of research evidence suggests that active learning techniques – broadlytaken here to mean any form of instruction that engages students beyond passivelyreceiving information – promote learning10,11. A particularly convincing study conductedby Hake in the 1990’s demonstrated that physics students exposed to some form of“interactive engagement” developed higher levels of conceptual understanding than thosein “traditional” instructional settings12. Active learning grounds the SCALE-UP projectat North Carolina State University13, many of the integrated engineering curricula thatemerged in the 1990’s14, and some of the emerging

fields of science andengineering degrees. In a study conducted in 2004, he found that over 40 percent of recentscience and engineering graduates attended community college at some point in their educationalpathways. Tsapogas (2004), among the 1999 and 2000 science and engineering (S&E)graduates, almost half (or 44%) had attended a community college sometime during theirpostsecondary education career prior to graduating.Women in STEMThe literature on women in STEM highlights the not only the underrepresentation of thispopulation but also the urgent need to increase the number of women pursuing STEM areas ofstudy. While the percentage of women enrolling and obtaining bachelor degrees is at an all timehigh, the percentage of individuals

each ‘deliverable’; each document or presentation that would be evaluated. ProfessorO___ noted that during his time as a coach, this format left students focusing on eachindividual deliverable but overlooking the project as a whole. Professor O___’s solutionwas a document that gave a project overview, and then individual documents for eachdeliverable. Page 15.1209.6Several formats for the overview were considered, with various level of detail. Oneimportant element that all team members agreed upon was the necessity of anintroduction that linked the project to ‘real world’ work, giving students an understandingof the usefulness of the projects.
