quality and impact of an implemented project based on the students’ finalpresentations, including corrections of the collected results and conclusions. Proposedsummative evaluation questions include: • To what extent did participants use what they were taught in their own activities? • Which topics and techniques were most often (or least often) incorporated? • To what extent did participants share their recently acquired knowledge and skills • To what extent was there an impact on participating students? Have STEM faculty become more (or less) positive about integrating experiences and making such experiences an important component of their student’s future career? • Did changes occur in the overall perception and

(computerassisted design) allows engineers (and students) to build and test virtual prototypes beforecommitting resources to physical prototypes (e.g., Klahr, Triona, & Williams, 2007). As K-12education seeks to provide the foundation for a generation of students who can pursue careers inengineering if they desire, students need to become familiar with and confident engaging not justin science and engineering practices but also to use physical and digital tools that facilitatesuccessful problem solving (Wang et al., 2011). A previous review of the literature identified keydigital technologies that teachers should incorporate and/or students should learn to use as part ofauthentic engineering opportunities (see Maeng & Gonczi, 2020). These include

sustainability are dependent uponone’s ability to change intentionally. Such growth may be difficult for some, and the challengesto individual development may be hindered by personal, career, family, and psychological issues,as well as a dysfunctional relationship with time or technology.2 Some psychologists, likeMaslow3 and Rogers,4 as well as engineers Adams5 and Petroski,6 suggest that barriers to growthare related to a variety of personal limitations or insecurities. Bigda-Peyton7 suggests that“humans have inherent [psychological] tendencies to destroy and use up” and that “harmfuloverconsumption occurs when psychic structures dominated by destructive instincts succeed inoverpowering life-sustaining impulses” (p. 264). Academia often deemphasizes

Furthermore, CSM’s location with respectto this economic activity allows many LIFG students to

renewable energy-based nanotechnology education module that is focused on the development of next-generationsolar cells. This specific topic was selected due to the rising interest of early-career engineers inadvanced energy conversion technologies. Furthermore, the local expertise regarding thisspecific form of solar energy conversion allowed for a complete, yet simplified, picture of thefundamental scientific and nanotechnology principles to be communicated to the FYE students.That is, by having a technical expert that was both familiar with the utilization of quantum dotsolar cells and the FYE program at Purdue, a clear overlap in student abilities andnanotechnology relevance was established.Quantum Dot Solar Cells.
