junior and senior students are required to complete. Thefirst one focused on why students choose their particular project. The reasons for choosing aspecific project were varied, showing every survey participant had their own reason for choosingtheir specific project. Most students choose their specific projects because they were interested inthe topic. Other responses included friends, time, complexity, the advisor(s), and potentialbenefits. Questions in this set also targeted what skills these clinics have improved. The mostpopular responses were technical competence, teamwork with 22.10% each, then communicationat 21.55%, professional skills at 18.78%, and leadership at 14.36%.

The Smithsonian Science Education Center projected that over 2 million STEMjobs will go unfulfilled in US in 20183.According to the latest report by the National Science Board (2019), not much has changed on thenational Science and Engineering (S&E) landscape since 1995, especially in case of underrepresentedminorities (https://nsf.gov/nsb/sei/edTool/explore.html). In 1995, 32.4% of all freshmen entering a 4-year college intended to pursue STEM. By 2012, a 13% increase was registered in the number ofprimarily non-African American freshmen intending to pursue STEM. However, this numberremained flat at around 36% from 1995 to 2012 for African
lendtowards basic electronic design. An analog circuit is designed to produce a given voltage orcurrent output. Digital circuits are circuits that utilize logic, relying on 0’s and 1’s (off’s andon’s) rather than specific analog levels. A microcontroller is the brain of an embedded systemand can be programmed with code to perform a particular function. The combination of analog,digital, and microcontroller devices create an embedded system. For engineering students,learning both these subjects are beneficial due to the integrative nature of circuits in manyengineering applications.A typical introductory digital circuit device is the Arduino Uno. An Arduino utilizes amicrocontroller to implement digital circuit applications. To immediately begin

They also need to recognize that the technical jargon that poses an extralayer of difficulty for linguistically and culturally diverse student populations can be systematicallytaught. Also, and certainly not least of all, teachers need to recognize that informal and out-of-school STEM learning spaces can circumvent the challenges of restrictive school policies and thedemand for more time with students and opportunities to pool from existing funds of knowledgewhile involving parents and assimilating into the society. 10 References[1] L.

The use of university students, professors and technicalstaff can help US small businesses to significantly lower the cost of product development which can helpthem to be competitive against their global counterparts. It will also enable them to access world classfacilities and personnel to develop innovative and competitive products in term s of quality and price. Onthe other hand, universities will benefit from such collaborations by providing their students with real lifeindustry-based projects that will enhance their graduates’ professional and technical skills.

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

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
