The results of this study suggest that the roboticsprogram based on the guided discovery approach is successful. The success of this program ledto a follow-up study to measure students‟ perceived math and engineering ability, difficulty,STEM attitudes, and intentions to obtain good math grades. The second study indicated thatmany of the positive outcomes of this program persisted six months later.BackgroundScience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the United Statescontinues to garner national concern.1 A National Academies

endeavor, but finding efficient ways for K-12 teachersto effectively convey these concepts and for students to retain their knowledge has been achallenge. To meet this need, Northeastern University’s NSF-funded CAPSULEprogram was developed as a professional development program that guides STEMteachers to learn how to use and implement engineering-based learning (EBL) in highschool classes. Content included are the engineering design process, CAD modeling,capstone projects, and action plans for the academic year. Two JQUS teachers (math andtechnology) attended the summer 2010 CAPSULE program and implemented actionplans during the 2010-2011 school year.This paper covers the details of the JQUS math and technology CAPSULE curriculumand implementation

ProgramEntrepreneur Scholars (E-Scholars) is a select group of undergraduate students who create newbusiness ventures or develop and implement strategies to improve existing enterprises. Studentsin the E-Scholars program develop their entrepreneurial mindset. They learn how to come upwith innovative ideas and develop realistic business plans around them. Through requireddomestic and international travel they also learn how to do business anywhere in the world.E-Scholars commit to an academic curricular program, taking three three-credit entrepreneurshipcourses during their junior year. Students apply during the fall semester of their sophomore yearthrough a process that requires references, interviews and an essay describing the mutual benefitof their

Together, student veterans and servicemembers (SVSM) are a unique yet understudied student group that comprises substantial numbersof those historically underrepresented in engineering (i.e., due to race, ethnicity, gender, ability,orientation, etc.). That, in combination with technical interests and skills, maturity, life experience,and self-discipline, makes SVSM ideal candidates for helping engineering education meet thesedemands [1,2].

Workshop topics were selected from student focus groups and representativetopics include time management, LinkedIn, resumes, negotiation, career fairs, interviewing, andalumna panels. Each mentor/mentee pair also meets one-on-one three times a semester forunstructured mentoring. LEAP hosts social events where both current and past LEAP studentsare invited to encourage networking and community building across cohorts. We believe thatmentoring is one approach to cost-effective professional development; therefore, we plan toexpand our program to all first-year students in the Honors Engineering Program.

This choice isheavily linked to their motivation and creativity. Consequently, the students take a lead innavigating the design process, learning and applying engineering tools (e.g. 3D modeling,prototyping, Arduino) to develop a
