coherent theme and progression from simple imaging casestudies to more sophisticated, state-of-the-art techniques. Our plans for solar imagingmodules include the following topical descriptions of each module: 1. Microstructure of Polycrystalline Silicon Wafers. Images of solar cells directly show the microstructure, particularly grain boundaries. Unlike metals, silicon reveals its grain structure without the need for any sample preparation. Students can apply many of algorithms (including ASTM protocols) used to parameterize microstructure from images. ASTM procedures using lineal and areal analysis, and similar methods, to determine grain size distributions and grain symmetry (e.g., equi-axed or elongated) will be

Thiscommercially available product acts as a shareable repository for contact information, contactlogs, “to do” lists, and document files the team has sent. The team’s plans for expanding the E2R2P effort involve recruiting and paying undergraduateengineering students to use contact lists provided by the alumni association, the career center,and other mailing list providers to place calls to practicing engineers in the workplace to collectdata. One source of data would be administering a short phone survey about engineering practicein the workplace. Another source of data would be conducting an online phone interview

Pathways in and out of the program are also scarce,influenced primarily by an assortment of required courses that fill much of student check sheets.In our plan to enact change to diversify the ECE department in terms of student make-up andconcentrations to choose from, identifying critical points in the student’s trajectory towarddegree completion was made the first course of action.To adopt a frame through which we can examine the curriculum, the idea of threshold conceptsproved to be an attractive foundation for the

She convinced them to change their plans for waterproofing the foundation whenshe realized that they would require someone to work at the bottom of an eight-foot trench thatwould bury them alive if the dirt collapsed. During her internship at the railroad firm where sheeventually took a permanent job, she similarly enjoyed thinking about the real world spacelimitations of the lightrail, and how its eventual location required not just enough space for theactual rails and cars, but space for people to work on it during installation and maintenance.Julie’s appreciation for the people who do the work of building and maintaining physicalstructures was cultivated through her own experiences helping her father with “constantremodeling” projects

It also revealed thechallenges associated with encouraging faculty to respond to surveys. A handful of facultyparticipated in follow-up interviews, giving feedback to help improve the surveys. The surveyswere revised, with national dissemination in spring 2016. The dissemination plan includes ASEElist serves and a targeted list of individuals who have publications and have received grantsrelated to macroethics education.

Thissummer 2020, one of the authors of this paper and a faculty in the School of Engineering will beworking also on another STEM project related to SVS. The project is a summer camp to high-school girls interested in STEM, in particular in engineering and engineering technology. TheSVS curriculum will be included as part of the camp planned activities. Finally, the authorsexpect that this experimental research strengthens the literature on SVS and helps

Mathematics and Family EngineeringMathematics and engineering situated within family’s decision making and activities allow forthe development of unique mathematical skills for the child. Families serve as effective learningsettings for students. Goldman and Booker posit that “parents are the primary, most committedand effective educators of their children”22. It is in this environment students may gain initialexposure to mathematics, engineering and problems solving in out-of-school settings throughbudgeting, grocery shopping, and family cell phone plan shopping22. Problem solving andtrouble-shooting that is situated in the family setting provides mathematically relevant problemsthat that each member can connect with22. Depending on the structure of

All of the concepts that are proposed as part of the project are based uponresearch findings from STEM education research (described below). The plan is todisseminate the MSE apps through the Apple App store, but currently they run only onour many iPod test devices during the development and testing phase of the projectbecause of Apple’s development licensing restrictions. At the conclusion of the project,all materials will be placed on the NSF sponsored National Science Digital Library(NSDL).While much is known about more effective practices in STEM education, many barriersexist to

are urged to develop a clear implementation protocol thatemphasizes the rationale for specific parts of the intervention; to institute training for implementersprior to the intervention that discusses how to handle planned and unplanned events that mayoccur; and to observe interventions to measure fidelity and produce fidelity calculations [13]. Indoing this, researchers should utilize a multi-perspective multi-method approach to assess fidelity(for example, both expert observations of implementers as well as surveys of student recipients toassess treatment receipt) [14]. Additionally, implementor competence (e.g., body language,warmth, ability to engage with participants) should be assessed [15]. Finally, fidelity assessmentdata should be
