She believes project- based learning holds significant potential for increasing the diversity of students who succeed in college and who persist in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, and she views her work with the Center as contributing to education reform from the inside out. She holds an M.A. in Developmental Psychology from Clark University and a B.A. in Psychology from Case Western Reserve University. Her background includes working in the field of education evaluation, where she focused primarily on the areas of project-based learning; STEM; pre-literacy and

They believe that the most successful approach for high schools is one that infusesthe high expectations and academic rigor of college preparatory academic programs with thereal-world relevance and rigor of career and technical education. Their approach can be carriedout through academies, which take several forms, including multiple career academies and otherthemed programs within a large school, single-themed schools, and early-college high schools.The Institute of Systems Engineering Research (ISER) is a department of Mississippi StateUniversity and is located at the Engineering Research and Development Center’s (ERDC)Information Technology Lab in Vicksburg, MS.

this toa three-year civil engineering degree are summarized in Table 6.A three-year accredited civil engineering degree would align engineering degrees in the UnitedStates with engineering degrees in Europe and other parts of the world. The degree would be lessexpensive and would enable students to graduate and enter the work force earlier. A possibleside effect of a three-year civil engineering degree is the creation of a “tiered system” within theprofession similar to physician assistants (PA) and physicians in the medical profession. Thecivil engineering profession has historically been challenged with the question of whether toallow engineering technology graduates to take the P.E. exam. A three-year degree may furthercomplicate the

Continually Challenged with Integrated Design ProjectsAbstractIntroduction: The undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) curriculum should preparestudents to confidently approach complex problems, as graduates will enter the workforce in anenvironment of rising healthcare costs, decreasing average life expectancy, and significantsocioeconomic disparities in health outcomes. With this landscape, solutions to contemporaryproblems will require innovative thinking and groundbreaking medical technologies, suggestingthat the future of BME will be increasingly design-oriented. BME curricula generally includelaboratory and project components aimed at preparing students for senior capstone; however,students may begin capstone

Problems withretention and gaining student interest early in the program led to the creation of three newcourses for 1st and 2nd year Mechanical Engineering students. In the first semester, students takethe course “Production and Manufacturing Processes”. The goal of this course is to teach thebasics of manual milling and turning, CNC milling and turning, welding, and injectionmolding/casting. Each student gets hands-on experience working with shop/lab equipment. In the2nd semester, students enroll in “Mechanical Engineering Design Technologies”. This

Concerns about the quality of STEM educationhave been fueled by high levels of attrition in STEM majors, particularly among women andstudents from underrepresented minority groups, as well as the need for a more scientificallyliterate citizenry.
