The purpose of this study is to examine theschool and personal factors that are significant to elementary students’ understanding prior toclassroom experiences with engineering.

Requiring students to research and complete this discussion allowed them to discover ways in which buildings are made sustainable. 2.

For each of these discussions, the students are required to include pictures of the building they are discussing.

In 2008, Cañada was awarded a Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP) grant by the U.S. Department of Education. The project, entitled Student On-ramp Leading to Engineering and Sciences (SOLES), aimed to increase the participation, retention, and success of underrepresented and educationally disadvantaged students interested in pursuing careers in STEM fields. Among the strategies developed for this project is the Summer Math Jam – a one-week intensive mathematics program designed to improve students’ preparation for college-level math courses. When the SOLES grant ended in 2011, the college received

Some studies suggest that analysis of internal forces isdifficult for students – leading to a series of errors commonly made by students.16 The emphasiswas on seeking feedback from students to learn how they used the manipulative, rather thanseeking to quantify their improvements.
