The female participants for the welding project were given time to design and drawout their plans. They then were given a class on set up of the MIG welding machines and giventime to practice welding on coupons. After they felt sufficiently comfortable with their skills, thestudents began to shape the horseshoes under the guidance of a technician. The technicians wereallowed to alter the students designs, if they felt welding would be too complicated. The studentsthen welded the pieces together creating a completed design to take home.

The university already had a prior relationship with one ofthe three CDCs and one of the out-of-school-time providers (OSTs) at the schools. As aconsequence, relationships had to be built between a broad network of community organizations.SABES was laid out to provide for a staged roll-out that would leverage the experiences of earlyadopters. The first year was a planning year. During this year, the curriculum was rewritten toalign with the NGSS framework and the first content-based teacher PD course, known as a“STEM Academy,” was developed. To provide expertise for teaching these STEM Academies,master teachers were educated through STEM certificates at local

STEP Grant– Funded InitiativesIntro / AbstractThe NSF STEP grant program was initiated by the US Congress with the goal of implementingbest practices that would lead to an increase in the number of students obtaining STEM degreesat institutions with baccalaureate degree programs. Our university’s Colleges of Science andEngineering were fortunate to receive a STEP grant in 2009 to improve freshmen retention andgraduation rates by working on notoriously high-loss courses in chemistry and mathematics andfacilitating undergraduate research opportunities in science and engineering. This paperdescribes the path taken in the implementation of these plans, and a major shift wheninstitutional priorities necessitated a change in focus. After developing

China, as the largest producer of engineeringgraduates in the world, has been encountering many challenges in the field ofengineering education and undergoing a series of engineering education reforms. Oneof the major problems lies in the oversupply of unqualified engineers and theundersupply of high-quality engineers [2]. Considering the challenges facing Chineseengineering education, the Chinese Ministry of Education (MoE) initiated the “Planfor Educating and Training Outstanding Engineers” (PETOE) in 2010 [3] and the“Emerging Engineering Education” (EEE) plan in 2017 [4]. Both programs target toproduce a large number of high-quality

ASCE volunteers valued librarians’ expertise inworking with youth and appreciated that they took the lead in planning program activities and logistics,which made it easier for volunteers to participate in outreach. Librarians acknowledged the dedication andenthusiasm of their ASCE partners and valued their content knowledge both because it exposed theirpatrons to real-life engineers, but also because it made library staff feel more comfortable presenting thistype of program

The model for top-down change is particularly suited to a small, rural statewhere a) n-values for gender related statistics at any institution may not be statisticallysignificant b) institutional relations allow for cross-state cooperation and c) size of theinstitutions allows for timely implementation and assessment of policies.
