Both upper- and lower-division students also commented on the lackof diversity, leaving comments such as “Engineering, as is, is a profession that attempts to beexclusionary discipline [sic].

software, there comes a perplexing problem. How does one balance the teaching of the basic concepts of a discipline and also teach complex software? If you concentrate on the software, students may become proficient but dangerous software users. They will not know its proper applications or the reasonableness of their solutions. If you concentrate on basic concepts at the expense of the software, students are not being exposed to the most efficient and effective tools of the respective discipline. The author teaches courses in Engineering Graphics in which Computer Aided Design (CAD) software is an essential and integral component of the discipline at the entry through advanced levels.

The key results of the teacher focus groups were: • Instrumentalist approach to study and module choices. • High demand for accountability in marking schedules. • Studying to a perceived “expected answer”. • Confirmation that NCEA had resulted in a more modular (i.e. less integrated) approach to learning. • Identification that the new NCEA Physics Curriculum places less reliance on mathematical ability. It was now not possible to achieve a pass in an NCEA module without being able to adequately answer “explain” type questions. This represents a major departure from previous curricular practice.Predictors of SuccessThe key factors that lead to success in this course were investigated by

These goals are rooted in effectiveSTEM education, which seeks to build a cognitive and skill-based framework for students’ learn-ing. However, how to build an effective STEM education model and associated curriculum is stillan open topic. Widya et al. [16] have presented three implementations of STEM Education modelsas “SILO”, “Embedded,” and “Integrated”. In the SILO model, each subject is isolated, and theteacher leads the classroom to teach rather than to help students learn by doing. The Embeddedmodel is based on real-world problems and applications; however, students may not be able
