The study in this paper focuses specifically on disciplinary migration that occursfrom the bachelor’s to the master’s for students whose undergraduate degree is in a Science,Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) field and whose graduate degree is in somefield of engineering, and sets out some characteristics of these students.Literature ReviewStudies have been performed to understand why students switch majors at the undergraduatelevel, especially in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields [1].However, no similar studies have been performed to determine why students switch majors at thegraduate level from what they previously studied in their undergraduate degree.

How can an under-resourced schooldistrict: (1) ensure all third grade children have proficient reading skills and meet grade-levelexpectations so that these children can do well in all subjects, including STEM; (2) provide theinterventions required through the Third Grade Reading Guarantee mandate with little to nofunding, and (3) provide children early experiences through STEM activities so they are inspiredto pursue a STEM career to meet future STEM work force needs and to give these children equalaccess to future in demand and high paying jobs?

becomes more ubiquitous in the U.S [1, 2], there is increasedattention on preparing teachers to lead engineering learning experiences in their classrooms.With the relative newness of engineering in the K-12 level, it is unsurprising that a majority ofK-12 teachers report not feeling prepared to teach engineering [3, 4]. While the field has hadnearly two decades of efforts at preparing teachers in engineering [e.g. 5, 6, 7], design principlesand guidelines are just beginning to emerge for teacher education in engineering. Most teachereducation initiatives emphasize familiarizing teachers with engineering concepts and helpingthem implement given curriculum [4, 8].While there is a general agreement in the literature that elementary teachers need to

and High School Students (Work in Progress)Introduction The need for qualified STEM trained people is on the rise. Economic projections indicatethat the United States will need more than one million more STEM graduates than what iscurrently being produced if the United States is to remain a leader in science and engineering[2,3]. However, an insufficient number of college students are pursuing degrees in engineering.Therefore, creating and recruiting interested future college students, especially females andethnically diverse students, is of high importance [1] One way to foster student enrollment inengineering is by generating interest in future college students as they progress through middleand high school.

, 2019 Early Career Elementary Teachers’ Evolving Choices for Incorporating Engineering into their Classroom (Work-in- Progress)Teachers in high-poverty urban and rural districts often face enormous pressure to improve testscores in mathematics and English language arts. Using instructional time for science andengineering is often perceived as a risky move, especially for early career teachers withprobationary status. New teachers in high-needs environments do not always feel at liberty toincorporate engineering activities into their classrooms, despite the growing number of teacherpreparation programs attempting to equip them to do so (e.g., [1],[2]).

The field requires leading teachereducators who are prepared to develop and deliver effective interventions in technology-enrichedenvironments in accordance with evidence-based practices to benefit students in STEMeducation [3].A primary reason for the discrepancy between the goals associated with appropriate technologyconsideration and current practice is a lack of teacher preparation [4].

The goals were: (a) tounderstand whether particular pedagogical support practices were effective in offering non-traditional students a program that enabled them to persist in engineering and science majors andto transfer to a four-year college or university, and (b) to determine if students’ propensity forinnovative problem solving influenced their use of pedagogical practices and ultimately, transferpersistence. The research targeted four research questions: (1) What are the patterns ofpedagogical practices that community colleges employ to enhance students’ transfer success inengineering and science?

This study is designed as an embedded exploratory mixedmethods study of current graduate engineering students and recent non-completers that seek toanswer the following research questions: 1. How do graduate students at various stages in their PhD programs in engineering perceive the role of academic writing as it relates to academic socialization and success in future academic careers? 2.

Learning can be categorized into several distinct modes of engagement includinginteractive (I), constructive (C), and active (A) learning, as well as passive (P) learning accordingto Chi’s ICAP hypothesis [4]. The ICAP hypothesis suggests that interactive engagement, whichencourages students to interact with their peers or technology in a constructive, discussion-basedmanner, results in the largest learning gains, though all active modes of learning lead toimproved student performance compared to passive learning [1, 4].
