However,not every student is provided with opportunities to engage, learn and achieve in STEM subjectareas. Engineering topics are further excluded from curricula when the focus is on Science andMathematics. The Public-School District involved in this study has 35,000 students and 75% ofthem are from under-represented minority communities. Over the years, the schools offering ahigh school Algebra-based Physics course decreased as a larger number of schools faced staffing,scheduling, or other issues.

Ethical and Honesty Issues of Web-Based On-Line Courses Compared with Traditional Classroom Courses Harry C. PetersenA number of Manufacturing Engineering Technology classes have been offered both on-line and,in other different years, as traditional face-to-face classroom presentations. Thus we had theopportunity to compare on-line and web-based courses. This paper discusses how issues ofstudent honesty and copyright laws proved to be more problematic for web-enhanced and on-lineclasses. We found that material placed on-line requires significantly more time to apply and re-apply to receive copyright permission, while most printed materials, DVD’s, and samples can beeasily

The United States population and workforce are becoming increasingly morediverse, yet underrepresentation in STEM fields persists. Broadening participation in STEMgraduate education can both increase diversity in the STEM workforce and productivity ofresearch labs, since research has shown that more diverse research teams are more productivethan those who are homogeneous.This paper examines how an interdisciplinary graduate traineeship approach can stimulatediscovery, educational benefits, and workforce development, and also recruit, retain, and

Therefore he had latitude to appoint whom he might think wasmost suitable to teach the summer courses.In 2002 summer, the electrical engineering (EE) program offered nine (9) courses and theelectronic engineering technology (EET) program did not offer any courses at all.
