societalneeds and social impacts, and teachers’ development in engineering education through hands-onactivities, provides better understanding of engineering education professional development forK-12 STEM teachers.Key words: STEM integration, precollege engineering education, professional development,STEM teacher self-efficacyIntroductionEducation policy and reform have placed a major emphasis on STEM college and careerreadiness for national economic success [1]-[3]. Integrated STEM approaches in K-12 scienceand math instruction can be more engaging and meaningful for students and often meet thecurriculum content and practice goals better than single-subject lessons. In addition, studentengagement and motivation increase in math and science classrooms

We are aware of fewer studiesinvestigating how race/ethnicity affects student team experiences in undergraduate engineering,but Cross and Paretti [11] find African American men report feeling hypervisible on their teams,needing to disprove negative stereotypes, and feeling less likely to develop close friendships withteammates.

improveSTEM education at the University of South Florida, a large, public university. The STEERproject, funded by NSF-IUSE, seeks to achieve this improvement by (1) advocating andincentivizing the adoption of Evidenced Based Teaching (EBT) methods in STEM courses and(2) facilitating change to a culture in which student-centered learning is valued within research-driven STEM departments. A number of synergistic thrusts have been implemented to supportthese efforts and include:(1) Facilitating and Incentivizing Adoption of EBT Methods: Faculty can apply fordevelopment grants to incorporate EBT methods into their course. They can apply for travelgrants to learn more about adopting EBT within their discipline. A peer observation programplaces STEM

These results indicate that although teachers see thesignificance of funds of knowledge in engineering, the teachers and teaching practices are stillembedded in a deficit-oriented educational structure that may prevent some of these changesfrom occurring.IntroductionWith the emergence of the Next Generation Science Standards [1], middle school teachershave been called to integrate engineering into their classes.

This paper seeks to simplify theintroduction to the topic of First Order Differential Equations into something that is clear and easy tocomprehend. To accomplish this, the paper starts with a visual background of first order systems and anexplanation of exponential growth vs. exponential decay. It then moves into (1) electrical examples,including the charging rate of cell phones and the idea of transient response in electrical systems such asRC and RL circuits, (2) electromechanical examples, including DC motors and heat transfer rates ofdifferent types of stoves, (3) various topics from other

These results will inform future data collection and analysis as we return to in personlearning to better distinguish the impacts of exam and learning formats on diverse students’anxiety and academic performance.IntroductionThe role of anxiety on performance of mathematics has been explored by many researchers overthe years. Numerous studies have correlated increased anxiety levels to more frequent errors incomplex math problems [1–4]. This led to the concept of processing efficiency theory, whichsuggests that anxiety occupies some of the “working memory” that an individual has forperforming mental calculations, leading those with higher anxiety to have less available mentalresources to perform the task and thus perform poorly.

Due to no-slip boundary condition, the velocity of thefluid that is adjacent to the surface of the body is zero. The velocity of the fluid eventuallyreaches the free stream velocity as the vertical distance increases (Fig. 1). The vertical distancefrom the surface to the point where the local velocity is 99% of the free stream velocity isdefined as the boundary layer thickness [4].

Overall, 104 faculty completed this survey. Based on the number of COE faculty inSpring, 287, this equates to a confidence level of 95% with a margin of error of 8%. Because ofthis low margin of error, we can be fairly confident that this survey is representative of thefaculty teaching in the College in Spring 2020.

In this paper, we share: 1) the ExSJ framework, 2) theinfrastructure, mechanisms, and activities we are using to apply this framework, and 3) thechallenges and complexities we are facing as we apply it. The foundational values of the ExSJ canbe applied to all engineering contexts, providing a platform for change that moves away fromnarrowly constructed and techno-centric epistemological approaches, and an expansion to engagesocial and environmental justice, humanitarian goals, peace, and sustainability in engineeringthrough equitable partnership exchanges.IntroductionIn 2019, seven faculty and staff members in the University of San Diego’s (USD) Shiley-MarcosSchool of Engineering (SMSE
