Our curriculumrevolves around real engineering design projects for the Lwala (Kenya) Community Alliance.The curriculum is truly STEM integrated and is an effective model for school-wide STEM basedprogramming. This workshop will share the research results and curriculum from theseprograms, including the opportunity to participate in one hands-on engineering design project.We will also discuss the specific needs of girls in STEM, based on the literature. Tips forauthentic assessment of this work will be provided and links to standards made

the objectives? • EvaluationFigure 3: Generic Design ProcessThe Design Process for a course involves several steps that must answer some very basicquestions:• What are the objectives of the course? There are a lot of different things that could be defined as objectives for a course. They could vary a great deal but also could be applicable for different settings. For instance, a course could be directed mainly to provide (current, updated) information. A different focus would be to have as a main goal the development of very specific capabilities, not to acquire contents. Another possibility is to have a project- based class which goal was to learn teamwork and leadership skills

The appraisal consistsof the rater recalling examples of the employee’s performance according to content area andcomparing the actual examples to the content area behaviors. The closest comparison, in therater’s opinion, places the employee within the sequenced continuum of content area attainment[24].

After the encoding was done all our data was split by sentences and thenthey were fed into a Distil Bert masked language model. The word piece tokenizer for this modelwas trained using a vocabulary list of 35,000 words. By using the DistilBert transformer modelwe were able to train a masked language model based on words to achieve a Hit@5 of 34percent, Hit@10 of 35 percent, Hit@100 of 36 percent, and a perplexity of 1.04.

The mathematical model may berepresented early in the design process in tandem with the conceptual model. However, theaccuracy, detail, and rigor of the mathematical model will typically improve over time in thedesign process. Mathematical modeling and analysis are essential to engineering design yet,mathematical modeling is often treated as an afterthought or ignored in K-12 education1 .
