This number is constantly growing for the overall population and is already close to100% for high school graduates. Most adults in industrially developed nations have a limitedunderstanding of basic sciences, yet they use a wide array of technologies at home or at work. Thislimited understanding of basic sciences does not prohibit them from being very productive users ofhigh-tech devices but only as long as the devices operate flawlessly.

Introduction Much research has been undertaken to understand and enhance one primary mission ofthe University as an institution: the education of students. The bulk of this work has focused onan interaction where students go to the University in its own context, whether that be a physicalpresence on a campus or through distance learning programs. In each case, the tone of thisinteraction is largely set by the culture of the University, comprised of values, expectations, andstyles of communicating. This approach may benefit many students, who will grow and flourishin the University context; however

The traditional pipeline of K12 STEMteachers relies on collegiate level STEM majors (and minors) who pursue teaching certification.In order to provide an adequate pipeline of teachers capable of teaching CS concepts, the currentK12 teachers in the pipeline should have CS professional development (PD) opportunities.

transform their instruction to amore integrated, project-based, hands-on, and student-centered approach4. Therefore,engineering has the potential to provide an entry point for teaching science in new ways. Thisrenewed emphasis on the application of science through engineering, as well as the newapproach to teaching science will require science educators to adjust their thinking.Along with new possibilities offered by engineering, it important to remember that it adds thechallenge of understanding a new, and often-unfamiliar, content area. Research has shown thatmany K-12 teachers are resistant and feel unprepared to teach engineering due to a self-describedlack of understanding and confidence.10,11 Wendell et al.12 and Lee and Strobel11 also found

This within-group differentiation appears to be grounded in fairly routine experiencesas a member of an under-represented group in a STEM field. Ironically, despite the clear disempoweringimpact that these experiences can have, there is also some evidence that they may promote thedevelopment of alternative value structures and feelings of purpose related to STEM fields for membersof underrepresented groups. 15ReferencesAlexander, C.
