Engagement in Practice: Integrating Architecture and STEM through Community-Based Projects for High School StudentsAbstractThe City of Lubbock, Texas, is a rapidly growing urban area. A significant contributor to thisgrowth is Texas Tech University, a Hispanic-serving institution with an enrollment exceeding40,000 students and a statewide economic impact of $3.5 billion. As both the City of Lubbockand Texas Tech University continue to expand, the downtown area has become a focal point forrevitalization efforts aligned with the city’s Plan. In response to this initiative, the first authordeveloped a summer camp project to engage local high school students in community-basedarchitectural projects. The project

Thefirst and third meetings will last two hours, while the second and fourth meetings will last onehour. This will allow participants more time to receive an overview of the workshop during thefirst meeting, and to work on and share with other participants their broader impacts statements,mentorship plans, and safe and inclusive working environments plans – further described below– during the third meeting.Workshop participants will include influential researchers

These unexpected outcomes can stem fromthe inherent complexity of the system itself, unforeseen interactions within its components, orexternal contextual factors such as economic, social, political, and environmental influences.These issues often arise from interactions between system components and their broader context,leading to cascading effects or unintended behaviors that can undermine system objectives.

A computer simulation that accounts for all the physical effects that take placewithin a building, such as radiation, convection, thermal conduction, and phase changes, is calleda building energy model (BEM) [16].

They werealso instructed that they would be discussing their reflective writing with peers in-class.The second reflective metacognitive writing activity required student participants to reflect ontheir learning so far and to assess their progress toward their stated goals.

Co-curricular program evaluationis often complicated by a lack of resources for assessment, yet it is important that any significantco-curricular investment generates evidence to justify it. Without this kind of evaluation,leadership programs might be accused of delivering “Leadertainment” [5] – activities that areenjoyable, and might generate goodwill and profile for engineering leadership, but perhaps donot move the needle enough to justify the allocation of resources.This paper describes a program evaluation framework that has been introduced at the TroostInstitute for Leadership Education in Engineering (ILead) at the

It turns out that student-generated graphical representation (e.g., drawing, graphing) can also facilitate student learning [50] by promoting observational skills [51], invoking prior knowledge [52], and constraining inferences [53]. One way to incorporate drawing into the STEM curriculum is via the use of drawing boards that can enable students to draw plans or concepts related to a learning topic.Given the numerous examples of GSS technology and traditional learning tools being usedwithin classrooms, it is notable that comparative studies between GSS technology
