Similarly, Madison devised anIntroduction to Engineering Design course with outcomes for students such as: carry out a basicdesign process, learn and use skills in a team environment, and develop confidence, amongothers. While some students find these courses very motivating, others still leave for differentreasons [10].Another approach to STEM retention and success was put into action by Grand Valley StateUniversity. The results of this NSF funded S-STEM project have been remarkable, with nearly100% of “at risk” students finishing their degrees in a timely manner.

In general, the two participants in this pilot study assessing the feasibility ofthe intervention were satisfied with the DIY interactive digital whiteboard, and theystated their beliefs that these tools could be useful in the classroom. This pilot studyshowed there is value in performing additional research examining teachers usinginnovative educational technologies to build affordable DIY digital teaching tools for theclassroom. Results from this study suggest it is possible that with the proper supportspreservice teachers might build DIY interactive digital whiteboards, and this maypositively influence their interest and engagement in teaching.Bibliography1.
