InterviewsMSEN teachers, student participants, and mentors participated in either focus groups or interviewsto determine the program’s impact on the items outlined in the evaluation criteria. Semi-structuredinterview protocols were used to guide discussions with participants. Interviews and focus groupswere digitally recorded and transcribed. A reflective analysis process was used to analyze andinterpret interviews and focus groups.Test of Students’ Science KnowledgeA student science content knowledge assessment aligned to the instructional goals of the researchcourse was developed and administered at the onset and conclusion of each part of the course.S-STEM SurveyThe S-STEM Student Survey measures student self-efficacy related to STEM content
abilities of most high school STEM teachers. Pre-planning with these circuit boards was a significant factor in the project’s success (Appendix B).Results and AnalysisResults from the 2017 implementation cycle are presented in this paper; these results indicatethat the unit successfully met its three objectives. Results from the 2018 cycle, in which a fewimprovements to the unit were incorporated, will be included once they are available.Objective 1: Before starting the unit, all 59 students were given a survey with twenty statementsadapted from the Friday Institute highschool S-STEM survey [9], NGSS 21stCentury skills statements, and NGSSengineering design standards.

provides some information to explain thesituation, generalization of the data needs more study and over a longer period of time. In addition,some confounding factors such as evaluation methods and the skills of the teaching professors shouldbe carefully investigated. The next stages of this study will include the comparison of grades in othercourses taken in the department and outside for both groups. In addition, categorizing the transferringof students based on their previous major may reveal more correlations.ReferencesAustin, A. M., & Gustafson, L. (2006).
