This may be promising news for the K-12 classroom, in that thisrequires the re-definition of what students do in the classroom, not the acquisition of additionalspeakers. Locating willing STEM speakers can be challenging; securing motivational speakerscan be close to impossible.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.0930257.

Here, the students will: o Conduct the research according to plans developed in week 1. o Meet once a week with the full group to review progress with peers and meet twice per week within subgroups to provide peer critique at subgroup and full group meetings and respond to feedback from full group during the following week. o Document changes in research plans as needed. o
subjects, which is arguably agood response; but when asked to specify her answer, she relays the traditional subjectsassociated with engineers. We believe K-12 engineering education has the chance to properlyeducate pre-college students on what engineers do, as well as, expand students’ understanding ofthe skills that qualify a good engineer. Five of the six participants knew practicing engineers (e.g. parent, grandparent, uncle,cousin). However, they could say very little about what the engineer(s) did at work. For example,when we asked one participant if he knew what his Chemical engineer parents did at work heonly offered a general response: I: Oh I’m sorry Um do you know what your parents do at work as engineers?

(Miguel) On my resume I have knowledge of AutoCAD and, yes, I learned that from my engineering degree [program] but I really (emphasis added) learned it from my summer internship when I worked with my mentor doing some CAD projects with AutoCAD mechanical. When you’re doing an AutoCAD design a lot of shapes are already built into the program so you’re creating the design for the electrical person to follow. It’s cool because I learned how to build the basic components myself. (Alexis)While

TTE REU was designed as an intervention for students so thatthey would have an opportunity to build their confidence and knowledge in science andengineering with the goal that this intervention would lead to more students transferring to abachelor program. As discussed by S. Artis4, TTE REU brings students from communitycolleges around the state of California to the University of California, Berkeley to complete a9 week summer research internship. The first week of the internship has the students goingthrough a “laboratory bootcamp” where the students learn lab safety, ethics

nature of the approached concepts presented both in physics and calculus books.For the physics examples, building since the beginning the idea of a vector component relative tovelocity is of an extreme importance, while for the calculus book it is not mentioned until later.Further observations on how each of the concepts around the idea of velocity are used during awhole class structure should be made. For example, with graphic representations made underboth mathematical and physical background. While both approaches may seem similar, seriousmatters are provoked.An example, often found in the classroom, happens when you ask students which object has ahigher velocity, one traveling at 5 m/s or one traveling at -5 m/s.
