addressthe tremendous challenges facing our state and nation. It is increasingly clear that teachers haveprofound and lasting impact on students’ learning. However if K-12 teachers are to help preparethe engineers of tomorrow, they themselves need to be supported to have their own experiencesin engineering and to develop ways of bringing that knowledge back into the classroom.This awarded NSF Research Experience for Teachers Program at Oakland University aims tobring the excitement and knowledge developed in engineering research from the lab into theclassroom so that teachers can move their students to envision engineering as an attractive andimportant career opportunity.It is our belief that in order for such an RET program to be successful, it

One student remarked that it has beeneye-opening to see different situations in the world outside of the US and how people are tryingto cope and find solutions.In sum, it appears that the Grand Challenges Scholars Program offers an opportunity to morefully expose engineering students to a global perspective that can shape their career choices inthe field.

Spatial skills are often used in STEM careers, such asthose in engineering and medicine, and have been positively correlated with increased grade pointaverages and retention in STEM-related fields, including math, engineering, computerprogramming, and science [1, 2]. Spatial visualization skills are learnable [1, 3, 4], but moststudents do not receive formal instruction in K-12 or at the university level. In addition, a particularlack of exposure to spatial visualization skills may explain why women

Because of disparities in test preparation between students from high- and low-income background the system has historically privileged the entry of upper-class students to theuniversity system [12], [13].

There are alternateviews, too, such as Han [5] showing clear evidence that early tracking increases educationalinequality; supplemented with weaker evidence that it reduces performance. Van Elk et al. [6]found that early tracking has a detrimental effect on completion of higher education for studentsat the margin of the Dutch high and low tracks, and the negative effects of early tracking arelarger for students with relatively high ability or students with a higher socioeconomicbackground.

Thetwo issues embedded in that question are whether graduates of engineering programs haveadequately learned the knowledge and skills needed for engineering careers, and whether ourgraduates want to use their newly gained knowledge and skills.Issues of students’ learning and motivation may best be detected at the course level, rather thanat the institutional one.
