educational system. A lack of fully prepared teachers and general teacher shortages arelimiting educational attainment of some students, especially those in the under-representedminority group. While the prevalence of technology within the lives of high school students isaccelerating, high schools continue to present STEM proficiency in a traditional fashion usingoutdated and uninspired laboratory instruction. This generally creates a lack of interest in STEMdisciplines among these students, which in turn results in low academic achievement and apathyabout STEM careers.The Smart City Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) and Research Experience forTeachers (RET) (SCR2) Mega-Site program is unique in that it combines the participation of

Education, 2021 Peer teaching research group model for upper level environmental engineering class with student-led lectures and journal article discussionsAbstractAn upper level environmental engineering class focusing on hazardous waste and air pollutionwas organized to mimic a graduate school research group. It is an upper-level required class forenvironmental engineering majors. In most weeks of the MWF class, a different student eachweek prepared a lecture and taught that week’s material on Monday. On Wednesday the facultymember followed this up with more explanation and clarification. Friday was a class discussionof a journal article related to the topic. The student would prepare the lecture a week or so inadvance and faculty member

participants’ unfamiliarity in one of the topic areas. This isespecially salient for the Analysis category, as the mean is known to be a more accessibleprocedure than e.g. the standard deviation [26]. This particular limitation complicates theinterpretation of the observed induced variability bias; this could be due to unfamiliarity withother possible statistics, a failure to integrate statistical reasoning with knowledge of materials,or other factors not related to participant educational background. However, given thegenerally-acknowledged poor state of statistics education [27], we believe this is a limitation ofinterpretation, not in the results themselves. The existence of an induced variability bias isproblematic, regardless of its ultimate
