require a paradigm shift in re-conceptualizing their role as a teacher. Due to this difficulty, tapping both individual andcollective capacity are best within the context of professional learning communities (PLCs),which are characterized by shared norms and values, reflective dialogue, de-privatization ofpractice, collective focus on student learning, and collaboration. These PLCs set the foundation,so teachers can begin inquiry into their practice in a new way for increased student learning.The integration of Professional Learning Communities and Project-Based Learning serve toaddress the issues discussed above. Currently, the North Texas STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering and Math) Center is collaborating with the Waco Independent School

point to the fact that the world is headed for certain doom because of the perceivedshortage. “Airbus Seeks 500 Engineers: Company having trouble finding applicants inEurope,”1 “U. S. Aerospace Industry Facing Labor Shortage,”2 and “Brain Drain Could GroundAerospace Production: Industry Task Force Offers Dire Warning if Workforce ChallengesAren’t Met”3 are but a few of the headlines that reflect this need. However, other headlines justa few years earlier indicated otherwise or that the cause of the lack of engineers was unclear. In2005, Bill Schweber wrote that there is “No Shortage of ‘Engineering Shortage’ Talk”4. At thispoint in time, the media was saying there were too few students in math and science and that theperception of engineering
