involveopportunities to react to practical situations and to feedback of any critical suggestions [e.g., 21].The preliminary findings as represented in the table indicate that a variety of thinking strategiesare generally not practiced across the STEM domains. From a practice perspective, althoughmathematical thinking is often assumed as needed in different STEM disciplines, improvingstudents’ mathematical thinking is traditionally left for educators and teachers in mathematics. Itis thus not surprising that discipline-based educators and teachers are in pedagogical silos andhardly communicate to each other about students’ thinking. One possible factor is that discipline-based thinking has traditionally emphasized the importance of a specific discipline which

The program consisted of a twoweek summer workshop and a one week summer workshop in the following summer.Academic year follow-up included one day workshops and in-class support by universityfaculty, staff and graduate students during the implementation process in the classroom andprogram assessment. In addition, a peer-learning electronic community was established, forcommunications among teachers and university personnel, and for online professionaldevelopment activities.Teachers were provided with intensive professional development to train them in how tointegrate the pre-engineering

Usually, students will not take any courses towards their academicaccomplishments during the summer when they are engaged in research. They will work 40 hours perweek for the 10-week or 8-week

They learned state-of-the-artdata analysis methods to identify opportunities to reduce energy demand. Totranslate their research into curriculum, science education faculty from CSATSengaged teachers in professional development focused on engineering practices.Weekly sessions supported teachers in identifying engineering practices that weretranslatable to secondary classrooms.
