Sessions on Confidence in Teaching STEM-Related SkillsAbstractProfessional development programs for teachers involving hands-on research have been shownto improve student performance. However, the mechanisms by which this occurs are unclear.After preliminary investigation, teacher confidence appeared to be one metric that may beaffected by participation in our research program. Quantitative survey data fail to confirm thishypothesis, though. Qualitative essay data suggest external factors that impact confidence andthus our interpretation of survey data.1. IntroductionNational Science Education Standards established by the National Research Council in 1996suggest that science teachers “encourage and model the skills of scientific inquiry, as well

Since thefocus of this paper is the EET session, there are no comments here on responses for the IndustrialTechnology (IT) and Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) sessions.The first question asked about the level of technical information (see Figure 12). Three of theteachers thought it was about right for the EET session. One thought there was too muchtechnical material, but did not leave a comment to explain (question 10). Given the overallresponse, no changes to the level of technical detail are planned if this project is used again. Figure 12: Question 1 resultsThe second question was

The session will offerparticipants a chance to think about connections between APS research findings and soundeducational practices on their campuses, given campus-specific engineering programs, collegeculture, and student body. Participants will be introduced to a selection of APS results and a setof ―local inquiry questions‖ that have been informed by the APS research. These questions willbe used in the session to probe educational issues of interest to the participants.Overview of the Special SessionThe special session consists of three parts: (1) an overview presentation by the APS team; (2)smaller group discussions and guided activities around the local inquiry questions

The myth ofthe digital native has done more harm than good to the Millenial generation: It hasincreased older adults’ expectations about students’ baseline knowledge levels, and hasresulted in failure to educate students about topics that may greatly affect their futures. Itis time to base our curricula on research, rather than myth. The research reviewed so farshows that students need our help when it comes to social media, and social medialiteracy should be included in undergraduate college education. However, none of theprevious research has addressed the specific case of engineering and technology students.It is possible, that given their advanced technical skills, engineering and

Two of the five key activities identifiedby the Academy for improving the industry were: 1. Widespread deployment and use of interoperable technology applications, also called Building Information Modelling (BIM); 2.

Results of a 1999 survey from engineering graduates who have been inthe workforce from three to five years showed that "64 percent of these engineers' overall worktime is spent on some form of communication"1. In a 2005 study based on a focus group of 50individuals representing both academic and non-academic engineers, communicationcompetency ranked as the second most important engineering attribute, behind only technicalcompetency2.

. While believing strongly in the importance of this topic, the major reason given why more programs do not include leadership is that it is difficult to fit into the curriculum. With the rapid expansion of knowledge in all fields of engineering, and with the constraints on credit hours, leadership often takes a back seat. Those that are not providing leadership education are asking how this problem can be solved.It is clear that there is a need for leadership education for engineers based on requirements in themarketplace.
