In this role, he helped develop a series of experiments for a freshman engineering course that explored introductory engineering concepts through chocolate manufacturing, and another series of experiments involving dissolvable thin films for a similar course. Alex is also the president of the Syracuse University Chapter of ASEE, and has been working diligently with his executive board to provide seminars and workshops for their fellow graduate students. Alex’s plans upon graduation involve becoming a professor or lecturer, specifically at a primarily undergraduate institution.Ms. Shelby Buffington, Syracuse UniversityDr. James H.

Though Practice 8 was demonstrated in Classroom B,there was little opportunity for it in Classroom A, so it was not included in the analysis.This review informed the decision to focus on practices 4, 6, and 7, which involve working withdata, explaining phenomena, designing solutions, and engaging in argument from evidence. Toanalyze the student data for these three practices, we broke them down into sub-practicesaccording to NGSS Appendix F [1] for grade band 3 to 5 (see Table 1).For each classroom, we coded for sub-practices first with the richer data

A few of the comments include; • My child's grade in science improved after attending NJIT last summer. She went from a B student to an A+ student. • She had B's last year and now she has all A's • She was placed a grade ahead in 7th grade math even though she is a 6th grader. Her grades did go down first term but are going back up.Seventy-four percent (74%) of the parents reported that their daughters’ attitude towards theirmathematics and science classes improved since attending the FEMME program in 2016.

Therefore, this study exploreshow a teacher used engineering language during the science- and mathematics-focused lessons ofan engineering design-based STEM integration curricular unit. Specifically, this purpose ofexploring how a teacher uses engineering language is represented two research questions: a)What engineering language does a teacher use during science- and mathematics-focusedlessons?, and b) When in each lesson and in what contexts is engineering language used?Theoretical frameworkIn Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory of learning, the principle belief is that one’s internalconsciousness is

Students told us how they took the new skills and information andbrought it to their classroom to discuss with a teacher.
