The College of Engineering hosted a “pre-orientation” program that familiarized students with the engineering curriculum and preparedthem to succeed in their freshman year through community building and social activities.Program participants showed significant positive outcomes in
moreengineers by the year 2022 [2]. In addition, the progressive retirement of the baby boomergeneration will result in the loss of just as many engineers, creating a need for more than amillion engineers to enter our workforce in the next five years [1]. Unfortunately, not enoughstudents are entering engineering programs in college and thus are not pursuing careers inengineering [7-8]. Two of the more critical reasons for this are the absence of engineering topicsin K-12 science, technology and mathematics curriculum [9-13] and the chronicunderrepresentation of women [8,14-17] and minorities [8,17-18].The Need for Effective STEM Education: Too many students lack an interest in engineering,due in part to a general lack of public knowledge about what

Many high schools are now offering curriculum choices inengineering and a few schools, many of them charter schools, center their entire curriculum onengineering or on science and engineering.2 These schools use curricular material that has beenpurchased, or sometimes developed in-house to meet

Teacher PD has been shown toimprove student achievement in science [14], and PD is considered imperative to the realizationof standards in curriculum [15]. Teachers are typically required to earn a certain number ofcontinuing education credits (CEUs) as part of their work contract. CEUs may be earned anumber of ways, including workshops and courses at nearby institutions, however this can beproblematic. One-shot workshops designed for teacher enrichment can be useful, howeverlonger-term PD programs are required to support standards which reach all students [15]. Thelimitations of the

It is hoped that the B.S. in Construction Management Degree will provide educational,research and outreach opportunities that serve both the needs of students and those of theconstruction industry.Introduction During the year 2005-2006 the provost of Lamar University recommended that the CivilEngineering Department consider establishing a construction management program. This wasdue, in part, because his previous institution had a successful construction curriculum. In June2006 it was believed that a number of local contractors were in a position to fund the program.The Dean of Engineering, therefore, decided to quickly develop a program and obtain

From the very large aspects of the universe (i.e. big bang cosmology andgalactic and stellar evolution) to the very small (i.e. the fitness of the chemical elements and thelife-codes found in DNA), the cosmos is so readily and profitably reverse-engineered as tosuggest that it may have been engineered in the first place.

; Pleasants & Olson, 2019). As an integratorof real-life STEM issues, engineering can also improve adolescents’ cognitive and problem-solving abilities (Burley et al., 2016; Bryan & Guzey, 2020), foster 21st-century skills (Bybee,2018), and facilitate positive STEM experiences that support their pursuit of future STEMcareers (McDonald, 2016; Yeter et al., 2016). More recent international studies (e.g., Van denBogaard et al., 2021) suggest that attributes like students’ STEM attitudes, interest, and exposureto STEM curriculum prior to entering higher education are important indicators (Savelsbergh etal., 2016).
