Additionally, the fact thatstudents do not have to be physically present in the lab to perform certain assignments is wellreceived at institutions that serve part-time, commuter or distance learning students.

presented.IntroductionIn July of 2003, a feasibility assessment and preliminary planning process was initiated forcreation of an engineering program at ASU East Campus. This process resulted in a plan todevelop a new engineering program at ASU’s East Campus. The need for this program is drivenby the rapid population growth of the Phoenix metropolitan area, capacity restrictions at ASU’sTempe campus and at other state universities, forecasts of engineering student and industrydemand, and a desire to develop a polytechnic campus at ASU.Unlike many curriculum development or reform efforts, the development of this new programbegan with a blank slate. This has given the founding faculty team unprecedented freedom andflexibility in the design of this program, resulting

According to Kelly14 the advantage of interdisciplinary learning is to create understanding that will have been unlikely through a single discipline.

IntroductionTraditionally, the humanities have played a limited role in STEM education1; yet, there are naturalconnections between the humanities and STEM, which may be used to deepen students’ educationalexperiences2, 3. In the exploration of these links and modes of learning, the Texas Tech University(TTU) Honors College has developed an interdisciplinary curriculum that incorporates both the artsand the humanities and STEM. Unlike other iterations of this technique, namely STEAM, wherearts are included to help promote more creative problem-solving and innovative thinking, thisapproach uses the arts and humanities as the foundation and impetus for STEM learning. Thisapproach has been coined Humanities-Driven STEM (HDSTEM). HDSTEM provides studentsbenefits that

AbstractOne of the requirements for a teacher participant in a National Science Foundation (NSF)Research Experience for Teachers (RET) site is to convert the knowledge from the researchexperience into K-12 course curriculum. This motivates the teacher participants to actively thinkabout how to convert the university research knowledge into something understandable by K-12students. Each teacher needs to play a more active role in participating and drilling down into theresearch to effectively create new materials, rather than as a watcher or bystander of researchactivities. The course development usually needs to follow some curriculum standards such asNext Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in many states and Texas Essential Knowledge andSkills

Many faculty members are underprepared for theirinstructional roles [3] and do not have sufficient support in their teaching [4].
