The orientation is followed by weekly seminarsthroughout the year. The weekly seminars, particularly in the fall, discuss just in time topics such as preparingfor quizzes and exams, dealing with marginal student performance, student evaluations, classroom assessment,grading, active vs. passive learning, reflective teaching, etc. The orientation is directed at new faculty, i.e.,faculty at the university for three years or less. The weekly seminar series includes more experienced teachersas well. The goal is to encourage an exchange of ideas

The program has been used in school districts where the minority studentpopulation is low with the same lasting understanding of STEM topics. Within the universityarena, STEMM uses the second M for Medicine engagement to increase the number ofminorities in the medical fields [8].Most of the art and music additions have been in the K-12 arena and little work has been donewithin college level STEM programs to improve understanding using art or music. Most of thepossible enhancement has been through required General Education requirements where a STEMstudent can opt to take a freshmen art or music appreciation class.When researching into the

It has been estimated that close to 50% of the students whobegin their education in engineering do not follow through to the completion of an engineeringdegree [2]-[5]. Some studies have further documented that the propensity for engineeringstudents to attrit is particularly high during their first two years of college [2], [4].

During the ninety-minuteduration of the workshop, as many as five project activities, ranging from simple resistive circuitconfigurations to advanced transistor and RF circuits, were first outlined, then assembled andtested by the educators. Through participation in this workshop, PK-12 STEM educators wereexpected to gain the opportunity to identify new and/or revise laboratory activities within theirPK-12 STEM curriculum. Through these activities, PK-12 educators can introduce and teachPK-12 STEM students the use of engineering technology to solve engineering problems withdesign and cost constraints. The

Several sharing arrangements developed betweendepartments but these were somewhat haphazard and awkward to administer. In order to address the problemswith utilization and maintenance, a scheme for centralization of hardware, software, and maintenance wasdeveloped. This centralization was administered by the College and its goal was to provide the computercapacity (hardware and software) to support the computing requirements of all students at all levels. Thefunding source for these resources was a student technology fee which was implemented and

Overview of the Study STEM jobs are increasing and the US workforce will need more STEM workers in thefuture [1], [2]. “STEM occupations include computer scientists and mathematicians; engineers andarchitects; life, physical, and social scientists; medical professionals; and managers of STEMactivities” [3]. According to ISACA, the United States will need 1.4 million workers in computer-related fields in 2020 and the U.S. will only be able to fill 29% of those jobs [4]. With the increaseof STEM workers, research has shown that men outnumber women in the STEM field. Accordingto the National Center for Education Statistics, 36% of STEM bachelor degrees were
