Future plans and goals are also discussed.IntroductionThe project presented in this paper focuses on providing a collaborative distance learninginfrastructure to high schools and community colleges in rural and underserved regions that alignwith the funding provided by a US Department of Agriculture Distance Learning andTelemedicine (DLT) grant.High schools and community colleges in rural and underserved communities often face greaterbarriers to providing the high-quality STEM education required to produce skilled graduatesprepared to enter the workforce [1]. School districts in these communities often face issues suchas technology gaps, lack of nearby resources, cultural challenges, small class sizes, and shortagesof STEM

3. When planning a project incapstone and hackathon environments, individuals or groups were selected to accomplishspecific categories of tasks such as frontend sub-teams and backend sub-teams. In some of thesesub-teams, further identification and divvying of tasks occurred. To acquire new knowledge andface new technology, Alex described breaking the task into smaller accomplishableprogramming tasks that built up to the original task’s main goal. Frankie mentioned that breakingthe task into smaller parts allowed for rapid prototyping of new components that once successfuland refined, could be integrated into the main project.Regardless the project, all participants use this technique to handle the challenges they face.

Fundamentals by Four Weeks Long EngineeringInnovation Summer ProgramAbstract: Preparing high school students for engineering disciplines is crucial for the sustainablescientific and technological developments in the USA. This paper discusses a precollege program, whichnot only exposes students to various engineering disciplines but also enables them to considerengineering as their profession. The four-week long “Engineering Innovation (EI)” course is offeredevery year to high school students by the Center for Educational Outreach, Whiting School ofEngineering, Johns Hopkins University. The EI program is designed to develop problem-solving skillsthrough extensive hands on engineering experiments and projects. A team consisting of an instructor

In this paper, the research base on learning styles andpsychological types will be outlined.Additional emphasis will be placed on the critical role that these approaches can play in terms ofScience, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology (SMET) education. Specific examples ofteaching and learning strategies that utilize these approaches and that have been designed for usein the science and engineering classroom will be shared. Central to each strategy is the fact thatwhen students’ individual style and/or type preferences are

analysis ofthe exam results shows that there is no significant distinction between hybrid learning andtraditional study. The survey results reflected the growth of students’ computer knowledge andthe acceptance of new technology application to today’s classes.It is believed that with continuously improving instructional videos, assessment methods, use ofup-to-date technology, hybrid design in the course will be accepted by more students, andprovide a more effective way of self-learning and interactive laboratory practice experience ascompared to traditional classroom style.References[1] A.

Being able to validate your results andideas, and cross-check your information with what experts have said and/or are saying in thetopic of study.Being skilled in technical writing not only gives you a way to communicate your results to yourfellow peers and experts in the field of study but to those outside as well. The art of masteringgood technical writing skills aids in academia for grant writing funding proposal packages andin industry for project bidding proposal packages, therefore the training must start now inundergraduate research.III.

Following this, during the last week of classes and final examination week, the teamsorally present their final reports to the class, and to the sponsors at their industrial facility.IV. ConclusionsThus far, the project results have met or exceeded the expectations of the industrial sponsors,students, and faculty. The process by which these deliverables are produced (See figure 1)provide direct and indirect benefits for all concerned. For the industry sponsor, a key benefit isthat the deliverable is most often put to use. This may mean taking action by implementing theproposed solution, avoiding costly alternatives previously considered, using new suppliersidentified by the project team, or even the re

-solidfluidization) is selected an example of the resources provided the TA and students. Thisexperiment was selected as an example for several reasons. First, the apparatus and instrumentalrequired for this experiment are simple and inexpensive. Departments interested in expandingtheir experimental repertoire for their laboratory could construct the experiment for less than$5,000. Second, this experiment covers technology that is directly relevant to many chemicalengineering applications, but is often only covered at a high-level, if at all, in undergraduatecurriculums. Fluidization technology is commonly used in the engineering field, with examplesranging from pneumatic conveying of solids to freeze drying of fruits to heterogeneous catalyticreactions
