Some of that workshould be simplified by community colleges and 4-year institutions and their programs. As analternative to using policy to increase junior level standing at the 4-year institution, Virginia, thestate in this study, invested in curriculum alignment across colleges. This alignment allowed each4-year institution the added efficiency of making one degree path per program for all the state’scommunity colleges. They then did the harder work to help create maps of the curriculum acrossa student’s associate and bachelor’s degree requirements so

In this paper, I demonstrate how an accessible andinclusive middle school mini-unit on fluid mechanics can be constructed using principles ofculturally-relevant pedagogy, community-based learning, and the Ambitious Science Teachingmodel. By doing so, I hope to push back against dominant perceptions about teachingengineering to young learners and offer an example mini-unit plan for other educators to adaptfor teaching aerospace or other relevant engineering concepts.Conceptual FrameworkThis mini-unit – playfully titled “Cool It!” – was developed using principles of culturallyresponsive and sustaining pedagogies (CRSP), community-based learning (CBL), and

Thus, to be self-aware is to beconscious of your beliefs, values, strengths, and limitations.Reflective practices [21], [22] allow us to observe a student’s development and engagement inthe course without relying on traditional academic work such as assignments, quizzes, andexams. Such traditional academic tasks generally confine students to memorize and repeat whatthey think will allow them to pass the course. Furthermore, traditional problem sets, quizzes, andexams allow very little self-expression from the students. Students are afforded little to no spaceto communicate their personal thoughts with the faculty without significant effort on the part ofthe student or fear of retaliation. To

They also demonstrated a special passion tofollow up their learning and take actions based on advancing their knowledge in their researchand creating their projects in upper level classes. This is interesting, in particular when onethinks about how they clearly did not like the subject to begin with. With all this in mind, wedecided to see how we could bring the same concepts and use of reflective thinking into theengineering classes. There were challenges, but the effort showed successful

LSA does this with the hope that in additionto being better able to advocate for their children, parents (many of whom are young themselvesand un- or under-employed) will see STEM in their own education or career path.
