During its first year of operation, the school applied for and received athree year grant from the Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP) that provided additionalresources to support its curriculum and faculty development. The school has a K-5 studentpopulation with no special enrolment criteria and definitely functions as a typical neighborhoodschool. It has more than 600 students and at least 3 classrooms at each grade level. Studenttalents and abilities are normally distributed and there is no grouping of mainstream students bysections, test scores, and/or perceived ability

This paper reviews commercially available products that can assist or automatically gradeassignments and provide feedback to students. First, each tool is categorized based on features.The categories include plagiarism checking, assignment feedback and rubrics, and annotatingwriting assignments. These categories are selected based on their broad applicability to highereducation STEM instructors. Then the tools in each category are summarized based on publiclyavailable data and free trials.

Students work in groups on a given problem and are given the responsibility todetermine and carry out what they need to learn and do in order to solve that problem withthe assistance of faculty. PBL programs generally exhibit the following characteristics: • Student-centered learning • Collaborative learning • Instructors as facilitators • Self-directed learning.In order to succeed in a PBL setting, learners must acquire skills in the problem-solvingprocess as well as the content of the course in which the problem is situated. Unfortunately,first-time PBL students often struggle with how to identify and

For universities with graduate programs and significant research endeavors, seniorcapstone topics can often be identified as those that, although have merit, are perhaps not largeenough in scope for a graduate student. Regardless the size of a school’s research activities,local industries can be a wonderful source of design topics. It’s a win-win situation since youcan get a terrific topic for your students and they can get free engineering; but sometimes it canbe difficult for a faculty member to meet these engineers and tap their design problems,especially if the faculty member is new to the area.Perhaps the best way to contact the industries is through the program advisory boards, butbeyond that it definitely requires

According to Sanders (2008), in the 1990s, the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) “SMET” was the shorthand for “science, mathematics, engineering, andtechnology” and an NSF program officer complained that “SMET” sounded too much like “smut,”that resulted in the new acronym “STEM” [1].
