The end goal of this partnership is to provide a teacher with theknowledge, tools, and confidence to implement an engineering and technology curriculum intheir classroom.In this paper we examine teachers’ reactions on their participation in STOMP. We specificallylook at teacher perceptions of STOMP, experience and comfort level in teaching STEM content,and their shear interest in the STOMP program. We also examine a need and rationale behind athree-phase model in which STOMP has a sustainable impact on a teacher’s ability to implementSTEM curricula.Results of this study show that STOMP has raised teachers’ confidence in teaching andknowledge of engineering and technology content. These results support the use of a three

Use of technology in the context of science teaching and learning can also helpteachers perform inquiry-based teaching so that students can have meaningful learning experiences[4—6]. In a recent effort, we developed and conducted professional development (PD) workshopsfocused on using robotics technology to provide a supportive opportunity and environment toteachers to experience the use of robotics in classroom teaching and to lower their perceivedapprehension about its classroom integration.

FLC formation and activitiesFLCs are a transformative practice in which faculty participate in groups of usually between sixand 15 members, to generate an actionable goal or product [10],[11],[12]. They are based on thepremise that universities are places of learning for all, including faculty, and can be a way tofoster collaboration [12]. FLCs have been demonstrated as valuable for cross-campuscollaborations [12],[13], faculty development [14], curriculum development [15], generatingteaching resources [16], and scholarship of teaching and learning [14],[17],[18].

Although this skill can betaught and assessed, the results of past surveys show that engineering students are inadequatelyequipped to meet this need.This need is addressed by teaching and assessing the three pillars of engineering communication:written, oral and graphical through a series of lectures, activities and group assignments. Forinstance, a series of biweekly group assignments, designed to assess and improve the three pillarsof engineering communication are woven into the project-based curriculum, culminating with afinal project exhibition and written reflection.

The interplay between theoreticalknowledge and practical application in data proficiency is also a critical area of investigation.Preliminary evidence suggests that how students engage with data may be as important as the dataskills themselves [9]. This aligns with broader research on experiential learning in engineeringeducation, which emphasizes the value of hands-on, contextual learning experiences [10], [11]. 1This paper, representing the second phase of a larger study, investigates how different aspects ofdata proficiency influence engineering identity among

The instrument is in the form of aquestionnaire and it was administered to 39 female students in their freshman and sophomoreyears in an engineering college in the Arabian Gulf. The results showed that there was very littlevariation between the two levels of students, indicating that the issue of developing students’epistemic beliefs needs to be addressed more thoroughly.
