Our program is fostering that students learn science and engineering DOINGscience and engineering.Results to date indicate the importance of placing teachers in the role of “students” and allowingthem to experience hands-on and minds-on inquiry-based activities as well as grapple withdesigning their own lesson plans in a peer group setting where they can brainstorm and receivefeedback. Therefore annually we hold on-campus one-week summer workshops in order to helpP-12 school teachers incorporate the developed experiments, ETKs and pedagogical practices5.To further promote the

Too much of STEM curriculum departs from humanities. This is definitely important professional development, as ethical decision making is overwhelmingly important for engineers.
