Our success storyresulted through this change in directions is described in our result section.ImplementationsThe Summer STEM Camp includes the following nine technical sessions. The technical sessionsare divided in two major categories, Science and Engineering. In the Engineering sessions wehave covered five different fields of Engineering as provided below.(1) Computer Engineering: Playing with Robots(2) Civil Engineering: Traffic Signals(3) Mechanical Engineering: Gears(4) Chemical Engineering: Battery and Fuel Cell Technologies(5) Electrical

Although coalition members developed a number of AM best practices [12-20] the coreof this paper is the evaluation of TTS as a unique tool for AM education. Overall, TTS is alearning approach designed to give hands-on instruction to AM instructors [3-4]. Webinars andMOOCS were also used to teach content and engage with AM educators. TTS sessions were heldbefore and during the Fall of 2019 in several states. Evaluation of the TTS was ongoingthroughout their delivery. The main coverage points of TTS-based AM learning were as follows. • Build your own printer, operate it, print some entrepreneurial parts and learn the key maintenance steps

We then examined the relationship between the characteristics of their laboratoryexperience and their self-reported frustration level.The factor that was most often cited as a cause of frustration was difficulties with equipment andtroubleshooting, followed by difficulty with concepts from the theory, and confusing labdocuments. In fact, in the two laboratory sessions where the

century.Engineers in Non-engineering CareersMany engineering educators tout that “engineering is the liberal arts degree of the 21 stcentury” because it provides students with the strong technical and problem solving skills thatare needed in many fields2. Many of our graduates may go on to do things other than technicalwork, but that is all right, and in fact should even be encouraged, because we need lawyers,economists, doctors, financiers, and others with engineering background - Marshall Lih,Director of the National Science Foundation’s Division of Engineering Education and Centers 3.In the U.S. liberal studies in the form of courses in the humanities, social sciences and scienceshave been an integral part of engineering education.

Projects selected by the students are usually reviewed to insurethat they are appropriate and feasible relative to the qualifications and interests of the interns. Aresearch mentor is then identified for each student selected and is committed to the interns’experience. The director then notifies applicants of their selections. Once all the students havebeen selected, an orientation meeting is held at MSU before leaving for their assignments.

Several approaches involving requiring interdisciplinary projects in capstone or upperlevel division courses with traditionally closely related fields such as electrical and computerengineering have been implemented in many computer science programs and discussed inseveral scholarly publications9-11. Additionally, the computer science major has several commoncourses with electrical and computer engineering majors such as digital fundamentals, computer Page 22.570.2networks, artificial intelligence, and computer organization.

After an academic yearNetLogo follow-up session over 75% of the K12 teachers were satisfied with instruction andsupport. Over 85% of teachers believed that the workshop "stretched teacher thinking into theirclassrooms.” Teachers’ qualitative comments are included for triangulation. Conclusionsinclude that intense K12 teacher exposure to engineering CS topics (e.g. 24 hours total of alarger PD) is not enough to truly enact meaningful classroom changes (although the teachers didcreate new activities). Additional support for meaningful classroom change and K12 teacherconfidence is necessary. In general, K12 teachers need (and

against this backdrop that we consider the marketization of UK HE.Marketization within HE has led to behavior similar to that observed in industry and resultedin division of labor and increased levels of specialization [9], with departments becomingbusiness units and staff being discouraged (and in some cases prevented) from teaching andsupervising research students within other departments. For academic staff, large studentnumbers, alongside increases in quality assessment exercises has led to increased workloads.Marketization of HE within the UK can be considered to have begun in the 1980s whensubsidies for international student fees were removed, the funding of research and teachingwas separated, and research became selectively funded [10
