surveys and interviews confirm that dispo-sitions are as crucial for success in the workplace as the knowledge and skills students develop intheir academic programs of study. As such, the CC2020 report describes eleven dispositions thatare expected of competent computing graduates. These are distinct and separate from the technicalknowledge and disciplinary skills of computing and engineering. Dispositions are also distinctfrom baseline or cross-disciplinary skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork,and communication. In contrast, dispositions are inherently human characteristics that describeindividual qualities and behavioral patterns that lead to professional success. Dispositions arelearnable, not necessarily teachable.This

Research for this paper has resulted in noexamples of university makerspace co-op programs. As defined by the University of Houston(2017), “cooperative education…is a type of internship program that enables college students toreceive career training with pay as they work with professionals in their major fields of study.”Rather than offering cooperative education experiences, makerspaces tend to focus oncollaborative experiences, emphasizing knowledge-sharing, co-working, and a strong sense ofcommunity.

Despite the rise in interest in integrated STEM education, there is little research on thequality of STEM curricular materials and professional development opportunities for teachers tosuccessfully integrate STEM. This study provides evidence for the impact of a professionaldevelopment program that aims to provide opportunities for teachers to explore STEMintegration and develop their own STEM units. Thus, the study findings have implications for thedesign of new STEM education professional development programs for teachers. First, teachersneed opportunities to learn new knowledge and skills to implement integrated
