four learning scientists at the leading campus (TAMU) have worked in collaboration over two years on two objectives. One objective is to create an online textbook for teaching energy and its sustainability to all college majors. To provide the most meaningful and relevant information to students from all majors in their courses, our five professors, who are experts in their fields, are authoring an online textbook with embedded dynamic content that can be frequently updated according to emerging technical developments and sociopolitical, economic, and environmental events. To assess the pedagogical merit of the developed textbook, as our second objective, we identified several instruments and administered them at the

It is this context that informs the surge in popularity of “evidencebased practice” across STEM education, with grave consequences for the field of engineeringeducation research and for liberal education efforts in engineering.This paper first examines the history and epistemological roots of evidence based practice,beginning with the field of medicine, where randomized controlled field trials are the sine quanon of validity and rigor.

In this curriculum, picture books are coupled with a designchallenge that engages students in authentic activities designed to foster their understanding ofscience and mathematics. The development of three integrated STEM modules was informed bySTEM integration research, which defines STEM as the purposeful merging of science,technology, engineering, and mathematics applied to solve real-world problems (Breiner,Harkness, Johnson, & Koehler, 2012).

Despite women outperforming men on the Science Performance (PISA) test, a STEM basedassessment offered to high schoolers, a staggering 60% of women exit engineering careers, citing issuesrelated to pay and promotion disparities (Morera et al., 2019).
