Her research focuses on gaining a better understand of how students learn and apply STEM and computing content in their everyday lives. She is particularly inter- ested in the iterative design, refinement, and sustainability of curriculum and program development to support computing and STEM learning in formal and informal learning environments. She has designed and piloted a mobile application course for undergraduate non-CS majors through her participation last summer in the national pilot of the new AP CS Principles course. She is currently designing mobile application curriculum with MIT AP Inventor for 8th grade mathematics classes and middle

Except for Computer Science majors, few students will be required toprogram a computer in the rest of their undergraduate curriculum. Many will be able touse the spreadsheet, CAD, and math programs in their classes, but few will be requiredto, and some will be discouraged from doing so.There are some exceptions. Second year Mechanical Engineering students learnAutoCAD, and in their third or fourth years may learn SolidWorks, Pro Engineer, and/orSDRC Ideas. Students in Civil or Electrical Engineering will cover different CADprograms. In Chemical Engineering and Systems Engineering, simulation methods arerequired. A

and novice historians’ epistemologies uncovered three specific epistemic practices that set the foundation for a new curriculum called Reading Like a Historian. [29,34,45] The curriculum is now spreading beyond university walls and into American school districts. [42,45] Some of the guiding questions in this area include: How does the discipline organize its knowledge and knowing (e.g., into knowledge arrived at via formal or intuitive reasoning [27])? How do professionals in a discipline make and evidence their knowledge claims (e.g., in mathematics, computational evidence can sometimes suffice in lieu of deductive proof [43])? How

Development of routines across the curriculum isthe most effective means of providing the suite. Both MathCAD and Matlab have been used todevelop a suite of routines.
