This study resulted ina list of the top 20 STEM occupations with the greatest shortages of candidates, and almost halfof them are in computer occupations [4]. The average projected annual openings in IT-relatedfields between 2016 and 2026 is about 1185 in the Middle Tennessee area alone [5].

In order to analyze if the SfT initiative is having this desired positiveimpact, it is necessary to clarify two components that structures the framework of theprogram: what is STEM/STEAM education and what are out-of-school time activities andprograms.For the purpose of this work, STEAM-oriented out-of-school-time programming will bedefined as a voluntary and structured framework conducive to learning STEAM contentsoutside of the formal in-school frame. In this definition, STEAM learning is themultidisciplinary integration of all the subjects – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts andMathematics – that leads to the development of real world solutions to relevant problems in

theexam.Criterion validityCriterion validity means that a test has predictive power. It would be interesting if FE scorespredicted performance of engineers in the real world but no study along these lines has beenreported. Given that the FE mostly assesses ability to perform simple calculations, it seemsunlikely that it is a good predictor of real-world engineering competency, which involvescomplexity and ambiguity, and requires broad professional skills [23, 24].SummaryThe FE is not a sound psychometric instrument. Its reliability has not been demonstrated andthere are reasons to doubt its validity. Although criterion-referenced data is most useful forprogram assessment, FE scores on subject matter reports are norm-referenced, limiting the facevalidity of

. Additionally, there is evidence of bias in peer reviews, showing that a female postdoctoral applicant had to be significantly more productive than a male applicant, helping to explain the lower success rate of female scientists in achieving high academic rank. While biases do change, the recent research studies show that gender stereotypes are clearly still at play.  Recent research on marriage and family responsibilities, show that women are at a disadvantage if they have children17,18. In business and industry both women and men identify family responsibilities as a possible barrier to advancement, but women are affected differently than men by this “family penalty.”19,20 Among women and men with

is for each instructor to create their own unique assignment problems,whose solutions are not available online. This is an extremely time consuming and tediousprocess for instructors, which not only involves the rigor of creating problems that make sense,are reasonable and realistic, year after year, but also developing solutions to each of theseproblems. Consequently, to circumvent the problem of students cheating on homeworkassignments, we have developed a continuous classroom evaluation technique which involvesgiving quizzes in real-time during classroom hours which allow students to work in groups andto ask for hints from the instructor. This creates an environment where it is very challenging forstudents to plagiarize material and also

).Elementary students, as novice engineers, differ greatly from the populations usually discussedin studies of engineering design. For instance, Bucciarelli’s work on object worlds (2002)characterizes the complexity of communication in interdisciplinary design teams of expert adults.How does this translate to the case of children designing together? Roth, in his work withschool-aged children found that the artifact was central, as well as tools, materials, teacher-setconstraints, and current trends. In his words, “Materials, tools, and artifacts serve in importantways as structuring resources to design and make sense of the learning environment and asbackdrop against and with which students can construct individual understandings” (Roth, 1996).These

The proposed mass moment of inertia laboratory assignment aims to combine thetheory learned in-class with a hands-on, real-world example of how mass moment inertia isapplicable outside of the classroom.

Since technologicalliteracy embraces engineering literacy the provision of engineering courses for non-engineerswill not of themselves develop technological competence even though instruction inqualitative engineering evidently contributes to a liberal education as traditionally conceived.It is argued that the solution to technological problems, in particular those in which thecitizenship has an investment, mostly involve “knowledges” other than those that aretechnical. It is not to argue that they do not require a qualitative understanding ofengineering. It is
