There are limitedopportunities for professional development when starting education research, and options arehighly dependent on home institution type, department priorities, and faculty career stage.The PEER program helps faculty at any institution jumpstart their transition intodiscipline-based education research. Our goal is to help foster the next generation of STEMeducation researchers. PEER participants develop quality research projects, engage intargeted experiential work to develop their projects and skills, and collaborate and form along-term support community of peers, mentors and collaborators.

These tend to still be focused on students ages 10 and up [5] [6]. Alternatively,STEAM Nights tend to be family events where attendees visit various booths to conduct hands-on activities appropriate for all ages. These nights are an opportunity for students and theirfamilies to engage in a plethora of hands-on, mind-on activities. They ignite an interest inacademic areas that perhaps students would not typically be interested in or deepen an alreadyfound passion. STEAM Nights are generally set-up as an open house style event

It is based on an object-oriented programming environment that allowsstudents and practitioners to run simulations over the Internet. Simulations can be performed inthe intuitive graphical interface of J-DSP by placing and connecting “blocks” to establish signaland data flow. Students can also visualize the results interactively in the simulation environment.Original J-DSP functionality included algorithms for signal processing2, imaging3, controls4,time-frequency analysis5 and communications applications6.This paper presents our plans in the NSF CCLI Phase 3 project which are aimed at developing,disseminating and assessing several new J-DSP capabilities

In contrast,the relational model of leadership highlights the relevance of engaging students in ethicalprocesses that support inclusive, justice-centered, and equity-oriented understanding of complexethical dilemmas.

learning has some obvious drawbacks. One advantage withdeductive learning is that there is no danger of confusing the student. However, it is not easy toengage students in discussion since you (as the instructor) are expected to provide the examplesafter you have discussed the principle, and this can make a mathematical subject appear dry.Also, unless the instructor goes back and provides some historical perspective, the student doesnot see how and why a given concept was invented or derived. Thus, it appears that in contrast,PBL makes for a more engaging style for communicating information, since students are likelyto be more attentive (Hmelo-Silver et al.5
