developers have worked at all levels of K-16 STEM education. As a result of their experiences, the developers of this program formed the following beliefs about mathematics teaching and learning through inquiry, which are supported by the research-base of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' Principles and Standards for School Mathematics31: • All students must have access to a curriculum that connects mathematical ideas. • All teachers of mathematics need to be confident in their own teaching and learning as well as that of their students. • Students need to have rich and varied experiences and materials as part of their

engineering principles and design into existing science classes that can becontinued year after year and last through and beyond the training period 6. Some of the keyfactors identified for effective professional development include: engaging teachers in practicingconcrete tasks related to teaching, assessment, and observation of learning; drawing uponteachers' questions, inquiry, and experiences; including time for collaboration, sharing andexchange of ideas and practices; building on teachers' current work with students; and providingmodeling, coaching, and problem-solving around specific areas of practice.The planning of professional development programs that effectively lead to desired teachingpractices is not a simple process. Too often, short
strategies that address challengesand barriers to recruitment, retention and success of minority students. Among the strategiesdeveloped for this project are two summer programs that were implemented for the first time insummer 2009. The Summer Math Jam is a two-week intensive mathematics program designedto improve student preparation for college-level math courses. The Summer EngineeringInstitute is a two-week residential summer camp that offers participating students the opportunityto gain insight into the engineering academic program through a combination of lectures, hands-on laboratory activities, workshops and projects with engineering professionals. Preliminaryresults indicate success of both programs. Math Jam participants show improvement
132 Improving the Participation and Retention of Minority Students in Science and Engineering Through Summer Enrichment Programs Amelito Enriquez Cañada College, Redwood City, CAAbstractAlthough many California Community College students enter college with high levels of interestin science and engineering, their levels of preparation for college-level work, especially in mathand engineering, are so low that the majority of them drop out or change majors even beforetaking transfer-level courses.

effectiveness was assessed for the Fall 2013 semester using three formats: (1) a new civilengineering sustainability literacy questionnaire administered before and after the module, (2)quality of application of the Envision Rating System to the project, and (3) instructor reflection.Results from full assessment in the Fall 2013 semester and partial assessment in the Spring 2014semester indicate the module helped introduce students to basic sustainability concepts andEnvision. However, the assessment suggests a stand-alone course within the civil engineeringcurriculum would promote a much deeper understanding of sustainability concepts, motivatingfactors, and broader applications which are beyond the capability of a single capstone designproject
a means of improving academic achievement,increasing students’ retention, improving student-instructor interactions, and supporting peerrelations [2].DDL encompasses multiple active learning strategies. DDL contrasts with traditional deductive,lecture-based methods and promotes students' active engagement through computer-assistedtools and a databank of authentic writing. Instruction is typically designed to (i.) foster students'active engagement, (ii.) encourage inductive activities that allow students to explore a topic ontheir own terms, (iii.) promote interaction between students, and (iv.) provide students withoutput-focused activities to apply this new knowledge [3].Our research specifically explores the role DDL can play in the
preparedness, compromising theirability to succeed and progress.This study introduces a new strategy to enhance retention by implementing a structured,proactive advising model that emphasizes early, personalized engagement between students andfaculty advisors. This advising framework prioritizes frequent and clear communicationregarding placement and academic progress through personalized emails, one-on-one Zoommeetings, and in-person advising sessions. Mathematics placement, given its foundational role inengineering curricula, serves as the centerpiece of this advising model. The framework providesstudents with academic planning support, fosters meaningful student-faculty interactions, andcultivates student ownership of their educational

They are at a very teachable age to presentbasic concepts of digital logic and in turn answer their questions of why and how.This paper outlines digital logic experiences specifically designed for kindergarten students. Theexperiences are hands-on experiments with the hope that kindergartners can learn at-their-levelfundamental logic concepts. Basic knowledge of digital logic through experiences is theobjective. This objective will be accomplished by a variety of activities that begin with aconcept, followed by student predictions and problem solving.
