The ideal situation would be similarto that of IUPUI, where your department adds a class to an existing program.Administering a program and developing a course or two would be quite a challengingtask for one person to accomplish. A significant amount of development work must gointo each course, and the work must start early to be successful. There are manyresources to help plan laboratory experiences for the students - be sure to utilize them.Be sure to plan your classroom activities with hands-on experiments, and be sure thatany faculty who will work with these students is wiling to do so - they should be awarethat these students are not in college, and

I find helpful for broad literature reviews areAcademic Search Premier, ERIC, and J-Stor. In addition, I recommend searching theDissertation Abstracts Database in the beginning of any new research project. Often, students ineducation, sociology, psychology, etc. use a STEM discipline as their context, but never publishin the STEM education journals. The second impact of this principle is to point out the need to move from implicitness toexplicitness in terms of research design and methodology. In our disciplinary research, STEMfaculty members are well-trained to describe all of the important conditions and processes underwhich experiments are conducted and data are collected. Furthermore, lab notebooks aremeticulously kept to

In response to these findings,the WSU Vancouver Engineering and Science Institute was conceived as a way toprovide a seamless four-year experience. In this unique model, faculty from twopartnering community colleges moved to the WSU Vancouver campus to provide thelower division curricula in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Biology. Thelower division courses were re-designed to create seamless four-year programs offered bythe three institutions on the university campus.

This inventiveness manifests itself inNabokov’s literary and scientific design, Leonardo’s pioneering work in comparative anatomy,Bach’s invention of new instruments with desired acoustical properties, and Borodin’s ability tojuggle his work in music composition and the laboratory, while publishing in both fields andchampioning women’s educational rights.
