conceptual engineering. The goal is that non-engineers should be more informed users of technology and this information can be gained by people who are not necessarily STEM professionals. Division members have developed a considerable amount of research around this approach [1].• Responsible Citizenship: Some work emerging from TELPhE has advocated for technological literacy as a component of responsible citizenship. A key theme in this group is the idea that given the pervasive nature of technology as part of everyday life, technological and engineering literacy should include an ability to understand the social, political, economic, and ethical implications of technological developments [1].• Engineering Literacy for

Thetransition to college from high school includes a change of schools, a change of class formatsand teaching styles, a change in social groups, increased responsibility, and usually a change inliving arrangements amongst other transition issues specific to an individual. These changes,along with the stress of living in a permanently connected society, with information overload andpossible worry about the finances of paying for college, and increasingly common disasters dueto climate change, may all be factors causing the increase.

Important emerging technologies, such asEEG and muon radiography using cosmic rays for home land security applications are among thetopics discussed. The learning assessment rubric of Highly Competent, Competent, and NeedsImprovement versus Participant Deliverables was used. An improvement was observed in thegrades of discussion sections of lab reports and the written interpretation of numericalcalculations. The sustainability of such triggered learning motivation through the teaching ofperspectives in science, technology and society could be enhanced if an independent collegecourse in Science, Technology and Society has a STEM course as pre-requisite.I

High school math and science classes are generally emphasized in thepreparation of students for technological careers. While math and science are essential forcareers in engineering and technology, they do not give K-12 students an understanding of thegoals and culture of engineering and technology.

The model of adaptive expertise has been presented as a way ofthinking about how to prepare learners to flexibly respond to new learning situations.

We seek to use machine learning to identifydifferent ways students talk about a problem. Through this process, we hope to help reducehuman bias in the classroom and through technology by giving instructors and researchersdiverse narratives that include insight into their students’ histories, identities, and understanding.These can then be used to connect technological knowledge to students’ everyday

For example, while reflecting on responses to the surveyquestions, one student discussed how the questions were difficult to answer given the number ofcontextual factors that might inform their beliefs about engineering knowledge: I

A student’s cognitiveabilities in a particular course could affect their motivational orientation and their uptake of self-regulated learning behaviors [7]. In an educational setting, these two concepts are linked.Svinicki [8] points to this linkage, stating, “[l]earners have to be motivated to develop the mentalmodel [of learning] in the first place and to perform the behavior once they have their models inplace” [p. 64].Within STEM education, both constructs have been a focus for researchers.
