Paper ID #28475 Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, introduced Changing the Face of STEM at the Na- tional Academy of Sciences (NAS) in Washington, D.C. URU returned to the NAS for its third engage- ment on June 10, 2019, where Emery unveiled the ”You Can’t Be What You Can’t See” Virtual Reality Project, aimed at closing the identification gap for young marginalized students within the STEM realm. IN 2019, Crystal lead URU in a successful effort to became a programmatic partner of 100Kin10, an organization formed in response to President Obama’s call during his 2011 State of the Union address to train 100,000 new STEM teachers in a decade.

research focused on two content areas for youngchildren to protect them from any harm associated with technology while they develop theirCT abilities. The first content area, input-device literacy, ensures all students have access totechnology and can use it within as-expected milestones to learn, communicate, and developsolutions. The objective of the second content area, digital citizenship, is to raise awarenessof the ugly side of technology and the importance of rules and regulations for user safety. As shown in Figure 4b, input-device literacy requires various skills based on adevice’s sensing capabilities and a user’s physical abilities [76]. For example, therecommended age to start learning keyboarding is preschool through grade 4

LEARNING THROUGH A COLLEGE BASED TUTORING PROGRAMAbstractTechnology and technology education changes by the hour making it extremely difficult foruniversity and college instructors and professors stay current on the latest advances in the field,preparing course materials and delivering lectures. It is equally difficult for the students to keepup with this information and they are often left without the opportunity to engage in additionalinteraction that they might need to understand the materials and successfully complete thecourse. Professors have office hours however, this time is limited and that time is rarely adequateleaving the student without the resources he or she might need.In order to address this need, the College of

research. The emerging field offers an opportunity to study afield in the making. In this paper, we focus on one facet of the field, the concept of epistemology,and examine what it reveals about engineering education research in particular and disciplinarydevelopment in general. Our motivation for examining the concept of epistemology stems fromlongstanding interest in the history and sociology of academic disciplines, combined with a moreimmediate fascination that developed after the publication of the 2014 editorial mentionedabove. We explore three “data points” on the status of the concept of epistemology in theengineering education community, identify heterogeneous conceptualizations of the term, anddiscuss how the findings contribute further

. IntroductionIn the five years leading up to the beginning of our current strategic planning cycle, the Collegeof Engineering at Purdue had undergone a period of significant growth both in faculty andfacilities. The key questions facing the college centered around how to identify and realize theopportunities that this growth was creating. With this in mind, when the work on the nextgeneration strategic plan began in late 2006, inclusiveness and widespread engagement ofstakeholders were defining goals for the planning process. Reflecting this goal of including alllevels of faculty and staff as well as students, outside academic and industrial experts andalumni,approximately hundreds of people across 25 continentshave been engaged in the preparation ofthe

Then, we use our tool in two electrical engineering coursesto answer: “How can LP support student learning in microprocessors and digital system designcourses?” In our examination of LP in microprocessors, the instructor used the tool to demonstrateLP during in-class exercises. In our examination of LP in digital system design, the students usedthe tool to engage in LP for homework and in a design lab environment.We investigated the impact of LP in a microprocessors course because the course requires studentsto integrate material from multiple sources creating high cognitive load.

According to Bird, more value and rewards are placed on instrumentalversus nurturing tasks, financial welfare versus community welfare, and theory over practice.Many studies have shown that in comparison to women, men devote less time to teaching andservice and more time to research [10]-[12]. Misra and colleagues found that gender differencesin the amount of time spent on research, service, and mentoring were especially pronouncedamong Associate Professors in the STEM disciplines [2]. Numerous studies have also shown thatwomen and faculty of color disproportionately engage in “service scholarship” [9], [13]-[15].Additionally, Umbach found that women faculty and faculty of color were significantly morelikely than their male

Each project can assess the current situation, in a quantitative way, and take target tochange that situation. As an example, the placement team may assess the current placementpercentage at 70% and may take a target to change it to 80%. The teams working on highereducation and entrepreneurship also may take similar targets. All these targets may map backinto the progress made towards fulfilling the vision statement.

They can see how the concepts they're learning in school applyto the world outside the classroom. PBL can be far more motivating for students than traditionallecture-based learning. They are more likely to be interested and invested in a project they chooseor have some control over, leading to better learning outcomes.
