data is collectedfrom 20 STEM students at a university located at the Northeastern side of the United States. Written and videorecorded information is collected and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to understand STEM students’ability to solve a research question related to derivative, absolute value, and trigonometric function concepts.The pedagogical techniques used in this work to analyze the collected data are Action, Process, Object andSchema (APOS) theory introduced in [1], and concept image and concept definition introduced in [16].

Success at university-level calculus and more advanced concepts require extensive timeand effort due to the building blocks of the associated sub-concepts. Critical thinking is an essentialpart of demonstrating calculus knowledge in STEM fields to make a connection between the theoryand practice. Establishing such a connection requires training learner’s mind over time to developa well-established theoretical background. In this work, Conceptual

Since the 2018 launch of the Nexus Center for Applied Learningand Career Development, 56 of their applied learning co-curricular experiences have beenapproved [2]. In addition, the Carnegie Foundation selected Farmingdale State College for the2020 Community Engagement Classification Title [3]. The results of this study will provideinstitutions with an understanding and shared resources on how to incorporate applied learningthroughout a school of engineering, across campus, or potentially as a baccalaureate graduationrequirement.Introduction “There are two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the
knowledge relevant to the engineering discipline –which we refer to as epistemological boundaries [1,2]. Epistemologies describe the nature and extent ofknowledge – including notions of both the concept of knowing and what knowledge can be known [1,3].In this study, we focus on the extent aspect wherein we use the term epistemological boundaries to referto what information is and is not considered to be part of the engineering discipline’s body ofknowledge.Studies suggest that students have a complex understanding of what engineering, and by extensionengineering knowledge, is [4]. Dusmore et al. [4] show that students’ perceive engineering leadership asgrounded in technical competence when working with others. They also found that students see

With USAFA approval, the instructor evenused the USAF “boilerplate documents” Request for Proposal (RFP). Beginning in fall 1984, theaerospace engineering curriculum was revised to allow the students to choose one of two sevensemester-credit-hour technical areas (atmospheric flight or space flight) as the culmination oftheir degree program.

IntroductionEngineering in K-12 EducationThe National Research Council (NRC) reports that the U.S. “will need a steady supply of well-trained engineers, scientists, and other technical workers...to succeed and prosper in the twenty-first century.” 1 Because our society is becoming increasingly dependent on engineering andtechnological advances, it is also recognized that all citizens need to have a basic understandingof engineering processes to make informed choices and understand our world. To address theseneeds there has been a growing nationwide interest to include engineering in both formal andinformal pre-college

a student encountering other students with diverse backgrounds, it does notguarantee a high-quality interaction. Gurin et al. [1] discuss two other forms of diversity:informal interaction diversity and classroom diversity. The former involves interaction withdiverse students outside of the classroom, and this is where most meaningful interaction happens,while the latter involves learning about diverse people and interacting with such peers in theclassroom. Informal interaction diversity and classroom diversity generate the impact oneducational outcomes, but structural diversity is required for the other two to exist.Piaget [3] states that encountering diverse students results in differing perspectives and equalityin relationships, and both
