Consequently, a restructuring of school science aroundreal-world problems has been suggested by educational experts and organizations1-3, which has led to anumber of studies focusing on inquiry4 -7. Notable examples of inquiry based studies are Design-BasedScience (DBS)8-17 and Learning By Design (LBD)18-20. It is surprising that, in spite of all these learning techniques and presence of multi-million NSF-funded learning centers, math and scores are not improving as expected. This may be, in part, due tothe hesitation of state boards and teachers to follow innovative paths of learning developed in theeducational cemters. Recently, new learning techniques have focused on the use of technology thatsparks the interest of children. A learning technique

The devices presenting material are merely delivery mechanisms anda more compelling issue is how do they facilitate learning and how do students’ confidence,ability, and willingness to engage with instructional tools influence the successful integration

Although thisprogram does provide an avenue for faculty involvement with STEM activities, its primaryfocus is on engineering graduate students becoming involved. If the faculty member hasseveral GK-12 scholars, the actual faculty contact with the target teachers may be minimal(2). Collectively, engineering faculty and graduate students have three paths towardimplanting (grafting) STEM into the K-14 environment. One path is for the facultymember to use the GK-12 mechanism as a model for entering a K-12 classroom andpresenting a lesson based on or derived from the research practiced by that faculty andgraduate students.
