Twelve undergraduate engineering (orapplied science) students from the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University spend 10hours per week at their partnership school delivering hands-on lessons with their partnershipteachers. The MUSCLE fellows provide expertise and function as positive role models for thechildren. Effective program assessment for gauging the impact of the program as well asproviding feedback for program improvement is essential to the success of MUSCLE. Plans forthe assessment of MUSCLE have been outlined, and we hope to have data available within thenext year.References[1a] http://www.education-world.com/standards/national/[1b] North Carolina Standard Course of Study http

because these individuals will one day be the policymakers and technological innovators of the future.It is reasonable to assume that a bachelor’s degree reflects the coursework and skills acquiredduring a student’s undergraduate education. As a result, scientific knowledge and understandingcan perhaps be directly correlated to the number of undergraduate STEM courses that a studentcompletes. According to the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Science and EngineeringIndicators 2016 [3], the number of science courses taken in college effects a student’s scientificliteracy. Included in the 2016 report, results from 2014 indicate that students who had taken threeor more science and/or mathematics courses in college answered 81.4% of the scientific

To overcome thelimitations associated with minimal preparation in STEM it is essential that teachers engage incontinuing education 13, 24. Thus, professional development in STEM is critical for assuring teachers areprepared to effectively meet the engineering education needs of their students. Since principals play acritical role in the professional development of teachers, it is important to determine how principals are Page 24.1376.4influencing the engineering
