placements vary greatly in length, intended scope and type of research experience, and canbe grouped into the following six general categories: 1. Fellowships in technical data analysis divisions of corporations; 2. 8-week experiences in which teachers conduct science, engineering, or social science research in academic laboratories; 3. International experiences in which teachers travel with university lab members to conduct research or compare cross-cultural models of academic instruction; 4. Student mentoring experiences where teachers supervise high school student research projects conducted in the university laboratory, 5. Fellowships created to assist teachers in refreshing their knowledge of specific academic

For that, we regard as essential to usemeans to make relational reasoning putting together several ideas seeking for finding out themutual influences.The STS approach is relatively recent in Brazil. In spite of the emphasis given to Mathematics,Physics, and Technical knowledge, during several years, engineering curriculum in Brazil hastried to include subjects such as Biology, History, Law Studies, Economy, among others, toprovide a more encompassing view for students. Nevertheless, there was not an effective concernto connect/integrate the subjects and to make critical reflections. So, the students did notunderstand the reason of such subjects in the

The PLP system is a System on a Chip design withaccompanying tools reflecting a contemporary CPU architecture. It is unique in that it can beused in a number of courses (Digital Logic Design, Microcomputer Principles, ComputerArchitecture, Compilers, Embedded Systems) as students progress through a ComputerEngineering curriculum.
