The goal of the programwas twofold: first, to expose high school teachers to the concept of Cloud Computing and thetechnologies associated with it, and second, to help teachers develop curriculum units based onCloud Computing technologies that can be integrated into different high-school subjects.Sixteen high-school teachers participated in the program. The participants’ teaching areasspanned a wide array of subjects ranging from Computer Technology, Math, Physics andChemistry, to Human

Each participant was also mentored by one or more graduate students, who weremembers of their faculty mentor’s research group.Program ActivitiesThe goal of the program was for participants to have an authentic research experience and totranslate the excitement of their work into a classroom activity that would stimulate the interestof their students in STEM. To meet this goal, participants were required to complete theprogram with two products: 1) A research poster that was presented at our annual RET/REUResearch Symposium, and 2) A lesson plan that related to their research and that could beapplied in their classrooms. These products were developed through

This project is a collaboration of five institutions:University of South Florida (USF), Northern Arizona University (NAU), University of Hawaii(UH), University of Vermont (UVM) and University of Minnesota (UMN).Background An introductory course in electrical circuits (hereafter referred to as Circuits) is typicallyone of the first discipline-specific courses found in ECE programs. Furthermore, Circuits isoften a required course for non-ECE majors. Circuits tends to be focused almost solely oncircuit analysis with little emphasis on design or applications. A typical course first addressesfundamental components and laws (resistors, capacitors and inductors, Ohm’s and Kirchoff’slaws

However, as programs can have diverse groups of students, supporting their successmay not be a one-size fits all. Our work focuses on a group we define as Returners, who spentfive or more years in industry before returning to university for a master’s degree. As part of alarger survey with approximately 300 engineering student participants who were pursuingmaster’s degrees, we asked them to evaluate the influence of their prior work experiences ontheir
