unintentionallyundermine those efforts. If the goal is to create a sustainable STEM pipeline, then a continuum ofexperiences throughout the education ecosystem can be the common connection among allpartners. The key features for developing quality relationships with the community involve trust,mutual respect, strong leadership, resource allocation, successful products of the pipeline andeffective and constant communication. If all are aligned, then a highly-coordinated communitycan meet the workforce demands and build upon the foundation to uplift an entire region.References[1] A.

reconnect with their children in a positive way upon their release. We have some pre-planned assignments, such as a moon weight calculator which asks for auser’s weight on earth and calculates his or her weight on the moon. We also build flexibilityinto the curriculum, incorporating student ideas whenever possible. For example, after workingon the moon weight calculator program, a student said “I wonder if we could use the same ideato come up with a sentencing calculator?”. The sentencing calculator involved accepting as input(a) an initial sentence duaration, (b) eligibility for “half time” and (c) if you were good and gotyour 10% “kick”. This program was exciting to create because we hadn’t yet discussed “if”statements. We had to work around

In LTS documents, the three most prevalent codes all fellunder the third theme, “relationship between engineers and ‘the public.’” They were thatengineers a) benefit “the public,” b) relate to “the public” in a collaborative way, and c) have asignificant impact on the work of professionals outside engineering.
