Compared to socioculturalaspects, the importance of considering learners’ political identity while designing STEM learningactivities has not been well-investigated. One can be a STEM educator, scientist, or engineer andat the same time be a community activist advocating for legislative reforms. He/she may use theirtechnical knowledge and understanding to imagine and design new technologies that resistoppression and empower marginalized groups in society.

. Student teams were dividedinto three broad categories: a science/engineering team, a business/economics team, and acultural/infrastructure team. While each student had a primary team responsibility, they werealso required to work across team boundaries to ensure integrated and realistic solutions emergedfrom their efforts. The ASU team initially met with students and faculty from the KwameNkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, Ghana, a partneruniversity with ASU in this study. They travelled to Biemso, a small rural village in which aproject is underway to produce biodiesel fuel from the oil seed bearing plant known as JatrophaCurcas.

This integratedsystem could also substantially reduce the critical factor of time to market and lower overall cost ofdesigning new products by allowing designers to test their products for human fit without having tobuild a prototype or using real subject.I.

Therefore, the students are more interested in the systems use of the Data Acquisitionequipment. In other words, the students want to learn the application of the equipment at hand,and understand the concepts of the material. Also, the interest in learning the versatility of theequipment is quite high.The introduction of high technology into the classroom, especially in electric power systems hasbeen a real success in our program.

We intend to apply techniques commonly employed in engineering and physics (yetuncommon in biology) to analyze the metabolic dependence of the electric potentials of ERG’s inisolated rat retinas. We plan to be trained in the technologies and methodologies used in retinalelectrophysiology research. At this early stage of the project, we are spending time in the lab learning the subtletiesentailed in recording ERG’s in animals, the elctrophysiology of the retina, and the biochemistryinvolved in the visual process. Being proficient with electronic technology and computerprogramming, we have upgraded the ERG recording scheme from a 1960’s strip chart recordersystem to a state-of-the-art digital oscilloscope with a front-end
