For instance, in this course, soft skills such as technical writing, use of Excel,developing an individual academic plan of study, cooperative education, internships, culturaldiversity, quality, safety, and ethics are covered. Basic technical skills covered include math,mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering technology. The rationale for this course is toexpose students to these subjects and topics before they enroll in core engineering technologycourses such as applied statics.Assessment of learning:While the author plans to conduct this

In addition, we noticed that the group activity component of the classesencouraged sociability and idea synthesis among peers. This CS community outreachprogram motivated us to extend the effort to teach science concepts using the Processinglanguage. This may potentially promote sociability, creativity, and empowerment inSTEM among middle school students. Specifically, we plan to use the Processingprogramming language to facilitate learning of biological and chemical concepts, sincesuch concepts can be difficult for students to visualize from a textbook.

We used a list of learning outcomes developed by Kuh [8] that employersconsider essential, specifically: Self-direction, timeliness, cogent writing, critical thinking,adaptability, quantitative reasoning, social responsibility, teamwork and collaboration.Active learning is a pedagogical method to engage students more directly in learning, typicallyusing small groups and

well as the type of math coursestaken during the student’s first year. Chen [5] discovered that taking a lighter course load withless challenging math courses while having a poor performance in those courses lead to ahigh chance of switching out of STEM. Another noteworthy result from this study: All other factors being equal, bachelor’s degree STEM entrants who first attended public 4-year institutions had a higher probability of leaving STEM by switching majors than those who started at private nonprofit 4-year institutions. Bachelor’s degree STEM entrants who were male or who came from low-income backgrounds had a higher probability of leaving STEM by dropping out of college than their peers who were female or came from
