updated student standards, rapidly changing impacts of artificial intelligence (AI), andan increasing number of school systems requiring a CS class for graduation. In order to preparefor these changes – as well as to address the equity issues that have plagued CS since its inception– we engaged in a project designed to reimagine content and pathways for high school CSeducation. As a collaborative project, we hosted multiple events for relevant parties (includingK-12 educators and administrators, higher education faculty, industry professionals, state anddistrict CS supervisors, and CS education researchers). These events were designed tocollaboratively seek input for the creation of a series of reports recommending what a CS coursethat satisfies
more importantly in the younger years, the inter-relationships between the four elements of STEM is of vital importance. For example, how does a teacher motivate, and therefore excite, a student about chemistry? An effective method would involve defining active ways of experiencing chemistry, demonstrating how chemistry is interesting and has a substantial impact on the student’s life. MST graduates have substantial experiences with the inter-relationship of the four STEM disciplines. For example, using T&E skills in designing & making to bring important activeness and context to lessons for both STEM and non-STEM subjects. Also, a key task for teachers, designing lesson plans, is itself an excellent

small proportion of students majoring inhigh-demand fields such as engineering. The National Science Foundation(NSF) reports that 39% of URMs "plan to major" in science and engineeringfields as freshman, but less than half of these earn an undergraduateengineering degree; rates are startlingly lower for Blacks and Hispanics.One way to increase retention and graduation rates in engineering for allstudents is to enhance their overall skills and readiness for engineering-related work by way of cooperative education (i.e., co-op) and internships1that offer students "real-life, hands on" experience in their major subject.

addedbenefit of earning a bachelor's degree makes the graduate more competitive in the hiring market. Another benefit for Veterans using GI Bill benefits to obtain flight training at aninstitution of higher learning (IHL) is that all the flight training will be covered. Veteransobtaining flight training at a flight school not connected to an IHL must obtain their Private Pilotcertificate at their own expense. [7] The only expense that the GI Bill will not cover is any feerelated to credentialing. Due to this, Veterans using the GI Bill for the APSU program will haveto pay the examiner’s fee for both the written knowledge test and the practical test (check ride) ateach stage of training.

Thesechanges to the course, we argue, have the potential of shifting learning outcomes fromdescriptive to analytical and reciprocal learning.In terms of learning outcomes, students were to demonstrate an ability to write acritical analysis of a chosen topic in an essay drawing on course literature anddiscussions from seminars and other course activities. The activities were designed to: Stimulate seminar groups to discuss course content in order to practice deconstructingtexts, get the students familiar with the course readings early on in the course. Practice constructive comments and feedback on other students‟ texts and incorporate comments received into arguments in the course essay.Pedagogy for Analytical

intended to stimulate studentinterest. No significant conclusions can be made regarding the impact of these materials on studentproficiencies on course outcomes. Yet, positive student feedback on the historical course materialsindicate that there may be a link between these materials and achieving course outcomes. Hence,teaching this course provided new insights regarding the inclusion of historical topics in engineer-ing courses. In addition, this paper presents effective rubrics for oral presentations and effectivetechniques for designing projects that may be completed by both undergraduate and graduate, i.e.,students with different enrollment status.

beginning of Day 1, the girls were administered a pre-camp survey. Then during each day,in the beginning, the students were encouraged to do an internet search to find the answer to akey question related to the contents for the day. Specifically, on the animation day, the onlinesearch focused on what an animation engineer does and how animations are made; on therobotics day the focus was on what robotics engineers do and robotic applications, on the gamesday the online search was related to gaming engineering and how games were created; and on thewebpage design day, girls researched about webpage designers and how webpages are made.Then as the day progressed, the students learned about the basics of the programmingenvironment followed by
a disjointedthree-course sequence taught over the course of the first two years of the curriculum: MaterialsProcessing, Engineering Design Graphics, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. Allthree courses are currently required, as the information they present is certainly all relevant andnecessary for graduating engineers. The manner in which it is presented, however, is in need ofimprovement. In reality, design engineers need to be able to combine and apply the skillslearned in these classes to generate complete designs. IMD will teach students the sameconcepts as the existing courses, only the content will be taught in the context of two designprojects spanning two 10-week quarters.
