The larger study is a joint effortamongst a community center, an educational research institute and a STEM center at auniversity. These partners designed, tested and implemented the integration of newcomputational thinking (CT) practices into a research-based STEM program. The study islongitudinal, spanning two school years, in 10-week, twice weekly, 90-minute program. One ofthe goals of the program is to learn how to inspire, motivate and bolster minority girls STEM andCT abilities and perceptions.

Thecamp’s objectives were to increase the students’ awareness of STEM fields by exposing them toreal-world math and its application in related career fields. In order to meet these goals, acommittee consisting of individuals from various backgrounds including; academia, business,and community outreach was formed. In addition, a curriculum that incorporated math, a hands-on projects involving STEM, and an opportunity to develop relationships with STEMprofessionals was designed.The summer program was designed as a rigorous problem/project-based educational opportunitygeared toward motivated and academically able students who showed interest in

This work describes our current effort, as a pilot project, which can beused in an evaluation process by those departments that would like to substitute Matlab for C++.Those who would like to continue the current practice, but are looking for more challengingproblems or projects involving Matlab can also use the project outcome. The main reasonbehind switching to Matlab from C++ is the fact that many engineering faculty at Penn State, invarious departments, have recognized that the current courses teaching programming skills usingC++ are not fully utilized in later required courses in the curriculum. Increasingly inundergraduate courses in various engineering disciplines, Matlab is being used for

Instead, we propose a coordinated software effort within a program andan assessment program geared specifically towards the CAD/E tools used in each course to helpinstructors enhance classroom instruction and out-of-class independent student learning of newCAD/E Software.
