As a student who enjoyed the Stamp-based Robotics class as an undergraduate, he was very interested in an opportunity to restructure the curriculum for Arduino compatibility. Once involved in the project, he decided to see it through as the teaching assistant for the lab portion of the revamped course, which proved to be an enriching experience. After

of the importance of engineeringdesign’s integration with society, in our critical review we found it was mostly grand statementsbeing made in the introduction and conclusion, without much real substance in the meat of thepaper. This was most prominent in A4’s paper. The second paragraph mentions the importanceof covering “social issues like the environment” (A4, p.83), and in the conclusion they concludethe students “have shown significant progress in […] developing an appreciation of theengineering involved in creating wealth for society” (A4, p.90). Whereas, during the textualanalysis of the remainder of the paper, there were almost no other codes for society.This is again evident in A1, where the second sentence of the paper states

do notfeel stretched to meet their full potential for a multitude of reasons. The reasons include the "nochild left behind" clause, where more focus is being placed on those students who are struggling.This practice leaves more advanced students bored and neglected. This issue highlights thenecessity for a more challenging curriculum, instead of just meeting the minimum criteria. Inorder to uphold the state requirements, teachers have to be focused on all their students passingthe assessment exams to graduate on to the next grade rather than imparting education tostimulate their minds. This is an issue that needs to be addressed at a fundamental level.There is a need to be truly innovative in education to address the needs of all students

. These newstandards emphasize nurturing students' ability in problem-solving and lifelong learning, thus toenable them to integrate mathematics and science with technology to solve real-worldproblems. Implementation of these goals requires mathematics and science teachers todevelop new curriculum and approaches. This has presented a great challenge to teachers,especially to those working in rural school districts. Compared with their counterparts in urbanschools, rural school teachers usually work in a more isolated environment, and have lessfinancial resources and opportunity to conduct professional development. As such, it is moredifficult for them to implement the new standards.To implement the new standards, mathematics and science teachers

Classroom examples don’t include them, and for womenof color, the same examples may also be of an exclusive cultural context as well. The picture offuture engineers and scientists seems to be one in
