The specific objectives are to: (i) develop anew Masters/Technology Education Teaching Licensure Option for engineering graduates; (ii)create a contemporary framework for undergraduate engineering pedagogy, beginning withfreshman engineering experiences; and (iii) initiate the “Virginia Engineering /EducationCollaborative” to ensure stakeholders’ ownership of project outcomes.A number of initiatives are currently underway to create the proposed contemporary curriculumframework. These initiatives can be classified into following categories: • Collection and analysis of data

Students, Self-Efficacy, STEM identity, Engineering Design Process, informaleducationIntroductionSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education is a critical component ofmodern education and workforce, as it provides students with the skills and knowledge necessaryto succeed in today’s rapidly changing technological landscape, but it is not always accessible toeveryone. The equity gap in STEM education is a significant issue, and individuals from low-income communities often lack the STEM experiences that their more affluent peers receive [1].To address this gap, educators are exploring new ways to engage students in STEM experiencesthat promote positive associations. A positive class experience can impact students in profoundways, for

examined 40 lesson activities from a website that provides teachers withover one thousand free activities. This website was chosen because it is NSF-funded, acollaborative effort from several well-respected universities, and a top hit when searching for“K-12 Engineering Activities” on Google. It is also one of the only sites that provides completeunits, as opposed to stand-alone activities, at no cost.A search was conducted within the website to limit the focus of this research, which includedlooking at complete units under “Science and Technology” that cover the Engineering DesignStandards for grades 3-5. All lesson activities were coded by two of the researchers, using acodebook that was developed with the “practices matrix” in the NGSS. The

in global engineering education (GEE). By GEE, we meaneducating engineers with a global mindset to improve their Global Competency. This can bedone in many ways and many conference papers explain how a given university has createdprograms to help engineers be exposed to global technology, culture, communication andcollaboration. Typical programs offer study abroad for engineering students, but some also offermulti-national teaming on projects with common objectives.Conferences and symposia have their place, but sometimes the participants need extended timefor goal-directed discussion. With this purpose in mind, faculty who were known to be involvedin GEE programs gathered for a workshop held at Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona
