students[3]. over thepast years, there has been an increase in the number AP programs offered in high schools and thenumber of students enrolling in these programs. The numbers mentioned above were 4.9 millionexams and 2.7 students in 2017. Among the various STEM courses offered in high schools,mathematic courses such as calculus and statistics are the most popular courses students take. Withthe increase in these programs, it is worth revisiting the potential benefits they may have onstudents' career and academic future. However, with the wide spread of AP courses there arestudents who do not have access to AP courses due to their location.The potential benefits of AP courses rise the concern of the equity and access of these courses.Students

First, in anindependent study, the student usually initiates the creation of the project to explore a topic ofmutual interest with a faculty member. At smaller teaching-focused institutions, many advancedtechnical topics in a student’s major are not covered in-depth and some students would like moreexperience in a particular area out of pure interest or to prepare themselves for a future career inthat field. Secondly, the student is not part of a student design team and often works

This paper addresses the first steps for the following research questions:• Does a design systems thinking approach create a responsive model for a community-driven faculty development program? Does this model adapt to community needs and individual faculty career needs?• Will a design systems thinking approach support the community development of a sustainable model for faculty development that thrives outside of the funding organization?This project is ongoing
