-CIS (Career Interest Survey) based on the work of Kier, Blanchard,Osborne, and Albert [7]. The STEM-CIS consists of 44 five-point Likert scale questions. Thesurvey is divided into four sets of 11 questions based on the four areas of STEM. An examplequestion was, “I am interested in careers that involve engineering.” The same survey was givenimmediately after the camp.Qualitative data was collected in the pre and post surveys, as well as daily journals. The open-ended questions included, “What made you choose to come to this camp?”; “Name in order thethree biggest influences on your choice of career in the future;” “Tell me about your experiencewith STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields;” “What is yourperception of

One purpose of the middle grades EYE Modules, besides positively impactingstudents’ beliefs and performance related to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics), is to serve as a catalyst for district level STEM reform. “STEM reform” related tothe EYE Modules is defined as local curriculum standards that require using engineering designchallenges and the related design process to integrate required mathematics and science contentfor all middle grades students
research. There are severalother leading research universities outside of the Big 10+ umbrella who also need to provide in-put toward composing a collective vision for the profession. For the moment, however, the Big10+ universities provide a convenient framework to begin this discussion. The Big 10+ group decided to focus its effort on composing a collective vision for CEE re-search thrusts into the foreseeable future. This paper is intended to broadly engage the CEE pro-fession in an important discussion about CEE research thrusts, education, practice, and accredita-tion.Current Research Thrusts Current research thrusts in engineering are dominated by the infusion of nanotechnology,bioengineering and information technology into the
events. Modern Civil Engineering technology incorporated into thecourse included AutoCAD (2019 version) and ArcGIS 10.3.1 as drafting and mapping softwarepackages, respectively, each of which is widely used in the Civil Engineering industry.Furthermore, new Nikon NPL 322+ Reflectorless Total Stations greatly enhanced the coursemodule in surveying, enabling students to collect existing elevation data for the project in a moreefficient way that is commensurate with current industry practices. For the design project andthroughout the course, important concepts were incorporated or strengthened that faculty in theCivil and Environmental Engineering Department at Villanova University identified as currentcurriculum weaknesses, including reading

Colonel Commander asked the laboratory Colonel if the laboratory couldaccommodate a one or two week laboratory experience for some junior ROTC cadets(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, STEM, majors) as they traveledfrom the university to summer ROTC training at an Army installation (Engineer School,etc.). This arrangement was finalized and that began a partnership where up to fourjunior year ROTC cadets visited the laboratory for two weeks each summer. Thissummer ROTC experience continued for approximately a decade.Subsequent recruitment visits (led by the civilian laboratory Director) of 1987, 1988,1989, and 1990 met with more limited success.

Flow because they do not introduce the distraction of technology when it is notdirectly related to or in support of student learning.Based on the outcomes from our focus groups, we have several recommendations for otherswishing to use ESM in engineering classrooms. First, do not discount pen/pencil and papermethods. Students might actually prefer such approaches but it will depend on the exact contextof the study. Second, although quantitative-type questions facilitate compilation and analysis ofdata, be sure to leave adequate space for free responses as this was important to focus groupparticipants. However, we recognize that implementation of the pen/pencil and paper method inreal-time could be a complex task even though it is low technology

American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Impacts of a Neural Engineering Summer Research Experience on High School Students (Evaluation)Neural engineering is a cutting edge field focused on improving people’s lives by connectingbrains with technology. Sensorimotor neural engineering adds a specific focus on designingclosed-loop neural interactive systems to help restore sensory and/or motor functions that havebeen lost as a result of a neurological disorder or injury. The field brings together expertiseacross many engineering specialties along with computer science, robotics, mathematics,neuroscience, medicine, and bioethics. This interdisciplinary nature, as well as the goal ofhelping people with disabilities
highlights three major themes of ABETlearning outcomes as follows: (1) the ability to identify, formulate, and solve complexengineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics (2) theability to function effectively on a team (3) the ability to acquire and apply new knowledge asneeded, using appropriate learning strategies.
