three mainthemes discussed previously, we’ve also learned a good deal about how important up-frontagreements with school district administrators are with respect to locking in PD time and, byextension, being able to successfully implement activities during the school year. A continuousmentoring approach is critical to getting teachers ready to facilitate the activities. Without thedistrict on board to allow that access, we end up playing second fiddle and lose out onimplementation opportunities.References[1] “Next Generation Science Standards.” [Online].

Also, since the goal was to check the applicability of the rubricto assess engineering problem solving skills, we avoided problems that were more complex andrequired more steps. Those complex multi-step problems are currently being analyzed and theirresults are not included in this paper.The four questions analyzed and included in this paper were:Question 3 (equation of a line): A model rocket is fired in a vertical plane and the velocity v(t)is measured as shown in the following figure: V(t) [m/s] T [s] 34.3 0.5 19.6 2.0The velocity satisfies

This provided anopportunity for the students to explore and research the existing available mechanisms andmachines and to use them in their design challenge. Each cohort had specific constraints to workwith and would develop a unique mechanism; by combining the two mechanisms they could builda machine capable of the requested task(s). The project was designed to expose students to a cross-cohort teamwork, to introduce them the usage of technical tools such as

Historically computer scienceprograms emerged from mathematics or electrical engineering departments in the mid to late1960's. Since mathematics is not typically in the engineering college many computer scienceprograms developed independently from engineering programs. In the 1970's and early 1980's,with the advent of the microprocessor and embedded computer systems, computer engineeringevolved mostly out of existing electrical engineering programs and has since become a separatediscipline distinct from electrical engineering with

From a motivation perspective, some of the most important steps students taketoward a career in science and engineering (S & E) are in choosing the right coursework,experiences, and mentors to get them there.
