The other three elementary schools did not have a STEM designation at the time of thisstudy but were planning to convert to STEM schools in the coming years. Though the state hadnot adopted the NGSS, the state’s science academic standards included engineering standards, soelementary teachers were expected to include engineering instruction in their classrooms.This study used a comparative case study design [20] and semi-structured interviews to examinestudents’ conceptions of engineering. Participants were 125 students in fifth grade (10-11 yearsold) at the district’s four elementary schools. School demographics are shown in Table 1, andparticipant

response to identification of these systemic issues, in 2001 the National Science Foundationlaunched Institutional Transformation grants as a new initiative in the ADVANCE program.Research planning grants and career advancement grants supporting individual women werephased out, and greater emphasis was placed on systemic change within academic institutions[33]. From a review of 37 ADVANCE institutional transformation initiatives from 2001 to 2008,Morimoto and coauthors argued that creating equity in gendered organizations must go wellbeyond articulating policy, beyond attending to the needs of individuals, and beyond workingtoward balanced gender composition among the ranks of faculty, all of which they characterizedas surface-level work [5].

Business requirements are necessary for thedevelopment team to truly understand why the project is occurring and what business value isput forth by completing the project. Business value should always be driving the softwaredevelopment, and it is important for all members of the team to understand the needs of thebusiness. Developers though, must implement individual functional requirements. Figure 4: A Disciplined Agile Delivery Lifecycle.

How does participation in the program influence youth attitudes towards STEM in general and engineering in particular? 3. How does participation in the program influence youth plans for future college and career?ProgramDesignThe TechHive program was designed to create a culture of HOMAGO (Hang Out, Mess Around& Geek Out) for participants.

The advisers utilize the Advising-as-Teaching model and collaborate on advising and mentoring students, facilitated by having co-located offices in a suite. Advisers work with each student to collaboratively determine thestudent’s educational goals and develop a path for her to achieve those goals.Each adviser’s primary objectives are to: • Each assist ~100 first-year students with their major selection and academic planning, then serve as a resource throughout their undergraduate careers; • Teach three courses
