They also completed paper and pencil surveys,which included questions on enjoyment, engagement, and value of the games played. An end ofthe semester, students completed an anonymous course evaluation focused on the specifics ofgamification tools. Limited data was collected because our program has less than 50 students inupper division, so the sample size is automatically small.

Effective training of school counselors is necessary toeducate students about STEM majors and occupational choices [16]. Research has shown thatthis is particularly important for counselors serving low income populations, since thesecounselors often exhibit low expectations which may affect students’ science and mathematicscoursetaking and achievement [19], [20]. Counselors must be better positioned to assist studentsin aligning their career aspirations with the coursework necessary to achieve them [21]. This isessential for

As compared to a matched sample ofundergraduates who did not participate in an REU program, Zydney and colleagues (2002) foundthat participating students had an increased likelihood of attending graduate school and felt thatthe program improved their career trajectories. Similarly, Seymour and colleagues found thatstudents felt that their research experience allowed them to have a clearer picture of their post-graduation plans and felt more prepared for their career or graduate school

This learning objective emphasizes the iterative process sometimes required in systems design to resolve communication interdependencies between designers. It highlights how incorrect or incomplete requirements can cause problems in systems design, testing as a part of a larger verification and validation plan can uncover problems, and how design changes have a tendency to propagate between subsystems.These topics expose fundamental parts of the SE process26 but also align with broader objectivesin engineering education27 to view design as a multidisciplinary activity where designers musteffectively work in teams to meet conflicting

Developing new curriculum can be time-consuming and when working with middle school students, the activities and lessons really need to be tested. So even if it means that it limits how much design and creativity your university students will have, reusing your STEM lessons in several service-learning projects can save a lot of time and problems. One example is having a few lessons pre-planned, and having the engineering students be helper teachers. This shows the engineering students what is contextually appropriate for middle and high school students and what to expect in a classroom
