? a. What science content do they integrate into engineering units? b. What adaptations do they make to the engineering curricula? c. What factors influence teachers’ choices for making these adaptations? Methods This exploratory case study examined the ways in which teachers implementedan engineering curriculum in their classroom. The study occurred in a large, urbanschool district in the beginning stages of a STEM initiative with future plans to open amiddle-level STEAM Academy (STEM + Art). The initial step in this vision was theadoption and piloting of new science (Science and Technology Concepts [STC] and FullOption Science System [FOSS]) and engineering
was used as the standard measuring device. MSD measurements were compared tothe measurements made using the hot film anemometer. Hot film traverses were conducted onboth network systems. Measurements were taken in an annulus arrangement. A diagram of thisarrangement can be seen in Figure 5. The cross section of the pipe was divided into three areas;A, B, and C. Within each area, four different measurements were taken at positions 1, 2, 3, and4. In the center area, C, only one measurement was taken because this was the point where allfour points converged. The velocities obtained from the hot film anemometer were thentranslated into volume flow rates using the area of each annulus in which the measurements weretaken. Figure 5 Annulus

The goals of our integrated ecosystem include the creation of cohesive learningenvironments, programs, and services that better engage students, faculty and staff in a)developing an innovation and entrepreneurial mindset, b) creating a bridge across academic unitsand the community at-large to foster collaboration, and c) connecting student innovators andentrepreneurs with resource networks that enable outcomes related to startup business executionand market entry for new innovative products.Through this paper we share our grass roots journey to creating an I&E Ecosystem on

demonstrated thorough understanding of the step and provided specificdetails. The entire grading rubric can be found in Saterbak et al.27 and is also included inAppendix A. Each critique was individually coded according to the rubric. If there was anydoubt regarding the appropriate coding of a response, the response was evaluated by both authorsand consensus was achieved for the response in question. Example student responsesrepresenting each score for each coding category are given in Appendix B. These serve asrepresentative responses that received each score, although some categories must be scoredbased on a holistic reading of the response in order to determine if they understand why eachstep is important.

howwomen consider leaving a job and in some cases, exit engineering altogether. A 'chilly' climatehas often been implicated as a primary or contributing reason for these exit decisions and hasbeen classified in the literature under such descriptors as a hostile or macho work culture,mysterious pathways to career advancement, and extreme work pressures. This study expands onthese previous studies by (a) emphasizing the engineering workplace experiences of millennialsin order to understand whether these chilly climate conditions have evolved over time or aretending to persist into the next generation; and (b) studying men as well as women to gain deeperinsight into which negative working conditions tend to occur across gender and which may begender
pathways”. As a resultof the Delphi study, these five primary barriers and needs emerged related to improving anddiversifying pathways of engineering students as follows. A. Study the root causes of why engineering remains a primarily white, male field, identify institutions that have successfully broken the stereotype, and determine how they did it. B. Identify and study those engineering schools and programs that have made substantial progress in increasing under-represented student populations, and determine their best practices. C. Initiate and synthesize engineering education research focused on the "neglected" cohorts (e.g., LGBTQA, disabled, low income). D. Determine why some engineering fields are

The students presented findings about theiroriginal collections: Who or what was the collection about? When were these items created? Forwhat purpose or for whom were these items created? As a group, they were asked to discusswhat each collection might have to say about science or engineering during its time of creation.They were also asked to think about what information was missing from the collections, whichwould have helped them to better understand the

getting crushed, it is best to place it very close to the edge of the smaller star.15. Drill holes into the points of the plastic stars and cut these same holes in the larger foam star so that everything is aligned.16. On each point of the star: a. Push a bolt through the top plastic layer and then screw a nut into place on the bottom side of it, applying Loctite to keep the nut from moving. This will keep the points of the stars from collapsing. b. Push the bolt through the rest of the layers and screw a second nut on the bottom, sealing it with Loctite.17. Attach a material to the bottom of the star that will help it grip to the floor.18. Repeat this process for however many stars you would like to
