and students motivations towards engineering as academic major. Reliability was demonstrated using Cronbach`s alpha in order to determine the internalconsistencies of the used satisfaction scales, Cronbach alpha values above 0.9 indicate excellentreliability 14 and in this study it was found to be 0.958 for control group and 0.968 forexperimental one indicating excellent scales showing high internal consistency. Validity was also demonstrated through conclusion validity which is described asappropriateness of the conclusions reported based on statistical relationships 15, thus within thisanalysis conclusion validity was reported through the use of inferential statistics relying onstatistical significance results at the 5% threshold.Survey

Each of these can be scaled up or down to fit the particularneeds of the site; the process of modifying the design to make it “site-specific” presents anexcellent opportunity for engineering students to accomplish a limited amount of design work. “River pumps” harness the energy of the flowing water to pump the water out of the river.One such example is the Rife RP-300 (Rife Hydraulic Engine Manufacturing Co., Nanticoke, PAUSA

The goal is to attain the benefits of group work while providingjust in time coaching to address any conceptual issues as they occur. Although group orteam-based learning has its advantages, it still has well-known disadvantages. The maindrawback being the student who is not participating may have less effective learning expe-riences as compared to the more gregarious and/or confident students who actually solvethe problem. The purpose of this paper is to discuss this technique in the context of teach-ing undergraduate dynamics, although we believe it can be applied in other undergraduatescience

As the previous computational thinking definition highlights, the problemsolving strategies and skills used in computational thinking will likely share many things incommon with the STEM disciplines. Thus, even though the prior implementations PictureSTEMfocused on STEM and literacy thinking and learning, there is likely to be aspects ofcomputational thinking also present. This paper provides examples of aspects of computationalthinking (i.e., troubleshooting) that are present without a claim that these are ideal or completeintegrations of computational thinking.MethodsDescription of PictureSTEM unit(s)The PictureSTEM curriculum was developed for grades K-2, with emphasis on the use
