Recommendations for future changesTo enhance higher education in SET subjects the following steps may be necessary: a. Make a thorough assessment of STEM education at school and hence determine suitable steps that must be taken to improve STEM education at this level. b. It will be a major advantage if the medium of teaching at high school is converted from local languages to English as the students can benefit from freely available online materials. c.

The assignment questions were instructor’s own questions that could not befound in textbooks. The course project required students to work in groups to identify and solve a problem byworking with a manufacturer, health care provider or service provider in the area. Students had the freedom tochoose the software package for their in-class presentation and the written report. All project groups used a mixof the

Those who wished to write their own programs were stronglyencouraged to do so. In both cases, students were asked to examine and manipulate the pythoncode provided.During the discussion and review session, students would compare their results and discussopen-ended questions that related to the project

(a) the 2.5 and 5 MHz signals can only be heard at night indicating thatwhen the sun is out, the D-layer is present and absorbs signals on the lower part of the HF bandsand thus prevents them from reaching the E or F-layer for long distance transmission. Note thatthe sunset/sunrise in Colorado lags Connecticut by two hours as well as other considerations meansthat receiving these will not necessarily coincide with the exact local sunrise/sunset times.
