Attempts to reschedule the lab during evening hours proved unworkable.The schedule conflicts, which resulted from a number of the students being employed,could not be resolved. The ultimate solution required that we venture outside traditionalEngineering Technology boundaries.The practice of employing student laboratory instructors is foreign to ET education atPitt-Johnstown.

Engineering, as a key component of STEM education, offers hands-on,designed-based, problem solving activities to drive student interest and confidence in STEMoverall. However, K-12 STEM teachers may not feel equipped to implement engineeringpractices and may even experience anxiety about trying them out in their classrooms without theadded support of professional development and professional learning communities.To address these concerns and support engineering integration, this research study examined theexperiences of 18 teachers in one professional development program dedicated to STEMintegration and engineering pedagogy for K-12 classrooms.

When such failures occur,analysis of the event is performed to understand heretofore-unknown risks or the impact ofunintended usage, or to examine the failure in light of new knowledge or research.24 Engineerspersistently engage in what Petroski calls a “thoughtful reappraisal of even centuries-oldfailure[s] to yield new lessons from old examples.”25 Designing and testing for limits to establishfactors of safety at final product stage is an engineering norm.

The factthat their project was part of a service learning course served more to motivate the students andto make them aware of their ability to solve a problem of value to their community, comparedwith the value of the specific methods of engineering analysis or design learned to solve thevarious problems.
