But also, students can communicatewith teachers and tutors.In France, except in experimental cases in a few penitentiaries, prisons are not connected tothe Internet. Therefore, educational and technical solutions for this particular setting must beprovided by instructors in higher education as well as instructional designers.

A few of the reasons typicallylisted to explain this discrepancy in STEM jobs are a lack of female role models, genderstereotyping, and lack of family friendly flexibility. Despite current programs that are beingused, some suggestions to help include, mentorship programs that break down genderstereotypes, STEM discovery days at universities where female high school students interactwith female university STEM students, female STEM summer camps at universities anduniversity recruiting done by female faculty members in STEM.KeywordsFemale students, STEM, STEM in AmericaIntroductionMore and more programs are being implemented into school curriculums

knowledge (for an overview, see Hoskinson et al.1). Problem solving,whereby one applies abstract principles in an expert-like fashion in order to achieve a goal, playsa central role in this endeavor.In physics, such abstract principles are commonly embodied through equations and instantiatedthrough word problems. Problems often refer to idealized objects or events (e.g., a block slidingon an inclined lane). Yet, rather than eliciting abstract thinking, such problems reinforce roteassociation with formulas and restrict transfer toward “real-life” situations. Many scholars deemidealized problems responsible for students developing a formulaic approach toward problemsolving (i.e., “plug and chug”), and ultimately leaving introductory courses with poor

However, these courses weretaught in the conventional “textbook” manner, with little to no emphasis on current industrystandards [1]. During the spring semester of 2015, the author taught a modern version of PowerElectronics at Bucknell University, with a particular emphasis on industry standards, and trend-setters in next generation power electronics.

, 2015 Web-Based STEM Curriculum for Rural High Schools1. IntroductionSTEM related technology and pre-engineering programs in rural high schools have alwaysstruggled because of the small number of students in the community to draw from. Mostrural schools require the instructors to teach five or more different subjects. The teachingload placed on these teachers makes it difficult for instructors to specialize and be certified inany one subject and instead requires them to be stretched thin across multiple areas providingminimal knowledge in each course. The cost of a technology lab, software, and trained(certified) instructor is cost prohibitive to most small rural school districts. These problemslead to many high school students

However, over the last several decades, the basic structures of how universities produceand disseminate knowledge and evaluate students have shifted in a new direction due to societalchanges created by technology—computers, internet, instant messaging, e-mail, Facebook, andtweeter. The transmission of knowledge need no longer be tethered to a college campus.
