quality as they vary by location and over time. The master variable is hydrology and how it isaltered by storm flow. Participants will use classical hydrology methods to construct storm hydrographsand derive time of concentration. These will be correlated with water chemistry to produce a time seriesrecord of concentration that can be translated to flux and mass transport. At the spatial scale of a sub-watershed in an urbanized area, the methodological framework will seek to understand howenvironmental flows contribute to degraded water quality [6,7,8]. Hydrologic variability and interactionswithin the natural and engineered components alter biogeochemical fluxes [9] and ecological integrity [10,11] all of which are affected by storm water

This work (which was inspired by my own experiences as a graduate student in astronomy) built upon my background in physics education research from my undergraduate days, when I began working as a Learning Assistant (LA) with Dr. Chandra Turpen. My experience as an LA introduced me to PER, and gave me the opportunity to get involved in curriculum design and research as an undergraduate. After my PhD, I returned to Dr. Turpen’s group as a postdoctoral researcher, and have since redirected my focus to the study of ethics and institutional change in STEM higher education.David Tomblin (Director/Senior Lecturer) UMD College ParkAmol Agrawal Amol Agrawal is an undergraduate student at the University of Maryland

In an effort to assist students with this challenge andeducate more students for the manufacturing work force, a partnership was formed to put asecondary STEM teacher and college faculty in the same classroom. The partnership allowedstudents to know the local post-secondary educational options related to STEM and to getcomfortable with the campus while being introduced to computer integrated manufacturing(CIM) practices.

Efforts to include engineering in the K - 12 curriculum haveincreased considerably in recent years. Many of engineering's educational advocates hold theposition that engineering should not be a "stand-alone" school subject or, at the very least, not beexclusively so. This paper is a case study of integrating engineering into the existingcurriculum. The more focused questions addressed here include "what does engineering bringto
