STEM Education Summit convened a wide range of STEM leaders from all 50 states,five territories, and several tribes. The goal of the summit was to outline and develop a nationalSTEM education plan that “will to help inform the development of the upcoming Federal 5-YearSTEM Education Strategic Plan” (p.3). To help support the initiative to enhance STEM education,the U.S. Department of Education allocated a $279 million dollars in discretionary funds for FiscalYear 2018.While federal, state, and district initiatives have created and implemented policies designed tobolster STEM achievement, there are numerous concerns that prove to be challenging informulating effective solutions. One concern regarding the exponential growth of STEM

In the near future, plans for thiswork-in-progress study include the addition of another seven to ten participants. Additionally,results from other data collection methods, such as surveys [21], focus groups, and interviews,will be synthesized and reported. As with most UX research, the sample size limits the datageneralizability; therefore, the researchers plan to ultimately extend their research to otherengineering doctoral programs to determine if user responses are replicable across programs.Acknowledgment and disclaimer This material is

workerswere rising. These awards were decided by juries who were very sympathetic to workers. In1915, the workmen’s act was passed by the general assembly in Pennsylvania. The act definedinjury as “violence to the physical structures of the body” and, by doing so, standardizedpayment to workers who had gone through industrial accidents (Slavishak, 2008, p. 246). TheNational Association of Manufacturers approved workers’ compensation programs because “ofits central concept of liability without fault” (Ibid, p. 242). The plan “acknowledged the damagedbody of work but did not dwell upon it or ask it to prove itself as the result of individual orcorporate culpability” (Ibid). Ultimately, through such legislature, municipalities were able toremove the

It seems manystudents were keen for hands-on engineering design experience and often concurrently enrolledin other clinic subjects.Assessment for the subject is in line with the PBL pedagogy employed with most majorassessment closely tied to the design project. The first major project milestone is submission of aproject plan that breaks down anticipated tasks, determines a provisional timeline for workcompletion, and outlines team protocols and procedures. A mid-project design review isconducted as an oral presentation and enables instructors to give important formative feedbackon a team’s technical approach and engineering analysis. The main assessment instrument for theproject is a written report

This plan can encompassprofessional development sessions, the creation of asynchronous learning modules, guest lecturesby leading experts in the field, and other online resources. Moreover, College of Engineeringleadership can embrace an interdisciplinary approach by collaborating with personnel fromdifferent colleges such as those from education, communications, and technology to developrobust learning experiences for engineering faculty.At a microlevel, the data revealed certain

The study is overall encouraging forengineering instructors to integrate the concepts of intercultural learning into their curriculum, butthe study does have some limitations: 1) the results of the study are based on the student reflections,and no student interviews were conducted to gain a deeper understanding of the studentintercultural competence. 2) the data was collected through written reflections; validated surveyswere not used to assess the intercultural competence development of the students.
