year (2019-2020), Extension Services began with twocolleges that award both two- and four-year degrees and were part of the same state system. Inthe second year (2020-2021), three CCs that exclusively grant associate degrees joined theinitiative. We integrate data from evaluation surveys and interviews, and—for the most recentLC cohort—structured personal reflections from three points-of-contact leading their CLTs. Forthis last piece, two points-of-contact reviewed and contributed to this paper as co-authors, andanother point-of-contact contributed to the early development of the paper.We descriptively analyzed a total of 13 responses from an end-of-initiative survey, which wasadministered by external evaluators at the University of Washington

, theteacher will facilitate and organize by invoking dialogical processes (i.e., identification,coordination, reflection and transformation) and pedagogical activities (i.e., asking students tosolve a relevant authentic ill-defined problem in multiple creative ways) to facilitate boundarycrossing between the STEM domains. Taken together, STEM pedagogy is posited as boundarycrossings within the STEM enterprise [35].STEM-critical pedagogy involves designing dialogical processes and pedagogical activities thatalign with the affective elements, particularly curiosity, and can serve as a necessary catalyst forthe cognitive element of learning that facilitates boundary crossing between the STEM domainsto solve ill-defined problem in multiple creative ways

The positivism createdand perpetuated by this silo in engineering education ultimately positions rightness as a hidden,structural, exclusionary force rather than something constructed by the people in the room. Theauthors conclude that students are working at a boundary condition created over years ofseparation between the physical and social sciences and this itself is another barrier. Studentsstruggle with their engineering identity when centering public welfare or justifying nontechnicalwork after experiencing partial integration of social impacts in technical courses, and “[this] kindof negotiation [reflects] the tensions and unsettled boundaries between what students [consider]to be inside or outside the scope

students suggested modifications to the overall program structure,course topics, and instructional approaches. For example, students thought that courses in the CSprogram did not connect well with each other. Aligned with Bruner’s [48] Spiral CurriculumFramework, learning often starts with introducing a topic, mastering that topic, revisiting thattopic in a higher-level course, and finally making connections to other topics in the higher-levelcourses. As students responded that the latter part of the learning cycle (i.e., creating connectionsbetween courses) is missing in the CS pathway, one approach instructors can use is to not onlyrevisit concepts from prior courses, but also ask students to reflect on how this revisited conceptrelates to the

While thestudy focus was PT, these strategies can work equally well for many design related courses:Finding Industry Members:  Start with your alumni base then expand to those firms who hire your students for full time employment.  University employees within the facilities or physical plant design departments of your school often have practical experience prior to joining your

Research hasshown that the careers of women and men diverge upon labor market entry and continue todiverge along the career [2]. Much of the divergence reflects the horizontal segregation ineducational choices, but also the career paths of women and men with the same educationalbackground differ in many respects. This vertical segregation has not been studiedextensively in Finland.
