Qualitative data will also be collected in the form of classroom video observations. Theresults of this project will help to demonstrate its efficacy as well as new ways to think abouthow we address the issue of female participation in STEM (focusing on engineering).Introduction The comparatively low enrollment of female students in college engineering programshas focused attention on the experience K-12 female students have in STEM (science,technology, engineering and mathematics) [1]. There is evidence from research in scienceeducation that female attitudes toward STEM form as early as

This willrequire a practical understanding of environmental policy at various levels. While teaching waterresources policy to science and engineering students is necessary, it also presents specialchallenges which would be best handled through a department particularly keen on the subject7.Impetus for the ProgramIn his plenary address to the 1993 ASEE Centennial Conference, Chancellor L.K.

experienceIntroductionMany first-year engineering students at African universities are coming from high schools thatrely heavily on rote memorization practices. This can be exacerbated by the challenge ofinsufficient resources to engage students in more experiential approaches. The dominance ofstudents being directed to read and memorize for tests and examinations has been documentedas a common practice in contexts like South Africa [1], but it extends broadly across thecontinent. The authors see this as potentially leading to negatively affected self-perceptionsabout students’ ability to execute as innovators. If this is the case, the ramifications aresignificant, as technical skills and innovation are needed for the development and advancementof technology in

. Building on the conceptual framework that hands-on learning mayenhance cognitive engagement, we examined how the type of instructional approach —specifically, a hands-on method versus a traditional control approach — influences students'ICAP scores. The ICAP framework suggests that deeper cognitive engagement throughinteractive and active activities leads to more effective learning outcomes. Furthermore, weassessed the impact of educational technology by investigating the effects of different Low-CostDesktop Learning Modules (LCDLMs) on students' post-test scores. These modules represent anintersection of affordability and practicality in educational tools, yet their influence on learningEnhancing Engineering Educationretention and comprehension
