Page 23.254.2 Creation of partnerships involving colleges of engineering, industry, and elementary andsecondary schools1 can enable K-12 students to become aware of the limitless possibilitiesrelated to their future careers; especially when they receive challenging science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) learning opportunities in elementary school grades while they arestill of an impressionable age. For example, geotechnical engineering, which employsmathematics, solid mechanics, and fluid mechanics, can be adapted in the elementary schoolcurriculum with some imagination and effort. In fact, some soil mechanics lessons are alreadyintroduced to elementary school students in several educational systems. Specifically,permeability

: professional andpersonal.IntroductionA recent consensus report published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering andMedicine shows that research experiences for undergraduate students advance students’ technicaland research skills as well as broaden participation in science technology engineering and math(STEM) fields [1]. As such, there is a need for the development of structured research programsthat train students outside of traditional learning environments, such as in the classroom. The US-Sweden Clinical Bioinformatics Research Training Program is one such program that is aimed atbroadening the participation of women and underrepresented minorities in bioinformaticsresearch. This 10-week summer program gives students an exciting

Even if the model is not explicit, components of engineering identity such ascompetency/self-efficacy and recognition (from herself and others) are still discussed [6], [7].Godwin’s Engineering Identity Model [2] for early post-secondary students (as thisautoethnography fits into this category) is situated in the idea of “role identity” in that “theindividual attaches to the context of a social and cultural role. An individual has as many selvesor identities as he or she has groups of people with which he or she interacts. Some identitiesbecome more salient based on the particular context and social situation in which an individual isimmersed” [2]. The
Development of an Alumni Success Instrument Linking Undergraduate Experiences to Graduate PathwaysAbstractHistorically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have made significant contributionstowards ensuring Black student participation, retention, and success in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and continue to play a critical role in the production ofgraduates within these disciplines. Additionally, the pedagogical approaches, principles, andvalues characteristic of the HBCU experience have led to tremendous gains and success inpromoting student achievement in STEM graduate programs. The dominance of HBCUs in thepreparation of Black students for graduate programs suggests a need to better understand

well as the development of their educational and career pathways.More recent work by Myers and her colleagues extended VAS to a STEM specific careerdevelopment model, which explains the development of career interests in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics-related fields [15] [16].This study uses the VAS of STEM as a theoretical guide to better understand how social agents,(e.g., family members, teachers, and peers) and the messages they convey can influence highschool female students to develop a career interest in engineering. The VAS Model of STEM,depicted in Figure 1, highlights the significance of socializing messages from influential otherson students’ academic and career pursuits. The model also considers the importance of
wellbeingindicators between engineering, non-engineering STEM, and non-STEM students. We followedthe NSF definition of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math fields for this purpose. Wedefine non-engineering STEM students as those in the natural sciences, social sciences, andhealth sciences; and non-STEM students as those in the humanities, art, education, business,architecture, music, and public policy. Considering these groups, we will answer the followingresearch questions:RQ1. How do wellbeing indicators compare between undergraduate students in engineering,non-engineering STEM, non-STEM majors?RQ2. How do perceptions of stress, competition, and achievement compare betweenundergraduate students in engineering, non-engineering STEM, or non-STEM majors

merits of engineeringdesign integration. This paper examines the impact of an NSF funded program (DRL-1102990), the CincinnatiEngineering Enhanced Math and Science (CEEMS) Partnership, designed to assist teachers inintegrating engineering design challenges in traditional math and science courses with requiredacademic standards and high stakes tests that measure student mastery of those standards. Usingevaluation and research results from CEEMS, this paper will detail the advantages, as well as thechallenges, of integrating engineering design into these courses. CEEMS targets middle school and high school (grades 6-12) science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) teachers in 14 regional school districts. Teachers participate inthe grant
