A Proposed Framework for Discussing Grade Aggregationin Standards-Based AssessmentDr. James Blake Hylton, Ohio Northern University Dr. Hylton is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Ohio Northern University. He pre- viously completed his graduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University, where he con- ducted research in both the School of Mechanical Engineering and the School of Engineering Education. Prior to Purdue, he completed his undergraduate work at the University of Tulsa, also in Mechanical En- gineering. He currently teaches first-year engineering courses
, Indiana.This paper describes the following promising solution: (a) set up and organize a system forcollecting plastic used for water and soda bottles, (b) design and manufacture production line forautomatically processing plastic bottles to make plastic ribbons of various sizes, (c) use theplastic ribbon to make a prototype of useful products like tables, chairs, roofing, decorations, etc.This paper covers the design details of three machines that are core in the successfulimplementation of the project. The first machine converts waste plastic into plastic ribbon. Thesecond machine is for the straightening of the plastic ribbon. The third machine is for kneadingstraight plastic ribbon into various artifacts of choice.The paper brings forth the

Retired astronaut John B. Herrington [15] conducted research on themotivation and engagement of Native American students in a NASA-sponsored summerSTEM program on the Duck Creek Indian Reservation in the high desert of Idaho andNevada. Commander Herrington found indigenous students were more enthusiastic whenpresented information on traditional tools and techniques used by their ancestors longbefore the introduction of western STEM disciplines [14].A final area of research is studying civic engagement among STEM students who havecompleted history of technology
average” students? After examining the overall survey results, weseparated the responses based on grades received in pre-requisite courses. We assigned values of1= No, 2= Maybe, and 3= Yes to the survey question answers and analyzed the average scoresfor each question between the two groups (A/B in pre-requisite course vs. C or below in pre-requisite course). A t-test was used to test for statistical significance. The results (Figure 5)showed that students who came into the class with a C or below felt that the tiered mentoringproject gave them more expertise (p = .02) and more confidence (p = .01) in the topics theyworked on, compared to students who came into the class with As or Bs.

unintentionallyundermine those efforts. If the goal is to create a sustainable STEM pipeline, then a continuum ofexperiences throughout the education ecosystem can be the common connection among allpartners. The key features for developing quality relationships with the community involve trust,mutual respect, strong leadership, resource allocation, successful products of the pipeline andeffective and constant communication. If all are aligned, then a highly-coordinated communitycan meet the workforce demands and build upon the foundation to uplift an entire region.References[1] A.
