One of MIT Lincoln Laboratory's strategic directions is science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) outreach. The Laboratory aims to develop STEM programs that couple traditional academic classroom lectures with experiential hands-on activities. The opportunity for students to build and test engineering components based on theory that they have been taught is a very effective formula for STEM learning and development. This paper focuses on two Lincoln Laboratory STEM programs for high school students: Lincoln Laboratory Radar Introduction for Student Engineers (LLRISE) and Cyber Patriot. Both programs involve intensive classroom lectures and hands-on activities that require the students to execute final requirements.

This paper discusses the importance of academic culture and its impacts on students and their motivation. Cultural challenges and obstacles to educational reform are explored. The expanding role of technology in educational instruction and driving cultural change is examined. Technology enables customization and innovation in teaching and assessment. However, it also poses privacy risks as more and more data are being collected and shared. The ultimate success of educational reform demands meaningful dialogue between critical stakeholders in the educational process - students, parents, teachers, administrators, policy makers, governments, and society as a whole. Technology provides opportunities to facilitate the expression of divergent viewpoints thereby encouraging greater collaboration and more informed discussion about educational reform.
本文论述了学术文化的重要性及其对学生学习动机的影响。探讨了教育改革的文化挑战和障碍。技术在教育教学和推动文化变革中的作用不断扩大。技术使教学和评估的定制和创新成为可能。然而,随着越来越多的数据被收集和共享,它也带来了隐私风险。教育改革的最终成功需要教育过程中的关键利益相关者——学生、家长、教师、管理人员、政策制定者、政府和整个社会——之间进行有意义的对话。技术为促进不同观点的表达提供了机会,从而鼓励就教育改革进行更大的合作和更明智的讨论。

This work reflects the positive and negative practices and experiences of an engineer with experience in STEM education activities at the K-5 level. As children, one of the most common questions we heard asked was: "Where do we need Math in real life?" A valid question since most school children are not taught the long term career possibilities of STEM fields. Through a healthy balance between theory and practice, along with constant reminders of the successful possibilities a strong STEM background can hold for students, I believe that STEM interest and success can be achieved. Fundamental STEM education practices need to be reassessed to improve STEM education interest. Some of these possible solutions are summarized in this work.
这项工作反映了具有K-5级STEM教育活动经验的工程师的积极和消极做法和经验。作为孩子,我们最常听到的问题之一是:“在现实生活中,我们在哪里需要数学?”这是一个有效的问题,因为大多数学校的孩子都没有被教导STEM领域的长期职业可能性。通过理论与实践之间的健康平衡,以及不断提醒学生强大的STEM背景可以为学生带来成功的可能性,我相信STEM的兴趣和成功是可以实现的。需要重新评估基础STEM教育实践,以提高STEM教育的兴趣。本文总结了其中一些可能的解决方案。

“SUZA - from school to science and the academic community” is the official popularization program for science, technology, engineering and mathematics at University of Zagreb, Faculty of electrical engineering and computing. Volunteers in the program are professors, researchers and students from the Faculty. Although, the program is relatively new, it counts more than 20 activities during a school year. Activities are mostly specialized for K-8 or K-12 students or for their teachers and are hosted at the Faculty, or in their schools. In this paper, we present several approaches showing how we popularize computer science - depending on their age and their previous knowledge. For K-8 students we organize visits to our faculty research groups and laboratories. Further, SUZA participates in Computer Science Education Week - Hour of Code event. For K-12 students we host a student fair in electrical engineering and computing educational sector and several specific mini workshops for them to gain hands-on experience. At the same time, we educate their teachers how to use robots for education in the schools. In this paper we present teacher workshops “When science is boring, who is it boring to?” and “Autonomous robotic systems and their role in modern society”.
“SUZA -从学校到科学和学术界”是萨格勒布大学电气工程与计算学院科学、技术、工程和数学的官方普及计划。该项目的志愿者是学院的教授、研究人员和学生。虽然该项目相对较新,但一学年有20多个活动。活动大多是专门为K-8或K-12学生或他们的老师举办的,由学院或他们的学校主办。在本文中,我们提出了几种方法来展示我们如何普及计算机科学-这取决于他们的年龄和他们以前的知识。对于K-8学生,我们组织参观我们的教师研究小组和实验室。此外,SUZA还参加了计算机科学教育周-编程一小时活动。对于K-12学生,我们举办了一个电子工程和计算机教育部门的学生博览会,并为他们提供了几个特定的小型讲习班,以获得实践经验。与此同时,我们教育他们的老师如何在学校使用机器人进行教育。在本文中,我们提出了教师研讨会“当科学是无聊的,谁是无聊的?”和“自主机器人系统及其在现代社会中的作用”。

The challenge today with an increasing volume and complexity of information is the actual connections we make with the information, its value and how it impacts us. This paper interweaves three topics as they relate to communicating scientific knowledge and the use of the arts to heighten our ability to connect to the information, so as to transition from up in the clouds to down to earth, i.e. from the intangible to the tangible. Educators, teachers and an evolving breed of mentors play an important role in the transition from a hierarchical arena to one of reciprocal interactions, mutual learning and respect, openness to novel ideas and encouragement to think outside the box. The topics to be explored are the following: the outlining of a story - from up in the clouds to down to the earth, the art of Scientific Storytelling and the uncovering of the `scoop' in the story: translating knowledge into action. This paper embraces nonconventional forms of learning and imparting acquired skills and knowledge using the Scientific Storytelling method for innovative learning modules. The method presented in this paper provokes new insights and conversations, while exploring the cross pollination of the sciences that enables others to connect to one's stories.
随着信息量和复杂性的增加,今天的挑战是我们与信息的实际联系,它的价值以及它如何影响我们。本文将三个主题交织在一起,因为它们涉及到传播科学知识和使用艺术来提高我们与信息联系的能力,从而从云端过渡到地面,即从无形到有形。教育工作者、教师和不断发展的导师在从等级制舞台向互惠互动、相互学习和尊重、对新思想持开放态度和鼓励跳出思维定式的舞台过渡中发挥着重要作用。探索的主题包括:故事的梗概——从云端到地面;科学讲故事的艺术;发掘故事中的“独家新闻”:将知识转化为行动。本文采用非传统的学习形式,并利用科学讲故事的方法为创新学习模块传授获得的技能和知识。本文提出的方法激发了新的见解和对话,同时探索了科学的交叉授粉,使他人能够与自己的故事联系起来。

In colleges today, learning computer languages is becoming more popular not only because the current job market highly demands jobs requiring these skills, but also because many STEM fields require programming skills. Java is one of the most widely used languages in client-server applications because of its rich API, portability, simplicity, and object-oriented features. To learn their first programming languages, students must write many programs for practice on the path to mastery. More programming assignments increase the workload of faculty. This paper presents an integrated online system to help instructors manage programming assignments effectively, providing immediate compiling and runtime messages, and display of the results when the students submit the program. This immediate feedback improves the student learning experience, with targeted information and encourages student success.
在今天的大学里,学习计算机语言变得越来越流行,不仅因为当前的就业市场对这些技能的要求很高,而且因为许多STEM领域需要编程技能。Java是客户机-服务器应用程序中使用最广泛的语言之一,因为它具有丰富的API、可移植性、简单性和面向对象特性。为了学习他们的第一门编程语言,学生必须编写许多程序,以便在掌握的道路上进行实践。更多的编程作业增加了教师的工作量。本文提出了一个集成的在线系统,以帮助教师有效地管理编程作业,提供即时的编译和运行消息,并在学生提交程序时显示结果。这种即时反馈改善了学生的学习体验,提供了有针对性的信息,并鼓励学生成功。

Pressure from industry, professional bodies and students for a reform to the curriculum and delivery style of engineering education in the United Kingdom has been mounting for a number of years. Although there have been many excellent individual initiatives, developments that span a whole school or faculty, those encompassing a number of disciplines and departments are rare. This paper describes the curriculum development and evaluation of a year 1 module for the new Integrated Engineering Programme, which spans across the UCL faculty of engineering sciences in the UK. It describes the motivation for change, some of the approaches adopted and the achievements documented by the students.

Lack of funding is a common problem for many public schools and small private tutoring centers. Some schools have a policy that prevents students from taking textbooks home to study. Sometimes teachers will take money out of their own pocket to let students use existing online services to improve education quality. However, those internet services are not guaranteed to have materials that are best fit for individuals' teaching style. In some cases, the best fit material simply does not exist on the internet, and creating it would take many hours. We have created Academic Aide to combat this exact problem. Academic Aide is a free online database that allow users to generate and share content in a well organized manner. We allow users to create problems that fit their needs and upload it to the website. People from around the world can access to these problems at no cost. If the type of problem is not available on the website, the user can simply create their own. We believe that Academic Aide will be a place for people to learn from each other, create their own content and share it with people around the world. Academic Aide is the result of a project-based learning approach for undergraduate computer science students.
缺乏资金是许多公立学校和小型私人辅导中心的共同问题。一些学校有禁止学生把课本带回家学习的规定。有时老师会自掏腰包,让学生使用现有的在线服务来提高教育质量。然而,这些互联网服务并不能保证提供最适合个人教学风格的材料。在某些情况下,最适合的材料根本不存在于互联网上,创建它需要花费很多时间。我们创建了学术助手来解决这个问题。Academic Aide是一个免费的在线数据库,允许用户以良好的组织方式生成和共享内容。我们允许用户创建符合他们需求的问题并将其上传到网站。世界各地的人们都可以免费使用这些问题。如果网站上没有这类问题,用户可以自己创建。我们相信,Academic Aide将成为人们相互学习、创造自己的内容并与世界各地的人们分享的地方。学术助理是一个基于项目的学习方法的结果为本科计算机科学的学生。

Interdisciplinary collaboration is becoming increasingly important not only to the scientific community but also to the corporate environment since many real world problems involve collaboration from professionals across disciplines. In this work, we engaged students using a multidisciplinary project that encompassed students from two Information Technology (IT) courses and one Biology course. Students from these courses collaborated to create animations aimed to demonstrate biology concepts. Students worked in teams throughout the semester and presented the completed animation in class. The finished animations were later used in biology classes as teaching and learning tools. The purpose of this project is to create an active learning environment that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration. By the end of the project, students learn to collaborate and communicate effectively with peers of other STEM disciplines, by creating a biology web-based animation as end-product. In this way, they learn to appreciate the value of interdisciplinary teamwork and also realize that animations can be useful teaching and learning tools. Preliminary survey data show positive student feedback regarding learning from peers, using technology and interdisciplinary teamwork. This paper shares our experience in planning and implementing the project.
跨学科合作不仅对科学界越来越重要,而且对企业环境也越来越重要,因为许多现实世界的问题涉及跨学科专业人员的合作。在这项工作中,我们让学生参与了一个多学科项目,其中包括两门信息技术(IT)课程和一门生物学课程的学生。这些课程的学生合作制作旨在展示生物学概念的动画。学生们整个学期都在小组合作,并在课堂上展示完成的动画。完成的动画后来被用作生物课上的教学工具。这个项目的目的是创造一个积极的学习环境,促进跨学科合作。在项目结束时,学生将通过创建基于网络的生物动画作为最终产品,学会与其他STEM学科的同行进行有效的协作和沟通。通过这种方式,他们学会欣赏跨学科团队合作的价值,也意识到动画可以成为有用的教学工具。初步调查数据显示,学生在向同伴学习、使用技术和跨学科团队合作方面反馈积极。本文分享了我们在规划和实施该项目方面的经验。

Professional skills, such as teamwork, global awareness, creative problem solving, and ethics, are essential for the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. The focus of this paper is teamwork. In particular, this paper discusses how efficacy and attitudes affect teamwork for the students majoring in Information Sciences and Technology programs, either virtual or face-to-face. Although online education has significantly grown, the literature discussing the incorporated online teamwork remains limited. Virtual and face-to-face teams have some similarities, but many key differences as well, such as communication, trust, and geographical boundaries. To gauge team efficacy and attitudes for virtual and face-to-face teams, we developed a survey and collected data. Our findings showed that online students had more negative attitudes toward teamwork than face-to-face students did, while both groups had a similar level of teamwork self-efficacy.
专业技能,如团队合作、全球意识、创造性解决问题和道德,对科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域至关重要。本文的重点是团队合作。本文特别讨论了效能和态度如何影响信息科学与技术专业学生的团队合作,无论是虚拟的还是面对面的。尽管在线教育有了显著的发展,但讨论在线团队合作的文献仍然有限。虚拟团队和面对面团队有一些相似之处,但也有许多关键的区别,比如沟通、信任和地理边界。为了衡量虚拟和面对面团队的团队效率和态度,我们进行了一项调查并收集了数据。我们的研究结果表明,在线学生对团队合作的态度比面对面学生更消极,而两组学生的团队合作自我效能感水平相似。
