Gibin Raju; Paul Feldkamp; Whitney Gaskins – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2024
Enrollment in high school physics across the United States of America is notably lower than in other scientific disciplines. Given that physics serves as a prerequisite for admission into many STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) degree programs, the lack of completion of this course at the high school level can significantly…

Pooler, Sarah Jane – ProQuest LLC, 2018
As our schools, communities, and government seek to prepare students for post-secondary education and careers in STEM fields, many districts have created stand-alone project-based STEM-focused schools. While this type of school has been the focus of studies, research is lacking regarding inclusive project-based STEM programs within comprehensive…

Secules, Stephen; Lawson, Wesley – Advances in Engineering Education, 2019
This paper compares an innovative approach to teaching a required introductory C programming course to a traditional C programming course for electrical engineering (EE) students. The novel course utilizes hardware-based projects to motivate students to master language syntax and implement key programming concepts and best practices. In a mixed…
