RESEARCH AWARDS—Continued Principal Investigator, Learning through Engineering Design and Practice: Using our Human Capital for an Equitable Future, Sponsor: National Science Foundation, Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Learning Settings, Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers, Award #0737616, $1,079,985, September 2007 - August 2012 With Co-PIs: Dale R. Baker, Science Education; Stephen Krause, Materials Science; James A. Middleton, Mathematics Education; Sharon Kurpius-Robinson, Counseling Psychology; Chell A. Roberts, Engineering; Monica Elser, Sustainability; Wendy Taylor, ASU Mars Project. The project engaged 120, 7th and 8th grade female and minority students traditionally under-represented in the STEM fields in multi-year out-of-school technological design and problem solving experiences during Fall 2007 – Spring 2010. Collaborating teachers received professional development so they could help facilitate project curricula at diverse middle school sites. Students used the engineering design process to simulate desert tortoise behaviors, research and develop designs to mitigate the urban heat island, build small-scale renewable energy resources, design autonomous rovers capable of navigating Mars-like terrain, and develop a model habitat for humans to live on Mars. Participants and families gained first-hand knowledge of STEM educational and career pathways. Research is aimed at understanding strategies that are successful in enhancing middle school students’ interest in STEM education and career pathways. Project curricula were field tested as a part of the school day in a charter school as well as a traditional public school during Fall 2010 – Spring 2012. Professional development was offered to educators to facilitate whole school implementation of engineering design projects. Project curricula were implemented with high school students and in freshmen engineering programs during the 2011-12 year.

Principal Investigator, Engineering Energy & Efficacy, Sponsor: J P Morgan Chase Bank, $60,000, June 2011 - July 2012 This project developed capacity in fourth grade educators from Isaac School District to implement engineering design projects around energy concepts. Educators experienced for themselves engineering design projects, learned about the engineering design process, explored information about engineering majors and careers, and learned about energy concepts: electricity, electrical circuits, and renewable energy through hands-on experiences. Educators implemented lessons in their classrooms and were supported by academic coaches in their implementation efforts. Research is focused on studying teacher efficacy and student motivation in science and engineering resulting from this effort.

Principal Investigator, Girls in Engineering: Shaping the Future, Sponsor: Engineering Information Foundation, $20,000, March 2011 - June 2012 A study of 60 sixth-grade female students’ development of engineering design skills and concepts over one year. Funding awarded to launch year 1 of a longitudinal study aimed at providing year-round experiences to students from sixth grade to a year after they complete grade 12. Girls in Engineering aims to closely study the impact of an out-of-school engineering education program on participants and their families using a longitudinal cohort-based study design with attention to middle school girls’ academic content knowledge, STEM interests and attitudes, and STEM education and career pathways.

Co-Principal Investigator, Science Foundation Arizona (SFAz) Graduate Research Fellows K-12/Industry Programs at Arizona State University, Sponsor: Science Foundation of Arizona, $1,760,000, July 2009 - June 2012 With R. F. Shangraw (PI), Vice President Research & Economic Affairs; Andrew Weber, Associate Vice Provost Graduate Education; Maria Allison, Vice Provost & Dean, Graduate College. The SFAz Graduate Research Fellows program engaged in K- 12 education and workforce development through two outreach activities: a partnership with the Kyrene School District and a summer research experience for teachers at the ASU Biodesign Institute. A collaborative effort of the ASU Graduate College, Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering, & the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences ensures that doctoral students who are SFAz fellows and collaborating K-12 teachers will enhance K-12 pupil interest in- and knowledge of- STEM careers and fields. The focus is on developing future scientists and engineers who are public intellectuals actively engaged in the grand challenges of our time. The project piloted its efforts in one Kyrene Middle School eventually expanding to include all six middle schools in the district. Twenty-four after school programs were offered to 550 middle school students. Participant educators are integrating these co-developed curricular efforts into their school-day instructional practices.


RESEARCH AWARDS—Continued Co-Principal Investigator, Partnership, Pathway and Pipeline for Engineering Education: Engaging Middle School Students with Curricular Integration and Societal Relevance, Sponsor: National Science Foundation, Division of Engineering Education and Centers, Award #0836040, $99,830, January 2009 - December 2011 With Deirdre R.

Aimed at developing, testing, and refining messaging through television, iTunes U, and print media, this proposal will make the National Academy of Engineering’s position statement about engineering relevant to the lives of the lay public.


RESEARCH PROPOSALS (NOT FUNDED) Principal Investigator, Re-engineering Elementary Science Education (RESE): Facilitating Systemic Change using PBS Design Squad Challenges, Sponsor: National Science Foundation, Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Learning Settings, Discovery Research K-12, Dollar Amount: $ 2,999,989, Proposed Period: 06/01/14 - 05/31/18 Collaborators: Marisa Wolsky, Design Squad, WGBH Boston; Laura Neville, Director, Curriculum and Assessment, Kyrene School District. This project addresses elementary science instruction by integrating engineering design challenges and language arts with science in grades 4 and 5. Using design-based education research RESE brings together knowledge from education research and practice, and leverages the media-rich resources and engineering design-based learning activities available through NSF-funded WGBH Design Squad, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning series with a multimedia interactive website. RESE engages in iterative teacher development and refinement of curricular resources to purposefully impact student learning and achievement in science, engineering, and language arts in average US elementary classrooms. Students will experience and develop an understanding of key science and engineering practices: asking questions/ defining problems, conducting investigations, analyzing data, constructing explanations/ designing solutions, arguing from evidence, and communicating information. A model for system-wide implementation of elementary science education consisting of the integration of science and engineering with language arts will result from a systematic examination of project efforts. This model of engaging in systemic change will benefit other education systems.
