In 50 thoughtful steps, Dr. Crowley guides you through the process of creating a learning environment that will motivate your STEM students to complete rigorous and long-duration STEM projects.
In this first-in-a-series guide, Dr. Crowley shares techniques that have motivated his STEM students to perform at high levels over the last 25 years. In the Principle in Practice areas of this book he lays out clear examples of how he applies each of the 50 steps/principles in his classroom. Dr. Crowley's ability to excite students about Engineering and Robotics has been recognized by many organizations over the years, and most recently in 2015, when he was named an Excite Award recipient from the Lemelson Foundation-MIT School of Engineering. A group of his students was also selected as one of 14 National Winners of the Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams invention initiative in 2015.
Here is a list of the topics covered in this guide:
• Setting the stage for learning.
• Pedagogy that works when teaching STEM.
• A Reverse Engineering approach for program, course, unit, and lesson development.
• A multi-disciplinary approach to your curriculum.
• How to teach Engineering well.
• Growing your program with the community as your partner.
• Blue Ribbon engineering and robotics projects.
