Analyzing & Developing STEM Programs & Initiatives ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

This course will focus on the development of Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics (STEM) education initiatives or services. The course will build on any earlier identification of organizations that currently provide STEM initiative or services, adding further analysis of those programs. Students in this course will assume the role of a STEM leader of an organization, identify a major focus (i.e. gender, race & ethnicity, etc.), and a lever (i.e. Women, Early Childhood Education, K-16, etc.) and develop an initiative or service for their organization that best responds to the chosen lever, based on a set of provided criteria.
