Drexel Engineering Noyce

Drexel Engineering Noyce（DEN）将开展Noyce Track 1（奖学金津贴）项目，以招募本科工程师考虑STEM教学职业，并旨在在五年的资助期内培养至少26名经过认证的中学STEM教师。DEN将支持查询和工程设计在课堂上的真实实施，通过利用其本科教育存在于工程设计和STEM内容领域的交叉点的个人，同时为这些人提供教育和探究式教学法的学习计划。DEN毕业生将帮助确保下一代人有资格参与并领导以STEM为中心的经济，并能够帮助解决费城学区合格STEM教师短缺的问题，该学区是该项目的主要合作区。DEN将引入工程特定的招聘，保留和社区建设工作，包括（a）工程专业的招聘工作，包括工程学院的高知名度教职员工和学生大使;（B）明确将工程视为一门科学学科，并将工程应用嵌入STEM教师认证计划;以及（c）介绍DEN的特定活动，例如工程教育演讲者系列，为DEN参与者提供学术和社会支持以及参与机会。DEN学者将有机会参加并出席区域和国家教育会议。校友将参加由德雷克塞尔教育学院设计的入职支持计划，以确保他们拥有在教学专业取得成功的工具和资源。最终，费城学区的学校将受益于26名STEM教师，他们具有独特的优势，能够有效地应对下一代科学标准的要求，将工程设计提升到与STEM教学中的科学探究相同的水平。

Drexel Engineering Noyce (DEN) will undertake a Noyce Track 1 (Scholarships & Stipends) project to recruit undergraduate engineers to consider STEM teaching careers, and aims to produce at least 26 certified, secondary STEM teachers over the five-year grant period. DEN will support authentic implementation of inquiry and engineering design in classrooms by drawing upon individuals whose undergraduate education exists at the intersection of engineering design and STEM content areas while simultaneously providing these individuals with a program of study in education and inquiry-oriented pedagogy. DEN graduates will both help ensure that the next generation of individuals are qualified to participate and lead in a STEM-centered economy and able to help address the shortage of qualified STEM teachers in the School District of Philadelphia, the primary partner district of the project.DEN will introduce engineering specific recruitment, retention and community-building efforts, including (a) engineering-specific recruitment efforts featuring high-profile faculty, staff and student ambassadors from the College of Engineering; (b) explicitly valuing engineering as a scientific discipline and embedding engineering applications into STEM teacher certification programs; and (c) introducing DEN-specific events, such as an engineering education speaker's series, providing academic and social support and engagement opportunities for DEN participants. DEN scholars will have the opportunity to participate and present at regional and national education conferences. Alumni will participate in induction support programs designed by Drexel's School of Education to ensure that they have the tools and resources to succeed in the teaching profession. Ultimately, School District of Philadelphia schools will benefit from 26 STEM teachers uniquely positioned to effectively address the Next Generation Science Standards' call to elevate engineering design to the same level as scientific inquiry in STEM instruction.
