Drexel Engineering Noyce

德雷克塞尔·诺伊斯工程学院(Drexel Engineering Noyce，DEN)将开展Noyce Track 1(奖学金和津贴)项目，招募考虑从事STEM教学工作的本科生工程师，目标是在5年的授权期内培养至少26名获得认证的中级STEM教师。DEN将支持在课堂上真正实施探究和工程设计，吸引那些本科教育处于工程设计和STEM内容领域的交叉点的个人，同时为这些个人提供教育学习计划和以探究为导向的教育学。DEN毕业生将帮助确保下一代个人有资格参与和领导以STEM为中心的经济，并能够帮助解决该项目的主要合作伙伴地区费城学区合格STEM教师的短缺问题。DEN将推出专门针对工程学的招聘、保留和社区建设努力，包括：(A)以工程学院的知名教职员工和学生大使为特色的工程学招聘工作；(B)明确将工程学作为一门科学学科，并将工程学应用程序嵌入STEM教师认证计划；以及(C)推出专门针对DEN的活动，如工程教育演讲者系列活动，为DEN参与者提供学术和社会支持以及参与机会。DEN学者将有机会参加区域和国家教育会议并发表演讲。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师职业中取得成功的工具和资源。最终，费城学区学校将受益于26名STEM教师，他们具有独特的地位，能够有效地响应下一代科学标准的号召，将工程设计提升到STEM教学中科学探究的水平。

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.
