Internationalization of STEM Pathways using Cultural Arts with

Internationalization of STEM Pathways using Cultural Arts with 3 D thinking and printing Technology to reduce world-wide student engagement inequalities Internationalization of higher education is a process of integrating intercultural dimensions into the teaching, research, and service functions of the institution. Presenter: Ellafe A. Cockroft, Ph. D. FCIE October 2. 2015 Gainesville, Florida

Internationalization of “College to Career” Learning Outcomes • 1) Provide positive student engagement in STEM Pathways for retention, transfer and graduation • 2) Demonstrate the importance of crossdisciplinary cooperative learning for a students’ quality of life and sustainable education. • 3) Case studies on Blended learning, Flipped Classroom, and Service Learning are provided with examples for creating goodwill and support for US in foreign policy, and humanitarian needs.

Technology, Best Practices, and Spaces to Support Mullti-cultural Student Engagement • Challenge local and global students pursuing STEM pathways to think critically and creatively utilizing 3 D computational thinking with applied 3 D printing technology. • Focus on retention to graduation in terms of the question: “How do we support our students to help them get the most from their international college education? ”

Professional Development Day Broward College February 23, 2014 • Fact: The global workforce and South Florida faces a shortage in the skilled STEM workforce. • Question: How can college students gain an economic footing and compete in a knowledgebased global economy? 3 D printers take center stage

3 D Printing as a STEM Teaching Tool Broward College Professional Development Day presented by Ellafe and Robert Cockroft 3 D printing technology represents an ideal STEM teaching tool, to engage multi-cultural students to learn the process of 1) critical thinking, QEP’s 2) problem solving, POGIL 3) creating 3 D products

Multi-cultural Student Engagement at Broward College- Central campus Compared five CCSSE (NSSE) community college benchmarks 1)2)Active collaborative learning, 2) Student effort, 3)1) Academic challenge, 4) 4) Student-faculty interaction, 5) 5) Support for learners.

Enriched Student Experience Student Affairs Group Activity 4 r. Discussed ideas from classes with others outside of class (students, family members, co-workers). 5 c. Synthesizing and organizing ideas, information, or experiences in new ways.

Level of Academic Challenge 4 f. Worked with other students on projects during class • Students who are engaged in meaningful educational activities with exceptional value are more likely to be successful.

STEM Center Spaces that enabled 3 D printing • What's different now is that this technology is beginning to scale. We can now have a number of networked printers in a space to support the production of 3 D printing by students • Extended experiences possible to students, at the same time provide new ways for faculty to include more active learning experiences in their courses.

General Chemistry Class: Students in TEP program and Nuclear medicine • 3 D printing, also referred to as additive manufacturing (AM), rapid prototyping (RP), or solid-freeform • technology (SFF), was developed by Charles Hull. With a B. S. in engineering physics from the University of Colorado

Active and Collaborative Learning 1. Positive self-report of quality of academic experience, 2. Intention to continue with STEM major significantly different than first-year students Pre-test STEM major course intentions were positively correlated with 3 D printing QEP’s and GPA: r (67)=. 74, p <. 01, Post-test intentions r (67)=. 82, p <. 01. Participate in 3 D printing with a STEM service-learning course was correlated with re-enrollment the following year: beta=1. 83, p <. 05, chi-square(1)=4. 94, p<. 05 Notes: r = coefficient of correlation p = probability of status quo beta is slope of regression analysis

Made In Space 3 D-printed a ratcheting socket wrench Another historic first, when Mike Chen of Made In-Space and colleagues 3 D-printed a ratcheting socket wrench The 3 D printer received the code for the part, located in the Microgravity Science Glovebox located in the Columbus laboratory of ISSS, and printed it out on the space station.

Create a 3 D-Printed Dress Nervous Systems’ Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg have teamed up with Shapeways Kinematics Cloth printing system Created a 3 D-printed dress that was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art (Mo. MA) in New York City Using algorithms to generate complex and foldable forms, the team at Nervous created a single-print 3 D printed dress that intelligently minimizes material to create a finished plastic product that flows like fabric Published by Sandra Helsel, December 10, 2014 11: 20 am
