Why bring in COFSP Fellows into the RET/CEEMS classrooms? They are great role models for the field of engineering. Students in the classroom relate to them. They provide practical applications of math and science. They make students aware of the variety of engineering careers and what engineers actually do with the goal to encourage students to pursue STEM careers. They assist in the RET/CEEMS Teacher’s classroom and share their Senior Capstone projects.
What are the components of the COFSP Fellows, RET/CEEMS Teachers and CEEMS Fellows Program 2014-2015Program? CEEMS Teacher Leaders plan and present the Professional Development to COFSP Fellows on on Challenge Based Learning (CBL) and Engineering Design Process (EDP) pedagogies, as well as, Unit design using academic content standards. #1 Professional DevelopmentComponent→ Activity Development with ongoing Support
