 Technology Center is hosting the NEW conference November 3-5, 2013 at 
our Riverside Campus. The purpose of the conference is to provide STEM 
educators from secondary and &amp;nbsp;college/university educators &amp;nbsp;the 
opportunity to share best practices of instruction in the engineering 
sciences, particularly relating to Material Science.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;I have attached a
 “save-the-date” card and a “call for papers or presentations”.&amp;nbsp; I would

On behalf of Oklahoma State University and the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Technology, we would like to invite your junior students to attend OSU CEAT J-Day 2013. This year?s CEAT Junior Day will take place on Friday, April 19th from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at the OSU main campus in Stillwater. The day-long event features an Avengers theme, speakers on various topics related to engineering, architecture, and technology, introductory breakout sessions for students: individual interests, creative competitions (for prizes!) based on problem-solving and real-world skills, catered breakfast and lunch from Stillwater&#39;s own Red Rock Bakery, and tours of the college and campus. This is a great opportunity for students who have an interest in engineering, technology, math, science, or students who are unsure of what major they might be interested in to learn more about the fields they can pursue and to experience the amazing culture of Oklahoma State.

We encourage you to extend this invitation to all of your junior students, advertise with the attached flyer, and inform their teachers of this opportunity. The cost per student is only $10, which includes breakfast, lunch, a t-shirt, and a day on the beautiful OSU campus that will be packed full of fun and educational experiences. This cost can be covered by your school, if possible, or by the individual students. Please register your students (or have them register individually) by completing the form located online at http://www.strikingly.com/osujuniorday. The deadline to register is Friday, March 29th. There are a limited number of spots available and spots are filled on a first come, first serve basis. Payment by cash, check or money order (made out to OSU CEAT Student Council) must also be mailed after registration to Oklahoma State University, Attn: CEAT Freshman Council, 101 Engineering North, Stillwater, OK 74078. More details will be sent to you or to the students via email after this initial registration. If you wish to bring students from your school as a group or if you have any questions, please contact the J-Day 2013 coordinators at seth.cleary@okstate.edu or price.buckley@okstate.edu, or reply to this email and we will direct your question. We hope your students will join us on April 19th for this exciting learning experience!

your budget, the seasons, or any of your students&#39; whims of curiosity when you guide
them through experiments of their own design. You&#39;ll come away from a CLC 5-day
Summer Workshop knowing how to:


* Create an interactive, exploration-based environment in your classroom
* Teach students the value of using the peer review method to clean up project proposals
before data collection begins and review conclusions before they are published
* Use statistical analysis methods such as chi-squared, linear regression and t-testing
to determine if the data collected meets the p-value necessary to reject the null
hypothesis
* Share students&#39; analysis and conclusions in unique ways, so that everyone learns
from each others&#39; discoveries
* Teach your students to collaborate as a group of peer explorers who question the
world through scientific reasoning

If you would like to add these skills to your repertoire, please join me for a 5-day
Summer Workshop this year in Asheville, NC, where we will do all of these things
and more using hands-on learning and critical-thinking activities.

The Need for Women in Engineering (presentation on Friday))</title><description>You are invited to attend the 45 min presentation at no&lt;br /&gt;charge.  It is at TU, ACAC, 9 AM this Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why Should I Care Who?s An Engineer? The Need for Women in Engineering&lt;br /&gt;Tulsa Engineering Summit, Friday, March 2nd, 9:00 ? 9:45 AM,&lt;br /&gt;University of Tulsa, Allen Chapman Activity Center&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent years, the technical community has looked at ways to&lt;br /&gt;increase the number of individuals in engineering.  In evaluating the&lt;br /&gt;data of what makes up the population of current engineers, it helps&lt;br /&gt;us look at where future engineers may be - the under-represented&lt;br /&gt;areas today ? women, minorities, etc.  In the spirit of educating&lt;br /&gt;technical communities about the importance of this issue, Cathy&lt;br /&gt;Pieronek will present statistics about the under-representation of&lt;br /&gt;women and minorities in engineering, provide information about why we&lt;br /&gt;need more in engineering, and discuss the changes needed to bring&lt;br /&gt;more women and minorities into the field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;br /&gt;Cathy Pieronek is Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs and Director of&lt;br /&gt;the Women&#39;s Engineering Program at the University of Notre Dame&lt;br /&gt;College of Engineering. She earned her B.S. in aerospace engineering&lt;br /&gt;and her law degree from the University of Notre Dame and her M.S. in&lt;br /&gt;aerospace engineering from UCLA. She has worked as a systems engineer&lt;br /&gt;on NASA projects for TRW Space &amp; Defense Sector in Redondo Beach, CA,&lt;br /&gt;and as Director of External Relations for the Notre Dame Law School.&lt;br /&gt;In her current role, Cathy is responsible for the academic progress&lt;br /&gt;of all of the college&#39;s undergraduates, with a special emphasis on&lt;br /&gt;women. She has worked within the college and across the university to&lt;br /&gt;address issues that affect the retention of women. Her efforts have&lt;br /&gt;led to a variety of programmatic changes that improved the retention&lt;br /&gt;of women from first year to sophomore year, bringing women&#39;s&lt;br /&gt;retention on par with men&#39;s and raising the retention rates of all&lt;br /&gt;students.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cathy&#39;s research interests focus on engineering education, and&lt;br /&gt;particularly on issues that affect the persistence of women in&lt;br /&gt;engineering, and on Title IX and the relationship of the&lt;br /&gt;gender-equity law to both academic and athletic opportunities for&lt;br /&gt;women.  She has published and presented peer-reviewed papers on&lt;br /&gt;various aspects of her research at conferences sponsored by the&lt;br /&gt;American Society for Engineering Education, Society of Women&lt;br /&gt;Engineers, Women in Engineering ProActive Network, Frontiers in&lt;br /&gt;Education and American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and&lt;br /&gt;has appeared on television shows discussing equality for women in&lt;br /&gt;academics and athletics.</description><link>http://careertechstem.blogspot.com/2012/02/why-should-i-care-whos-engineer-need.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Oklahoma STEM)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269293757872708088.post-6486687287125052316</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:57:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-02-13T10:46:12.152-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Gateway</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Leadership Team</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Pre-Engineering</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Technology Engineering</category><title>FIRST Roboitcs March 29-31</title><description>Good Afternoon Volunteers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The regional is just around the corner and the final preparations are underway.
