Description
Legislative changes and discussions about the United States falling further and further behind other nations in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) achievement are growing. As they grow, STEM instruction in elementary school has earned its place as a national area of interest in education. In the case of Ivory School District, teachers are being asked to radically change their daily practices by consistently implementing inquiry-based STEM experiences in their classrooms. As such, teachers are being asked to scale a divide between the district expectations and their knowledge and experience. Many fourth grade educators are teachers who have been trained as generalists and typically do not have specific background or experience in the philosophy, instructional strategies, or content associated with STEM. Using a prototype approach, this study aims to understand how such teachers conceptualize STEM instruction and the relationship between their experience and conceptions.

Description
The goal of this creative thesis is to focus on the experience of women in the field of STEM and more specifically civil engineering. This project will explore four main topics surrounding women in the workforce: how women navigate and succeed in a workforce with predominant male presence, how women advance their career given the gender barriers of the industry, including motherhood, and “impostor syndrome” in the workforce
