Opportunities

Topics:  We  welcome  submissions  on  methods  of  and  experience  with  integrated,  interdisciplinary education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). We are particularly interested in  papers  on  initiatives  that  have  resulted  in  the  development  of  a  community  that  encourages,  mentors, and  uplifts  its  members  in  STEM  studies,  especially  among  students  and  educators  from  traditionally underrepresented populations in the disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Integration of Engineering (Design) into Traditional K-12 Curriculum
• Integrated Studies Across the Curriculum:  STEM * Humanities * Social Science
• Instructional Support for STE(a)M Concepts and Practices
• Integrated Disciplinary-focused Approaches
• Novel Implementations of Pre-College Initiatives and Outreach Programs
• Diversity-Aware Methods and Practices in STEM Education
• Implications of Integrated Education to Policies and Organizational Change
• Fundamental and Applied Educational Research in Integrated/Interdisciplinary Education

Your work must not have been published or submitted for  publication  elsewhere.    All  accepted  submissions  will  be  scheduled  for  presentation  at  the  conference and included in the proceedings.  All presented
