Abstract
The C-STEM grant had five activities. Three of the activities centered around the teaching pedagogy of Challenge-Based Instruction (CBI). Activity 2 focused on the professional development of university faculty on CBI. Activity 1 focused on the development of curricula materials for STEM university classes, while Activity 3 focused on the development of curricula materials for two STEM outreach programs: the Texas Pre-Freshman Engineering Program (TexPREP) which is a program for middle school and high school students; and the South Texas College Dual Enrollment Engineering Academy which is a high school program for students seeking dual enrollment. Moreover, Activity 4 was a research program for undergraduate STEM students that allowed them to conduct research under the guidance of a faculty mentor with the objective of increasing the number of students pursuing graduate degrees. Finally, Activity 5 focused on the STEM academic, professional, and career development of undergraduate and graduate students and also provided hands-on STEM activities to K-12 students.
