“…STEM education has become increasingly central to U.S. economic competitiveness and growth. Long-term strategies to maintain and increase living standards and promote opportunity will require unprecedented coordinated efforts among public, private, and non-profit entities to promote innovation and to prepare an adequate supply of qualified STEM workers that are capable of translating knowledge and skills into new processes, products, and services [2][3][4][5][6] .…”

Iowa, where she has taught introductory and advanced chemistry courses. She has also taught Inquiry into Physical Science, an inquiry-oriented introduction to physics and chemistry for elementary education majors, for the Department of Science Education. Jill is also the Projects Coordinator for the Iowa Mathematics and Science Education Partnership. She worked as the Director of the Young Scientists' Camp at UNI before joining the IMSEP team. While in graduate school, she volunteered with Expanding Your Horizons to encourage middle and junior high school girls' interest in mathematics and science. She received her Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Northern Iowa.

“…NASA-Threads provides school systems with a rigorous program that showcases a systems-level understanding of real-world applications of mathematics, science, and engineering. Our previous experience has shown that long-term impact on K12 students comes through close collaborative relationships between teachers and university faculty [4][5][6][7][8] . NASA-Threads provides a hands-on, context-based approach to math and science professional development in preparing teachers to become the educators of the future.…”

NASA-Threads is a hands-on, contextual approach to a high school STEM course. Teachers from three regional high schools and university faculty from STEM disciplines have developed a new, challenging, interdisciplinary junior/senior-level high school physics/pre-engineering curriculum.NASA-Threads integrates fundamental science and mathematics courses taught with engineering applications and the appropriate use of technology into a physics/pre-engineering curriculum targeting the junior/senior year of high school. The threads of this curriculum include Fundamentals, Technology, Communication, and NASA Applications. The fundamentals, which are grouped into blocks of similar topics, provide the backbone of the educational experience. NASA applications are strategically introduced to provide timely, hands-on reinforcement of fundamentals, and the progressive development of technical knowledge and skills.The rigorous curriculum is designed to guide students through a systems-level understanding of real-world applications of science and engineering. This project provides a hands-on, contextual approach to student learning, as well as teacher professional development. As part of the curriculum, data is being collected on student outcomes that quantify high school students' academic self-efficacy, real world problem solving, critical thinking skills, achievement in mathematics and the sciences, motivational and goal orientation, and vocational or career interests in STEM fields. Additionally, teacher outcomes, including self-efficacy, are being measured. This poster/paper will present the curriculum developed through the collaborative partnership between K12 schools systems and university.

“…Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education has become increasingly central to national economic competitiveness and growth in almost every developing and developed country. Long-term strategies to maintain and increase living standards and promote opportunity will require unprecedented coordinated efforts among public, private, and non-profit entities to promote research and innovation and to prepare an adequate supply of qualified STEM workers that are capable of translating knowledge and skills into new processes, products, and services [11][12]. Specialization in STEM fields differs among countries, with the United States, European Union countries, and Japan focusing more in health sciences, while China and India specialize more in engineering and technology as measured by journal articles and conference papers [12].…”

Committees. His research interests, grants, and more than 50 publications are in the areas of AC/DC Power System Interactions, distributed energy systems, power quality, and grid-connected renewable energy applications including solar and wind power systems. He is a senior member of IEEE, member of ASEE, Tau Beta Pi National Engineering Honor Society, and ATMAE. Dr. Pecen was recognized as an Honored Teacher/Researcher in "Who's Who among America's Teachers" in 2004-2009. Dr. Pecen is a recipient of 2010 Diversity Matters Award at the University of Northern Iowa for his efforts on promoting diversity and international education at UNI. He is also a recipient of 2011 UNI C.A.R.E Sustainability Award for the recognition of applied research and development of renewable energy applications at UNI and Iowa in general. Dr. Pecen established solar electric boat R & D center at UNI where dozens of students were given opportunities to design solar powered boats. UNI solar electric boat team with Dr. Pecen's supervision won two times a third place overall in World Championship on solar electric boating, an international competition promoting clean transportation technologies in US waters. He was recognized as an Advisor of the Year Award nominee among 8 other UNI faculty members in 2010-2011 academic year Leadership Award Ceremony. Dr. Pecen received a Milestone Award for outstanding mentoring of graduate students at UNI, and recognition from UNI Graduate College for acknowledging the milestone that has been achieved in successfully chairing ten or more graduate student culminating projects, theses, or dissertations, in 2011 and 2005.
