2022 Inaugural Annual Report STEM for Success

Welcome to the Inaugural Annual Report of STEM for Success at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). Discover how we are promoting success for all through STEM education in this comprehensive report. As a project of the Collaborative for Leadership, Education, and Assessment Research (CLEAR) housed in the College of Science & Liberal Arts (CSLA), our efforts focus on broadening participation in STEM. Explore our initiatives, partnerships, and our impact in our region. Despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic, we have remained active and dedicated to supporting K-20 learners and stakeholders interested in making a positive impact through STEM. Join us on this inspiring journey of innovation and progress.https://digitalcommons.njit.edu/stemresources/1050/thumbnail.jp

Final Project Report NSF Award 1744490: NSF INCLUDES DDLP: Leadership and iSTEAM for Females in Elementary school (LiFE): An Integrated Approach to Increase the Number of Women Pursuing Careers in STEM

Disclaimer This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content. The LiFE project created and studied a comprehensive program bringing together iSTEAM, holistic student growth, modern technologies, and other supports to engage girls in STEM experiences through a collective impact approach. LiFE supported STEAM clubs with role models and utilized research-based best practices in co-design and community involvement. Educators were supported with relevant professional development for hands-on STEM, and 21st-century skills, including leadership and communication. LiFE\u27s goal was to impact 200 girls in grades 3-6 from four schools in 3 NJ districts. Interest in participation in the project was greater than we expected which enabled the project to expand.

Studying the Optimal Scheduling for Controlling Prostate Cancer under Intermittent Androgen Suppression

This retrospective study shows that the majority of patients’ correlations between PSA and Testosterone during the on-treatment period is at least 0.90. Model-based duration calculations to control PSA levels during off-treatment are provided. There are two pairs of models. In one pair, the Generalized Linear Model and Mixed Model are both used to analyze the variability of PSA at the individual patient level by using the variable “Patient ID” as a repeated measure. In the second pair, Patient ID is not used as a repeated measure but additional baseline variables are included to analyze the variability of PSA

STEM for All Showcase Report

This article provides a description of the development of the STEM in your Home project in the STEM for Success initiative

Tools for Teachers a STEM for Success Guide

This guide was created through the generous funding of the Howmet Aerospace Foundation. Our aim is to capture the experiences and best practices of STEM educators in New Jersey during the COVID-19 pandemic through focus groups. This led to the development of digital resources for hands-on STEM that would be useful for student learning in an online world.https://digitalcommons.njit.edu/stemresources/1005/thumbnail.jp

Hands-on Developmental Playbook for STEM Clubs in Elementary Schools

The following guide is the result of the work of NJIT researchers, staff, and student STEM role models along with the many public and private partners including Apple and the Us ARMY. The work was funded by the National Science Foundation through the NSF INCLUDES Life grant and support from Howmet Aerospace Foundation grants. The materials in the guide have been developed and tested with our New Jersey school district partners in Hillside, Long Branch, Morris Plains, Newark, Princeton, and Weehawken. See our strategic partners section for a more complete list of partners and collaborators.https://digitalcommons.njit.edu/stemresources/1003/thumbnail.jp
