Projected Outcome
This anticipated project outcome is that our programs will demonstrate to the at-risk students that education is the answer to a better future and a career in science and/or technology is a way to make that happen.
Program evaluation will be by pre and post quantitative and qualitative data gathering methodologies. Examples include handouts, focus groups, crossword puzzles, inter-active video, class discussions, hands-on team projects, staff observations, and class STEM projects. We will use these assessment tools to measure the students’ progress and comprehension of a STEM topic. This data will be collected and analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of the program.
The ECU-School of Engineering will provide student instructors who will provide feedback to the IBX STEM staff as to the effectiveness of the program. This will help to contribute to a successful program outcome.
