Students from UTC\u2019s College of Engineering and Computer Science and College of Health, Education and Professional Studies will help conduct some of the programs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working on using Howard as one of our field placement sites for a few of our STEM courses,\u201d says Dr. Jennifer T. Ellis, STEM director in UTC\u2019s School of Education.<br \/>\n\u201cWe at the UTC College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) are delighted about this exciting new partnership with Chattanooga\u2019s Howard High School,\u201d says Julie David, director<\/p>\n<p>of the Center for Student Success in the college.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImportantly, UTC, CECS and TechTown are concurrently in the process of developing a three-year National Science Foundation grant proposal, led by our own Dr. Nesli Alp, which aims to improve our understanding of motivations under-represented high school students have in pursuing STEM careers,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Howard has an engineering lab, known as an eLab, with computers, 3-D printers, robotic equipment and other tools \u201cso partnering with them is key in preparing our students to be true STEM teachers,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Faculty and students from UTC will visit Howard to discuss STEM careers, present ways in which Howard students can collaborate with UTC programs and review Howard\u2019s current robotics curriculum. They also will help evaluate how Howard students respond to the STEM programs.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Earl, principal at Howard, saw the value of STEM-related projects such as robotics while working at his previous school in Columbia, S.C.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt promotes critical thinking, higher-level thinking,\u201d he says, a plus for students whether they head for college or straight into a career after high school.<\/p>\n<p>The new technological programs at Howard not only may lead to improved academics and higher SAT scores at the school, Earl says, they could convince some students to think about a career in engineering even if they\u2019d never considered it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look for forward to our ninth-graders spending four years at Howard then enrolling at UTC in engineering,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>TechTown has been in a partnership with Howard for the past three years, bringing STEM-related programs to the school, says Chris Ramsey, CEO of the organization, a local learning center that offers hands-on technology programs for teachers and students in second- through 12th grades. By working with Howard students, UTC will \u201cshow them what is possible\u201d with engineering, he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a recruitment pathway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On its end, Howard is required to develop a robotics curriculum, monitor its progress and provide teachers for various STEM classes.<\/p>\n<p>All three groups will work together to apply for STEM-related grants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new agreement between UTC, TechTown and the Howard School will directly benefit UTC students.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2017\/09\/utc-howard-techtown-collaborate-new-stem-program\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64,59,56,3,7712,8288],"tags":[50325,18548,50324],"class_list":{"0":"post-18551","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-college-of-engineering-and-computer-science","7":"category-college-of-health-education-and-professional-studies","8":"category-community","9":"category-faculty-and-staff","10":"category-news","11":"category-school-of-education","12":"tag-howard","13":"tag-stem","14":"tag-techtown","15":"entry","16":"has-post-thumbnail"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
