Applications are invited for 3-6 full-time, open rank, tenure-track faculty positions in the College of Education, Engineering, and/or Technology to develop the Innovations in P-12 sTEm Education Initiative.  The College of Education, Engineering and Technology at Purdue University are pleased to announce a new collaboration aimed at attracting faculty who can provide leadership in developing research-based, pedagogically valid strategies for effective interventions that begin in the early elementary environment and guide P-20 engineering and technology pathways.  Innovations in P-12 sTEm Education is aligned with national initiatives focused on STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), with an emphasis on the often neglected T and E fields, i.e. Technology and Engineering.  Across our colleges our P-12 programs will apply research-based best practices and cultivate long term partnerships to stimulate personal growth, creativity, and lifelong learning that will motivate and prepare the next generation of professionals in engineering and technology to be leaders in our rapidly evolving global economy.  Specifically we seek to build a core of interdisciplinary faculty who are committed to:

• Conducting research to discover how young children learn and engage in sTEm, and how employing experiential practices, problem solving skills, and design can enhance learning;
• Utilizing cutting-edge technology associated with gaming, augmented reality, and virtual reality, to deliver P-12 curricula in engineering and technology in innovative and more effective ways;
• Developing in-service and pre-service teacher preparation programs in P-12 engineering and technology;
• Developing relevant, authentic, and standards-based P-12 curriculum around the concepts of engineering artifacts, experience, and design;
• Assessing student learning of engineering and technology concepts in the P-12 environment through quantitative and qualitative assessment methods tied to specific program standards, goals and objectives;
• Increasing society’s appreciation and working knowledge of how science and math are related to engineering and technology and impact everyday life;
• Investigating factors that will attract more women and minorities into engineering and technology;
• Leading advocacy efforts with state and national legislators to influence policy-making and impact resources available to increase public support of P-12 sTEm learning;
• Research-based inquiry into P-12 sTEm educational initiatives and reform.

Position Opportunities:  The sTEm faculty will have opportunities to work closely with existing initiatives at Purdue that focus on P-12 STEM education such as:

• CRESME - The Center for Research and Engagement in Science and Mathematics Education (new - web site is in progress)
• DLC - the Discovery Learning Center
