STEM practices (such as designing experiments or defining requirements) is a phrase often used to describe the set of\u00a0<\/span>reasoning and problem-solving skills<\/span><\/i>\u00a0that scientists and engineers use to understand the natural world and to solve problems. These practices are highly valued in the workforce, although they are often put under the umbrella of critical-thinking or problem-solving skills. In a series of interviews with mentors from the Akamai Internship Program, we identified the specific practices that were most valued by observatory and industry employers, which included: designing within requirements, defining a problem, and supporting a solution by evaluating tradeoffs (Seagroves & Hunter, 2010).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Employees who are good at these practices are better able to adapt to rapid changes in technology and are often more successful.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default”

feedback. To accomplish this, we encourage mentors to focus on one STEM practice that:<\/p>\n Once a STEM practice is decided upon, the mentor can identify the subtle and challenging aspects of it, common mistakes, and what it looks like when a person is successfully using the STEM practice. This \u201cunpacking\u201d or decomposing a complex skill into components is an important part of developing mastery (Ambrose, et al., Chapter 4, 2010).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”My Books” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-545c17f1-4e53-478d-9e2b-03daafc524a2″ da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-545c17f1-4e53-478d-9e2b-03daafc524a2%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”Choosing a STEM practice for the intern to learn” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”_initial” title_level=”h2″ title_font=”Sedan||||||||” title_text_align=”center” title_font_size=”52px” title_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” title_font_size_tablet=”32px” title_font_size_phone=”20px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”19px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″ text_line_height=”1.8em”]<\/p>\n Mentors are encouraged to choose from STEM practices that are valued and fairly common in their field.
