The attrition of undergraduates who enter STEM degree programs but do not earn a STEM undergraduate degree is an area of national concern. “Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education” the 2011 report from AAAS/NSF and “Engage to Excel” the 2012 report from the Presidents Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) are two national calls to action on this issue and advocate for significant reform in the way undergraduate STEM education is delivered. The learning objectives of this interactive session are to, 1) provide context to the national call to action on undergraduate STEM education reform, 2) present an overview of initiatives at USF that are designed to change how undergraduate STEM education is delivered, and 3) present case-studies of inquiry-based approaches in undergraduate STEM education that inspire students about STEM disciplines. This session should have widespread benefit to anyone engaged in teaching STEM disciplines at any level who has an interest what is happeing in higher education and who wish to learn about innovations that help to engage trainees to "work the problem".

This is a 40-60 minute active engagement workshop is designed to inspire middle and high school students to engage in STEM disciplines. Students who attend the session will: 1) Understand how genetic changes underlie mutations 2) Understand the agents that may lead to mutations 3) Actively adapt to a specific mutation in order to consume a food source 4) Hypothesize about the survival of a species with different mutation 5) Understand how genetic engineering is used to create and study mutations The centerpiece of the session is an "experiment" in which the student population is given “mutations” and they must adapt in order to collect a food source (Starburst Candy). The field of genetic engineering is used as a platform to frame the experiment and provide a call to action for the future.
