What is the STEM Bridge?
Anne Arundel Community College National STEM Consortium Technical Proposal “Each of the STEM pathways will include a STEM Bridge. The STEM Bridge will be programmatically consistent across the five fields and transferable to other colleges, and will integrate basic skills, workforce skills, computer skills, and job readiness training, contextualized within the pathway.”
![Page 10: NATIONAL STEM CONSORTIUM](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103102/5681688d550346895ddf11ca/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Co-Development Partners
• National STEM Consortium – STEM Bridge Team• Carnegie Mellon’s Open Learning Initiative (OLI)• CAST – addresses learner variability through Universal
Design for Learning and accessibility. • Industry partners• Offered assistance in developing realistic scenarios and
provided company name and images – ARINC
• Industry experts offered experience in developing realistic scenarios but company names are fictitious.

Two Part Strategy
STEM Bridge is a two-part strategy to provide support to learners in the STEM certificate programs
Part 1: “STEM Readiness” Course• Embedded contextualized online course built in OLI’s Platform+ system that
quickly refreshes key skills for learners entering the credit certificates directly.
Part 2: “STEM Foundations” Course• Modularized set of curriculum “bundles” that can be adapted and inserted by
colleges wherever needed to provide support for lower level learners who need to build foundational skills in Math and Workplace Communication before entering the credit certificates.

Learning Outcomes-Based Curriculum
The STEM Bridge Team surveyed all five technical teams to determine what key skills were needed in each of the five
pathways.
The team developed a master set of learning outcomes that were common to most of the technical pathways:
ESSENTIAL SKILLSMath
Critical Thinking and Workplace CommunicationProfessional Skills (Customer Service, Teamwork etc.)

Learn By Doing Activities
![Page 16: NATIONAL STEM CONSORTIUM](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103102/5681688d550346895ddf11ca/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Learner Analytics
• Students - instant feedback from the Learn By Doing and Did I Get This? activities and end of module quizzes.
• Instructors - view student mastery of learning outcomes in the instructor dashboard and tailor face to face instruction to help students who are having challenges with specific parts of the course.
• Colleges/Administrators – track usage and other data

Assessment: End of Module Quizzes
• Summary provided for all modules
• Extra Practice Problems available
• Assessment questions tied to objectives
• Assessments feed gradebook and Instructor’s Dashboard
![Page 19: NATIONAL STEM CONSORTIUM](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103102/5681688d550346895ddf11ca/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Flexible Delivery
• Hybrid format with face to face instruction to support.• Online only in class or in attached lab.• Delivered up front in first term or spread across
multiple terms as needed by each team.• Inserted into key points in the technical curriculum.• Delivered as credit or (0 credit) credit equivalent
modules.
![Page 20: NATIONAL STEM CONSORTIUM](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103102/5681688d550346895ddf11ca/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Adaptable for Other Programs
• Modularized units can be inserted as needed to support credit, non-credit or technical curriculum.• Embed modules into the credit courses where they are needed:
Teamwork module might help students learn how to collaborate more effectively in labs.
• Adapt and contextualize for other career pathways using the same learning outcomes:• Analyze information from multiple sources and determine appropriate actions
for a given situation.• Listen to a conversation and compose an effective summary of the information.
• ARINC Air Operations Center• Hospital Emergency Room • Police Emergency Dispatch

STEM Foundations: Lower Level Learners
Twenty-two short modules focusing on the development of key skills that are lacking in lower level learners will be built in the Platform+ system.
Examples:• Identify main idea and supporting ideas and summarize• Build a paragraph and write a short essay• Prepare and deliver an effective presentation• Apply Order of Operations in math• Explain concept of a variable
