Abstract :
In this paper we propose a new multi-strategy model for immersing students in STEM. Rooted in the current research and experiences, the new practices are being developed and implemented in a college-based hybrid STEM learning center that is geared to serve as a hub connecting high schools, higher education institutions, and industries bringing new and existing strategies together into one integral system with unique online features. The Hub model would serve as an educational research laboratory contributing to the knowledge base about STEM by investigating what strategies (or combination of what strategies) will best support student development for the STEM workforce. In addition, the model would illustrate the importance of interconnection between engineering education research and engineering education practice.
