Engineering in K-12 Education: Understanding the Status and Improving the Prospects
“Engineering education in K-12 classrooms is a small but growing phenomenon that may have implications for engineering and also for the other STEM subjects–science, technology, and mathematics. Specifically, engineering education may improve student learning and achievement in science and mathematics, increase awareness of engineering and the work of engineers, boost youth interest in pursuing engineering as a career, and increase the technological literacy of all students. The teaching of STEM subjects in U.S. schools must be improved in order to retain U.S. competitiveness in the global economy and to develop a workforce with the knowledge and skills to address technical and technological issues.”

“Promotes engineering thinking and practice in formal and informal educational settings for pre-K through high school aged students, their teachers, group leaders, and caregivers. We also engage in shared scholarship to determine better ways to accomplish our goals, assess our impacts, and evaluate our progress. We seek to open the doors to engineering to all young people as a future career or as a way of finding solutions to everyday challenges.”

Engineering in K-12 Education: Understanding the Status and Improving the Prospects
“Engineering: An Introduction for High School is an open-source high school “flexbook” created using software developed by the CK–12 Foundation by engineering and education faculty at Arizona State University. The flexbook format allows the book to be customized for multiple audiences. The text can be updated, expanded, and repurposed as necessary to support specific standards and classroom needs. The current draft has four content chapters that cover the nature of engineering, engineering and society, engineering design, and the connection between engineering, science, and mathematics.”

Tunnel Through! – Activity – www.TeachEngineering.org
“Tunnel Through!
Contributed by: Integrated Teaching and Learning Program, College of Engineering, University of Colorado at Boulder
Photo shows two men looking at metal prongs coming through the side of a mountain with a crumbling rock pile in front of them.
Workers look at the TBM cutterhead after it reached daylight in April 1997, after a 2.5-year journey excavating through Yucca Mountain, NV. TBM is a tunnel boring machine.
Students apply their knowledge about mountains and rocks to transportation engineering, with the task of developing a model mountain tunnel that simulates the principles behind real-life engineering design. Student teams design and create model tunnels through a clay mountain, working within design constraints and testing for success; the tunnels must meet specific design requirements and withstand a certain load. “- – By valerie taylor
