WORKSHOP INFORMATIONProposed Title:Hands-On Standards: Using an Engineering Mini-Challenge to “Bundle” StandardsAbstract: Please provide a concise description that includes the workshop’s learning objectives(maximum 750 characters). The abstract is used on the ASEE website, program materials, andother K-12 Workshop promotional activities.Participants of this workshop will engage in activities from a project-based engineeringcurriculum by discussing how a class can plan and carry out an experiment to identify optimalsolutions to a stated engineering problem, analyzing a provided data set from such an activity,and discussing tradeoffs between efficiency and accuracy. Following the activity, participantswill divide into groups to explore alignment with different sets of standards, including NextGeneration Science Standards and Common Core State Standards in both English/Language Artsand Mathematics. Groups will report their results and discuss implications for making suchconnections in their own curricula.Workshop Description. Please provide a detailed description of the proposed workshop that, atminimum, explicitly addresses the following (maximum 4,000 characters):         a. Learning objectives         b. Hands-on activities and interactive exercises         c. Materials that participants can take with them         d. Practical application for teachers and outreach staff2015-ASEE-K12-Proposal-Form_Engineer Your World_Hands-On Standards.docx                 Page 2 of 5                    WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                     Saturday, June 13, 2015                                     8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.                                  Sheraton Seattle | Seattle | WALearning Objectives: Learning objectives may be divided into two categories: (1) engineeringcontent, skills and practices; and (2) alignment across different sets of standards. In the formercategory, participants will learn about design of experiments, data analysis and interpretation,using computational and mathematical models as evidence to argue for a proposed solution, andtradeoffs. In the latter category, participants will practice aligning an engineering activity tomultiple sets of standards, and will explore opportunities to create such connections in their owncurricula.Agenda and Hands-on Activities:       Introduction (10 min) – UTeachEngineering is a program at The University of Texas at       Austin (UT Austin) that aims to create leaders in secondary engineering education.       Design skills are important for future engineers and non-engineers alike, and this belief       has fueled UTeachEngineering to develop Engineer Your World, a scaffolded, research-       based high school course centered on the engineering design process. The contents of       this workshop are based on this course.       The Design of Experiments (15 minutes) [Discussion] – Participants will view a video       introducing the activity. They will then discuss how to design the experiment and explore       challenges with this approach in the classroom.       The Data Analysis (15 minutes) [Hands-on Activity] – Participants will analyze a       provided data set and discuss how students are required to use computational and       mathematical models as evidence to argue for a proposed solution Since multiple correct       solutions exist, participants must consider tradeoffs between efficiency and accuracy.       The Standards Alignment (20 min) [Hands-on Activity] – Participants will work in small       groups, with each group aligning the activity to a different set of standards (e.g., NGSS,       CCSS). Groups will share out results.       Making Connections in Your Curricula (15 min) – Participants will work together to       identify opportunities for making such cross-standards connections in their own curricula.Materials for Participants to Take: Participants will leave the workshop with knowledge ofengineering skills and practices as well as ideas for making cross-standards connections in theirexisting curricula. Additionally, they will leave with information about implementation supportavailable to schools interesting in adopting the Engineer Your World program.Practical Applications: Teachers, administrators and outreach staff can use the engineeringskills in their own work. Teachers and administrators can use the experience to identifyopportunities to bundle standards in their own curricula.2015-ASEE-K12-Proposal-Form_Engineer Your World_Hands-On Standards.docx                  Page 3 of 5                     WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                     Saturday, June 13, 2015                                     8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.                                  Sheraton Seattle | Seattle | WAAuthentic Engineering Connection. Identify and describe how you will explicitly address theways in which your lesson or activity is representative of the processes, habits of mind andpractices used by engineers, or is demonstrative of work in specific engineering fields.i At leastone of those must be within the first four listed, below; i.e., do not only check “other”. Check allthat apply:           Use of an engineering design process that has at least one iteration/improvement        X Attention to specific engineering habits of mind        X Attention to engineering practices (as described in the NGSS/Framework and as           practiced by engineers)           Attention to specific engineering careers or fields related to the lesson/activity            Other (please describe below)Provide a description of how you will explicitly address these aspects of authentic engineering inyour workshop (maximum 2,000 characters):Engineering Habits of Mind and Practices: Participants will engage in design of experiments(how to design an three-factor experiment to gather data to brew the perfect cup of coffee), dataanalysis and interpretation (given a data set, how can one represent and interpret the data), theuse of computational and mathematical models as evidence to argue for a proposed solution (toargue for their own chosen solution to the challenge), and an analysis of tradeoffs (to decidebetween multiple “right” solutions). These are all engineering practices or habits of mind.Diversity. This year is the American Society for Engineering Education’s “Year of Action onDiversity.” It is essential that we have a diverse engineering workforce to solve diverseproblems. To do that and to have an engineering-literate public, it is essential that we reach everypreK-12 student with high-quality engineering education, drawing on issues of access and equityin the classroom and in the curriculum. Reviewers would like to know how your proposedworkshop will address diversity. Provide a description of how you will explicitly addressdiversity – e.g., diversity with respect to gender/sex, ethnicity or race, special educationinclusion, socio-economic status, or LGBT status – in your workshop (maximum 2,000characters):This activity is taught successfully to 3300 students in Engineer Your World classrooms at 77schools. Among these, 28 percent are female, nine percent are Black, and 42 percent areHispanic/Latino(a). The curriculum was designed expressly to engage underrepresented studentsin engineering.Are there any online components to the proposal or presentation? (Note that these onlinecomponents may only be available to presenters or those who have their wireless subscriptions,since wireless may not be available during the workshop sessions.)
