WORKSHOP INFORMATIONProposed Title:Rehash Your Trash: An EngrTEAMS STEM Integration Recycling Curricular ModuleAbstract: 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, andotherK-12 Workshop promotional activities.EngrTEAMS is a curricular project that strives to increase student learning of science andmathematics (data analysis and measurement), by using an engineering design-based approachfor integrated STEM instruction. One example module is entitled “Rehash Your Trash,” usingthe context of waste management and recycling to engage students in learning math and scienceconcepts. An engineering design challenge is presented to students asking them to design anautomated sorting process for a recycling company.

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 staff        EngrTEAMS is a NSF Mathematics and Science Partnership involving partners fromhigher education and K-12 schools. The overarching goal of EngrTEAMS is to increase learningof science and mathematics (data analysis and measurement), by using an engineering design-based approach to professional development and curricular design. This workshop will provideteachers with the opportunity to experience a model of STEM integration that an engineeringdesign challenge to facilitate an integrated approach that emphasizes the connections betweendisciplines. The focus on engineering design and engineering thinking allows for a context inwhich students can explore the interdisciplinary nature of learning science and mathematicsthrough engineering and within a real-world context. Through this workshop, we anticipate thatteachers will gain a better understanding of STEM integration and making meaningfulconnections between STEM fields while setting the learning in a real-world context. Teacherswill also learn about implementation strategies and some of the frameworks we used to help ourteachers develop these curricular modules.         In this workshop, we will present a unit on recycling called Rehash Your Trash. In thisunit, students are faced with an engineering design challenge in which they must develop anautomated sorting process for a recycling company that is transitioning from manual sort tosingle-stream, automated sorting. To develop the tools necessary for this challenge, studentsmust learn about intrinsic and extrinsic physical properties as well as chemical properties.Specifically, students learn how density can be used to separate different types of materials, andwhile investigating this concept, students collect and analyze real data and apply their knowledgeof proportional relationships. During this hands-on experiential session, participants will havethe opportunity to experience a model of STEM integration that uses the context of engineeringto facilitate an integrated approach that emphasizes the connections between disciplines.        This hands-on session will highlight the middle school unit described above andparticipants will be engaged in the progression of activities with a focus on the meaningfulintegration of the science, math, and engineering lessons. Throughout the session there will be anongoing discussion of the focus on engineering that allows for a context in which students canexplore the interdisciplinary nature of learning science and mathematics through engineering andwithin a real-world context. Participants will also learn about implementation strategies, and be2015-ASEE-K12Workshop-Proposal-RehashYour Trash                                           Page 3 of 7                    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.

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           Attention to specific engineering habits of mind           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):        It is important that students’ exposure to engineering begins early and with that exposurestudents should be learning about engineers and engineering. This lessons provides students withopportunities to think and act in ways that are similar to engineers by involving them in anengineering design challenge. The engineering habits of mind listed below help to achieve thegoal of teaching students about engineering thinking skills and the NGSS standards areintegrated throughout the curriculum module that is being presented.        Creativity is explicitly addressed throughout the module as students are asked tobrainstorm their own ideas and then come together to share ideas to come up with as many ideasas possible. In this workshop session, teachers will talk about how this module, and engineering,can be used as a space to facilitate students’ creativity in the middle school classroom. Systemsthinking is at the heart of this unit’s design, here students (and in this case, their teachers) will bedesigning a systematic process of how to recycle, rather than a physical product. Students willdevelop skills in considering the interactive relationships between the various aspects of asystem; as well as, the implications of modifications to the system.        Collaboration is another important part of this module and teachers will be presented withhow cooperative learning components have been built into this unit to provide a structure thathighlights the idea that Engineering is a “team sport.” These skills and the structure used in thiscurriculum to foster collaboration will be explicitly discussed as participants are workingtogether throughout the engineering design challenge. Communication in engineering will bepresented in a developmentally appropriate manner through the importance of helping studentslearn to share and listen to ideas in a respectful way. Furthermore, the development ofcommunication skills is essential to effective collaboration and group planning.2015-ASEE-K12Workshop-Proposal-RehashYour Trash                                               Page 5 of 7                     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.

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 address diversity – e.g., diversity with respect togender/sex, ethnicity or race, special education inclusion, socio-economic status, or LGBT status– in your workshop (maximum 2,000 characters):        This workshop provides a context for diverse students by using a relevant topic,recycling, as the focus of the engineering design challenge. Waste management and recyclinghas implications for all humans and awareness of the consequences of mismanagement isbeneficial for students to learn at a young age. Additionally, students have the opportunity tocontribute their unique perspective in developing a solution for a universal problem.Are there any online components to the proposal or presentation?
