Abstract

This Siemens secondary school curriculum (ages 15-18) is a project/problem-based learning curriculum which teaches the fundamentals of engineering design and manufacturing along with the enabling technology. Each project allows student teams to develop distinct solutions to the same problem. The problem presents the student with an opportunity to plan, organize and conduct research. “Enabling Activities” provide students with the required knowledge and skills “just in time” so they may proceed to a viable solution. Students utilize their research in the design, prototyping, testing, evaluation and redesign of a solution. Teachers are trained on the curriculum, pedagogy and technology while receiving continuing education credits.
