In early 2021, the college applied for and was approved to offer acertificate program in UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) Designs, Applications and Operationsto college students by the Education Department of New York State. Later that year, thecollege also received a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to providetuition-free early higher education for high school students, allowing them to complete themajority of the credits in the UAS certificate

The demographics (Table 1) indicates that a greater percentageof PE/ED teachers held a bachelor’s degree in a professional engineering field and were certifiedby their state to teach engineering education. Regardless of the potential safety hazards andresulting risks that are present, whether it be hot glue guns or table saws, research hasdemonstrated that teacher safety training and classroom/laboratory management practices(including safety demonstrations and direct supervision) are paramount to reducing the risk ofaccidents [5]. Readers must remember there will always be potential safety hazards and resultingrisks associated with hands-on P-12 engineering teaching and learning, but data-informed

While initiatives toengage children in engineering learning experiences over the last couple decades have beenencouraging and millions of students participate in formalized P-12 engineering-related courses,there has been uncertainty as to how engineering should be intentionally taught across schools ina coherent manner. To help fill this void, the Framework for P-12 Engineering Learning waspublished in 2020 by the American Society for Engineering Education. This framework ispositioned to offer a unifying vision and guidance for informing state and local decisions toenhance the purposefulness, coherency, and equity of engineering teaching and learning.

Students worked onAutonomous Vehicle for four times (12 hours), Robotics modeling for five labs (15 hours), andeight labs for VEX Robot (24 hours). One of the challenging factors that we encountered wasfaculty involvement. Since the participating faculty already had a full teaching load during theSummer, it was difficult to arrange lab content in a way that was both meaningful and coherent.As a result, the program

The committees believedthis was important due to the essential making and doing aspect of T&E education, the increasedpopularity of interdisciplinary makerspaces and Fab Labs in schools [17], and the rise in out ofcontent area educators being tasked with teaching engineering practices [18-20].
