The workshop will investigate several engineering practices including aspects ofengineering design (defining a problem, developing potential solutions) and the interdependenceof science, engineering and technology. Key habits of mind will also be emphasized through thematerials presented in the example problem. These include asking questions, building models,interpreting data, applying mathematics and designing solutions. The field of Industrial andManagement Systems Engineering (IMSE) and its toolkit will be explored throughout the exercise.This provides an opportunity to introduce this important field to an audience typically not familiarwith the

By working through designchallenges from several popular Engineering Teaching Kits, participants will gain experiencewith the engineering design process, observe how the design challenges incorporate learning ofrelevant scientific and mathematics principles, and learn the concepts and tools that will enablethem to develop and incorporate engineering design challenges into their own curriculum. Theselearning objectives will be addressed through team-based design activities.

Practical application for teachers and outreach staffMany schools engage in community service or service-learning but often miss an enormousopportunity by not connecting service to engineering or STEM topics. Linking communityservice with engineering or STEM can change the conversation about engineering and increaseinterest for students, their parents and the community. Service opportunities are a way tointroduce early engineering into classes from math, science or technology without the cost ofequipping a lab or purchasing expensive equipment. It is also a way to easily engage practicingengineers from the community.This

learning objectives for this activity are:1. Participants will understand that the design process is a step-by-step method used to guide people in developing solutions to problems.2. Participants will understand that engineers and designers create new products or improve existing products and technology to meet human needs and wants.3. The practical application for a teacher or outreach staff is to experience an example of an engaging activity structured so that students intentionally apply a design process.4. Materials that a workshop participant can take are information about the PLTW Launch program. thThe project designed for 9 grade students is entitled Puzzle Design Challenge.

This approach builds on work from Stanford’s D School, IDEO, the EPICSProgram and others practicing authentic design and can be mapped into any design process.Additionally, the Human-Centered Design approach opens opportunities to explore howengineering can make a difference in the lives of others. A “Change the Conversation” approachto engineering. Rather than focusing on technology or some abstract use of a design, the focusbecomes design that makes a difference in someone’s life.

is highly engaging for youngchildren with their love of drawing. This workshop introduces students to some of the technicalaspects of engineering drawings and develops SV skills, which have been shown to help withperformance in STEM.Engineering Habits of Mind: The activities presented in this workshop are representative ofCreativity, Optimism, and Communication. Sketching is an integral part of the brainstormingand creative process. Optimism is increased when students are able to visualize design solutionsand draw how they will look. We all know that “a picture is worth 1000 words,” and thussketching is integral to technical communication.Engineering practices based on NGSS Framework: Engineering, technology and theapplication of science is
