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):The National Research Council’s Framework [21] and the 2012 Next Generation Science Standards(NGSS) report [22] emphasize the critical role of engineering in enhancing K-12 students learning. Thefocus of the learning model presented here is to respond to this need and provide training for high schoolteacher to integrate engineering practices into their curricula. The proposed workshop addresses thespecific engineering fields selected above. For example, the design and application of wireless sensorsunder uncertain and harsh
