solutions. Models of the engineering design process serve as aframework for practicing engineers (adults) to scaffold the process. In the United States,K-12 engineering education is a growing movement that stems from workforce needs aswell as the demand for a technologically literate population. As policy makers,curriculum developers, and educators seek to include engineering in K-12, the questionsof how to transpose the engineering design process for students (children) and how tostructure appropriate supporting classroom activities and instruction for engagingstudents in engineering design problems arise.The study described in this paper begins to tackle the question of how to include engineeringdesign in K-12 education by exploring how first

This paper describes the planning and actions thus far to meet these new requirementsat the university and specifically in our engineering programs. We have begun to expandoutcome assessment to include five “intellectual and practical skills,” specifically, critical andcreative thinking, inquiry/analysis, problem-solving, and information literacy. VALUE rubricsare being used as part of the process to ascertain where the best opportunities are to measurestudent achievement within the engineering and technology programs.
