minimize barriers to engineering for Native Americanstudents.IntroductionThe National Research Council has released the Next Generation Science Standards for K-12education. For the first time, engineering is represented in K-12 standards. The intent of this shiftis to better prepare young students to pursue pathways in science, engineering, technology, andmathematics. With this change comes the responsibility to design a learning progression ofengineering content that fits within science curricula. Posing a challenge, science curricula aretypically designed from the views of Western modern science. This represents a limitedperspective of science teaching because it adheres to a universalist model and does notincorporate alternative ways of knowing

Much time, money andeffort has been put into documenting the effectiveness of innovative teaching methods andcurriculum and in disseminating these results.

This disparity is important to note, not only because theSTEM disciplines tend to offer higher incomes and a more stable workforce, but also because theUnited States is currently experiencing an increase in jobs in STEM disciplines that is not beingmatched by job-seeking graduates3. These findings are seen across race, meaning that whilethere are many minority students who could greatly benefit from jobs in STEM
