The fifth principle is to ensure allscience and mathematics concepts, and technology tools employed are necessary forstudents’ successful completion of the STEM-design projects. With these principles inmind, the next step is to examine classroom enactments of the curriculum, focusing onthe extent to which students apply mathematics and science concepts to their designwork and the challenges and affordances for doing so (Berland, 2013).Effective Instructional Methodologies Contemporary engineering education should emphasize the design process,challenge-based learning, and other engineering habits of mind (Berland, Martin, Ko, etal., 2013).

Yet, even withall of these advances and possibilities, the development and use of this technology is not welldisseminated to the general public, especially young scientists. When most K-12 students areasked to come up with a definition for lab-on-a-chip technologies or microfluidic devices, moststudents think they have something to do with computers and/or smart phones. Moreover, manyof these same students are shocked to learn how these technologies, with mostlybiological/biomedical applications, are developed by engineers and chemists. The success
