Her research interests include first-year engineering and graduate student professional development.Dr. Alexander T. Dale, Engineers for a Sustainable World Alexander Dale is a AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow hosted at the US EPA, and Board Mem- ber at Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW). His career has included time in academia, nonprofits, and federal policy, focusing on energy, water
research, and the Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)industries [Guerrero 2016; Machina 2013; Pence 2016]. ABET has indicated that preparingengineering students in technical communications is one of the essential skills needed to enterthese fields [ABET 2016]. As a result, technical communication in the electronic setting may bea critical skill for engineering students seeking employment.One way for students to gain and practice documentation and technical communication skills ina practical setting is through the experiential courses throughout the curriculum (i.e. laboratorycourses). In autumn 2016, we transitioned the biomedical engineering laboratory course,biomechanics, from paper-based to electronic-based laboratory
experiences (NAE andNRC, 2014). These schools are responding to the public’s demands for STEM and STEAMeducation and to the inclusion of engineering in the Next Generation Science Standards (NRC,2013). Accordingly, a growing number of organizations offer K-5 curriculum materials thatinclude engineering design challenges, such as Engineering is Elementary (EiE), PictureSTEM,FOSS Next Generation Edition, LEGOEngineering, TeachEngineering, PBS Design Squad, andmore. After elementary educators make curricular choices from the range of options, their nextdecisions are often about scaffolds, technological tools, classroom norms, differentiationstrategies, and other instructional supports. They might ask: what instructional supports can weadd to engineering
