and evaluation. DBR parallels principles of design as we teach them in our technologyand engineering classes: “Design has its own distinct ‘things to know, ways of knowing them,and ways of finding out about them’” so it investigates “the man-made world” through“modelling, pattern-formation, [and] synthesis” toward values of “practicality, ingenuity,empathy, and a concern for ‘appropriateness’” (p. 221-222)11. DBR leverages the complexity ofeducational environments; opportunities for iteration in different contexts (to see what works,when); and product-based nature of curriculum design. We have partnered with EngineeringbyDesign (EbD), a K12 engineering curriculum provider, and seven high-school teachers in ruraland suburban Mid-Atlantic
