Engineering Endorsement Responsibility Matrix. The Delphiparticipants reviewed the taxonometric structure and identified and prioritized the core conceptsand sub concepts for each content area to serve as the foundation for the knowledge dimension ofengineering literacy. Participants were organized into four focus groups, one for each Fundamental ContentArea: Quantitative Analysis, Engineering Design, Ethics and Society, and Materials Processingand then each Technical Content Area: Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Civil. Each focusgroup was comprised of at least one high school teacher and one engineer or engineeringeducator. Participants were asked to revise the core and sub concepts for each content area as agroup based on the following

In TimeTilter, fourteen-year-old Singer joins a band of displaced teens in a futuristic gaming site created by the mysterious company Collusia. Trapped in the TimeTilter, Singer and her team become the unwilling subjects of Collusia’s dangerous research on the limits of human perception. Under the influence of a new and proprietary chemical called the superzeitgeber, the team loses all sense of time—while other senses become mysteriously enhanced. In order to escape

BCe2, in collaboration with the city’s parksdepartment, then transports these trees to various locations throughout the community. BCA’sgoals for this activity was to educate the students on the necessity of trees, learn how native treenurseries operate, and discover essential best practices for tree conservation.

These habitsdirectly support the approach that the campers exhibit for each of our engineering activities. Atthe end of each day, we identify campers from each team that best demonstrates each of thehabits to provide them with positive reinforcement, as well

Academy of Engineering and National ResearchCouncil Center for Education emphasized the teaching of the engineering design process (EDP)as a pedagogical strategy to teach science, mathematics and technology in a meaningful context.According to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), EDP is definedas “the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs, specifications,codes, and standards within constraints such as health and safety, cost, ethics, policy,sustainability, constructability, and manufacturability. It is an iterative, creative, decision‐makingprocess in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied toconvert resources optimally into solutions” [2]. EDP

community engagement. Moreover, the curriculum incorporateshuman-centered design and key engineering processes to foster engineering habits of mind suchas systems thinking, optimism, and ethical consideration in engineering as well asentrepreneurial mindsets such as the three C’s (creativity, collaboration, communication).Throughout EPICS High, students continually explore potential problems in the community thatcan be solved by the skills they are learning in the classroom. Ultimately, students learn to workwith members of the community to create engineering solutions that are designed to address real-world problems. Preliminary research shows that EPICS High promotes positive outcomesamong high school students9,10. In a small study on an

Although these are all essential factors for a holisticengineering education, for this study, we focus on one aspect, problem and background, toanalyze how the teacher uses problem scoping engineering talk. Problem scoping and understanding the problem is a major task for engineering designersbecause engineers are “rarely… given a specific, well-defined problem to solve” [8, pp. 12].

, causeslearners to appreciate the contribution of engineering in our culture, assists learners inrecognizing the ethical and moral values that engineers need to demonstrate, and aids in theteaching and learning of engineering instruction. However, NOE teaching is not an easy task,and a lack of NOE understanding also raises many issues and obstacles for science teachers toincorporate NOE in science instruction. Science teachers need training to fulfill the requirementsdescribed in the NGSS and to inform teachers about NOE aspects. To meet this goal, weprovided a professional development that focuses on NOE and the engineering design processduring summer 2017 in a southwestern research institute.
