graduate science content courses are being piloted for this program. Thesecourses were based on the AAAS’ Benchmarks for Science Literacy Clusters in the PhysicalSetting, the Designed World, and the Nature of Technology. Each of the five courses isintroduced through the perspective of a contemporary issue in which science and engineeringplay a paramount role, such as energy consumption and climate change. Scientific inquiry andthe engineering design process are embedded within each course as vehicles to promote 21stcentury skills, particularly critical thinking, problem-solving, innovation and creativity. Forinstance, as part of the Energy Production and Consumption Course, teachers created a plan forimproving the energy efficiency of their homes
