Section 3 outlines specifically how the Parallel Curriculum Model was used to redesignthe Engineering in Your World course. Section 4 reports the results from classes from Fall 2009to Dec 2010 (about 70 elementary education majors) while Section 5 discusses the conclusionsof our work and implications about preparing elementary teachers in engineering.2 Methodology: Curriculum Design and the Parallel Curriculum Model2.1 Why Use a Curriculum Model?A curriculum model is the educator’s design framework. It identifies priority objectives,specifies how they will be measured, and

As an engineer you will have to not only develop, but also master some ofthese (meta) competencies. In this short assignment I am challenging you to:1. Perform a self-evaluation of your technical competencies and meta-competencies.2. What are the competencies (technical and meta) you think you will need to survive

Teachers need to first develop their ownunderstanding of engineering, create linkages between the subject content they teach to developlessons that apply these concepts to solve engineering problems.

this section, we outline the regular MATH 140, PHYS 211 and 212, and EE 210 courses andprovide our readers with an understanding of how the integrated courses differ from the regularones. We highlight some of the inherent challenges encountered when merging these twocourses, considering the specific nature and requirements of each existing course. We alsodescribe the philosophy behind the curriculum design and the way it was implemented. Note thatin each pair of integrated courses, one course – when taught in a regular format – is a pre-requisite of the other one. We’ll refer to those two as “pre-course” and “post-course”respectively.1. MATH 140/PHYS 211In accordance with NSF S-STEM grant master plan, 12 students of the first cohort (S-STEMFIG
