. Page 25.884.2 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Learning Sciences Guided High School Engineering Curriculum DevelopmentEngineering education is increasingly appearing in high school courses—as either astand-alone course or a component of a science course. In either context, engineeringmodules are tasked with multiple goals. In particular, as synthesized in the NationalResearch Council’s13 review of K-12 engineering education, it is expected thatengineering education will: 1.) focus on design and problem solving; 2.) incorporateappropriate STEM concepts and 3.) “promote engineering habits of mind.” High schoolengineering curriculum invariably addresses these goals

There were many factors that neededto be adjusted in the commissioning process. At first, the steam valve and the water sprayerwere operated manually. After basic functioning was confirmed, the engine was automatedthrough the use of solenoid valves for steam and water spray and a computer-based controlsystem.

) instructors should keep in mind that learning newconcepts builds on previously learned concepts when developing a course1. EngineeringEducators strive to create environments that promote learning on a deep level in engineeringclassrooms. Many papers have been written by engineering educators with the conceptsidentified by the National Research Council as their underlying themes2, 3, 4. EngineeringEducators understand the need for students to transfer their knowledge of a concept from oneclass to another. Many of the courses in an engineering curriculum build on one another. If astudent does not have a deep understanding at the beginning, it will be hard for them to succeed

Instructors would circulate and ask probing questions ofthe students, however those questions were based on the individual instructor’s background andinterests.Based on informal instructor and student feedback, a number of issues with the activity wereidentified, and formed the basis of the gamification initiative. Foremost among these issues wasstudent focus. Because there was neither formal structure nor scaffolding, student attentionvaried depending largely on their intrinsic interest in deconstruction and gaining understanding.While intrinsic motivation was adequate for a majority

Identifying and Leveraging a DfXIdentifying and leveraging a DfX has three possible benefits. First, identifying a DfX that bestserves a given sector and corporation can be invaluable to an engineering designer or designfirm. The appropriate application of said DfX can provide a competitive edge to the firm whileproviding benefits to both the consumer and society[2]. Kimberly-Clark (K-C) is one firm that hasbenefitted from implementing DfE.
