Engineering Provides an Ideal Setting to Emphasize Design and Integrate STEMConceptsThe implementation of engineering and technology into schooling has a long history startingwith the formation of the American Industrial Arts in 1939, which later evolved into theInternational Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA [5]). Although theITEEA has been developing engineering and technology curricula since the 1960s, the formalstandards for technological literacy were launched only in 2000. Since then the K-12 curriculumhas been based on these standards, plus the national standards for math and science, CommonCore, and NAE’s grand challenges for engineering [6]. We
