As a part of the program, all fellows design classroom modulesthat integrate their own research, one specific NAE grand challenge, and the rigorous demands ofthe state standards in science. The goal of these modules is to spark curiosity in underprivilegedand minority students so that they pursue engineering related careers and consider the socialimplications of the engineering grand challenges.[4, 5] The modules designed by the NSF GK12fellows and their teacher pairs are first piloted within a

Lessons learnedover six years through several federal, state, and corporate-sponsored programs show that:blending research-based engineering curricula and professional development with scienceinquiry and support for science content learning for teachers has significant impact on teacherlearning and student learning; that elementary teachers, students, and other stakeholders embraceengineering once initial concerns are allayed through professional development and evidence onlearning gains; that awareness of engineering careers and engineering/technology contributionsto society increases; and that addressing the particular needs of various partners

Little research explores the ways inwhich parents and elementary teachers, whose science and math skills are often lacking, mightsubtly (or explicitly) influence children’s interest and achievement in science and math.Research and intervention projects since How Schools Shortchange Girls1 indicate patterns ofprogress in improved instruction and innovative learning opportunities.2 Still, many brightstudents, particularly women and minorities, choose not to pursue engineering careers.3 AsHalpern et al.4 assert the differences in male and female expectations and choices regardingSTEM learning are much more complex than previously assumed.

Conceptual Framework for Engineering Design Experiences in High SchoolAbstractThe infusion of engineering design into high school settings can help develop students’ criticalthinking skills and expose them to engineering careers at an early age. However, since theadvent of engineering design in pre-college milieus, researchers, educators, and curriculumdevelopers alike have been brooding over ways to introduce this equivocal subject into the k-12realm. Due to its interdisciplinary nature engineering design has also struggled to find a home inclassroom settings moving between technology education, to science classrooms and eveninformal learning environments. These factors considered it is our belief that the science
