14.328.2Pre-Engineering as an Integrative CurriculumIn Rising Above the Gathering Storm, the National Research Council3 calls for educationalleaders to optimize the knowledge-based resources and energize the STEM career pipeline. Thereport repeatedly emphasizes the importance of science and math achievement as a precursor fortechnical advancement, and relates the poor international showing of US students in math andscience to the declining impact of the US in research, patent issuance and economic andtechnological standing.The primacy of math and science to engineering is a common view that can, in educationalsettings, at least, clash with the objectives of engineering. The Nobel laureate Herbert Simon4observed in the late 1960’s that “Engineering

The survey is designed to measure critical thinking, leadership,communication, and collaboration, and teamwork.Background: The Maker Movement and High School Technology EducationThe ‘maker movement’ is defined by Adweek as the umbrella term for independent inventors,designers, and tinkerers 4, and is viewed by Time magazine as a driver for innovation 5. Thismovement, which started in the 1990’s, embodies a reversion from the theoretical to thepractical, using one’s hands to physically make and build things for the purpose of solving newproblems, solving old problems

If they lack calculus orvector algebra, an introductory course in these subjects could be taken during the first semesterof their senior year while taking GSEN. Topics such as vector algebra and dimensional analysiscan easily be integrated into existing algebra and pre-calculus courses. In many cases thesetopics are already being taught and only lack an engineering applications emphasis. In somecases special primer courses can be developed to address deficiencies in pre-requisite subjects.The instructor(s) for a GSEN type course does not need to possess an engineering background(although preferred).
