How does previous professionaldevelopment and engineering teaching experience affect teachers’ knowledge of the engineeringdesign process?Fifty-nine in-service elementary teachers from second, third, and fourth grade classrooms in anurban school district attended a week-long workshop on how to incorporate engineering,technology, and design into their classrooms. Twenty-three of these teachers had attended asimilar workshop the summer before (Cohort 1), and they also taught at least one unit and up tofour units of the “Engineering is Elementary” curriculum during the school year.

WISEngineering is a free, open-source environment that supports STEM learning by guiding students through informedengineering design projects1. WISEngineering includes learning modules that involve extensivehands-on engineering for real-world problems and integrate computer-aided design (CAD) anddigital fabrication technologies. Here we

CurriculumAbstractAs the United States tries to remain technologically competitive with other nations the demandfor engineering professionals is expected to increase. Since the early 1990‘s, many K-12engineering outreach programs have been incorporated into middle schools either through hightech electives or in tandem with the State prescribed math and science curriculum with the intentof fostering student interest in science and engineering. In spite of both approaches the ratio ofscience and engineering degrees awarded annually to the college aged population in the U.S. isless than in other countries. Furthermore, the number of underrepresented minorities earningthose degrees is 12% according to the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering
