crosscuttingconcepts. They realize that the materials they are using for their prototype may not make sense forthe design context, and in realizing this, uproot a rather profound idea: technology is not constantwith respect to time. Rather, technologies evolve to meet societal needs, and societal needs mayspawn technological innovation (Crosscutting Concept 3-5-ETS1-1). The engineers of colonialtimes were confronted with unique and complicated obstacles: to meet the societal need for cleanwater, they could not use paper towel tubes, tape, or tinfoil, but had to procure or develop a filterusing the tools and materials that were available. For the boys, the emerging complexity of thetask prompts further investigation of the problem context, such as the

engineering. A brief summary of the program objectivesand associated activities is outlined as follows. Additional program details can be foundelsewhere 31. Objective 1 activities: Teachers are paired and then matched with an engineering faculty mentor. The mentor assists the teachers in understanding the current status of emerging technologies and engineering research, and provides informal instruction in research methodology and science theory appropriate to the teacher’s research experience. Objective 2 activities: During the four-week summer program, each teacher prepares hands-on engineering-related instructional materials to integrate into their classroom curriculum. Support is provided by
, and mathematics are critical skills for our modern world. Inorder to understand this world, it is vital to foster engineering and technological literacy amongall people, starting with young children. Technology and engineering are new fields at theelementary school level; however, this is where such education needs to start. Just as it isimportant to begin science instruction in the primary grades by building on children’s curiosityabout the natural world, it is crucial to begin technology and engineering instruction inelementary school by fostering children’s natural inclination to design and build things, and totake things apart to see how they work.1 It is during primary school that students establish firstimpressions of possible career

Data was gathered from multiple interventions including reflectionsfrom the summer course, classroom observations while the teachers were teaching in the K-12classroom, teacher interviews, and student interviews. Teacher reflections from the summercourse were studied to identify key understandings and

The teachers initially focused on team and process-oriented features (e.g., teamwork, organization, steps of design process) and how well the finalsolution worked. The teachers tended to focus less on knowledge-oriented features relating to theapplication of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) principles as theydeveloped their rubrics. As the teachers applied their newly developed rubrics to their students’final projects, they focused on surface features of teamwork and process and struggled to identifythe specific technical accomplishments of the teams’ work.
