The children may have felt compelled to give answers that they thought theauthor wanted to hear during the interviews and the sessions themselves.Because this was a one-time limited experience of three children during extraordinary times, theresults may not be broadly applicable. The research questions should be further addressed withstudies on a larger number of children and in different settings.References[1] L.

With thesegoals in mind, the objective of this study was to examine how a newly developed instructionalmodel, known as Argument Driven Engineering (ADE), is related to changes in middle schoolstudents’ attitudes toward engineering and participation in engineering careers. This study ofengineering attitudes is important both for developing effective curriculum and pedagogy forengineering in science classrooms, and also for addressing nation-wide problems with diverserepresentation and participation in engineering degree programs and occupations.In 2012 the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology issued a reportprojecting

Accordingly, the researchquestion guiding this study was: What engineering-related practices, scientific ormathematical content, and engineering habits of mind did high school youth engage inwhile at work? By identifying engineering-related practices, bodies of knowledge, and habits ofmind derived from youth’s workplaces, the purpose of this study was to lay the groundwork forthe development of educational programming which can leverage youth’s workplace-derivedskills and bodies of knowledge toward future engineering careers.

One focused on the challengeof conserving, filtering, and reusing water in extreme environments, and the other challengedstudents to learn about and design multiple remote sensing technologies, and then to use thosetechnologies to explore a model “mystery moon.” Each unit consists of eight one-hour,sequenced activities. Throughout each unit, youth are introduced to engineering practices andhabits of mind through an Engineering Design Process (EDP), which they use as a guide whileworking in small groups to design a solution to an engineering challenge. The EDP begins withidentifying a problem that needs to be solved and investigating what has already been done.Next, engineers imagine different

a product by the end of the lesson. Students will need to  be able to determine a community need in addition to designing and creating a smaller-scale example of their solution. They will need to  keep in mind ​who t​ hey are designing for; it is not for themselves! Once complete, students will present their projects in an engineering  exhibit, and evaluate each other’s solutions. Looking for more inspiration?​ You can prompt your students to design something more specific. For example: Have your students design a shelter for victims of natural disasters or political conflict. Have your students design a library for small villages without access to this resource. The possibilities are endless! Project Checklist: What are you trying

It is therefore crucial thatengineering students remain involved in the program to serve as role models and team memberswho are comfortable with the content knowledge applied in the activities. However, it is believedthat Access Engineering also could benefit greatly from leadership by those with experience inchildcare and education. With these considerations in mind, pre-service teachers were employedas leadership team coordinators (i.e., activity leaders), and engineering students were retained asleadership team (i.e., activity assistants).Novel Opportunities for Pre-Service Teachers In addition to helping

However, this presents significant challenges to K-12 educators, most of whom havelimited experience with doing authentic science or engineering and many of whom are notcomfortable with teaching units without normative answers [2].
