One issue within these courses is they lack an engaging biomedical engineering projectwhich is suitable for all the students. NeuroBytes are relatively easy to use and require little priorknowledge. This technology bridges the gap between technology and biology orneurophysiology in order to show students the basic principles of biomedical engineering. A totalof 15 students and two teachers in a dual credit engineering course, offered by the University ofArizona, participated in this evaluation of NeuroBytes. Teachers first completed a pre- labsurvey and then a post-lab survey to determine if there was a need

EngineeringIntroduction With the publication of the Framework for K-12 Science Education (National ResearchCouncil, 2012) and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), emphasis is now placed onthe integration of engineering principles and practices into K12 science education. Although only18 states and the District of Columbia have formally adopted the NGSS, other states, includingSouth Dakota, Montana, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia have adopted similar standards.Unlike the previous set of national science education standards (NRC, 1996), the Framework forK-12 Science Education (NRC, 2012) places engineering and technology alongside the naturalsciences for two critical reasons: to reflect the importance of understanding the human-builtworld and to

It is also one of the only sites that provides completeunits, as opposed to stand-alone activities, at no cost.A search was conducted within the website to limit the focus of this research, which includedlooking at complete units under “Science and Technology” that cover the Engineering DesignStandards for grades 3-5.

inengineering by producing a legitimate artifact and producing knowledge.DiscussionDominant engineering paradigms often rely on having resources. As indicated by Wachs [48],engineers have been masters of technology driven mostly by economic motives and influencedby corporations and government. Rasquachismo, on the other hand, is a model that has beenappropriated by those who do not have resources and embrace ambiguity, ingenuity, andresourcefulness - rasquachismo is rooted in experience for survival and resistance. Nonetheless,rasquachismo also becomes a vehicle to the world of engineering. Similar to engineering,rasquachismo seeks to (1) generate potential solutions to a problem, (2) accomplish simple tasksthrough complex ingenuity, (3) generate

[4] used a Likert scale instrument tomeasure K-12 teachers’ familiarity with engineering, engineering design, and technology (DET).Most teachers in the study had low familiarity with DET, which was attributed to lack ofknowledge, lack of training, lack of administrative support, and lack of time for learning aboutDET. Subsequent studies using the DET instrument reported similar findings [5], [6]. There is a lack of research literature devoted to the barriers of implementing engineeringat the K-5 level.

From fifth to eighth grade,adolescents’ interest in STEM often declines (Gonzales et al., 2008; Osborne, Simon, &Collins, 2003), and many develop a negative sense of self-efficacy regarding their potentialto succeed in future STEM courses (Chen & Usher, 2013).

For K-12 education in the United States, the use ofthe phrase “STEM education” has repeatedly been used in reference to a more integratedcurricular and pedagogical approach, wherein the STEM disciplines are interconnected with oneanother and contextualized by real-world problems [1] – [3]. This shift from teaching the STEMdisciplines in
