andabilities may have increased importance. We conducted a study using cognitive interviews andclassroom data to compare student responses and performance in scaffolded and unscaffoldedversions of two tasks that integrate engineering practices with science. The two versions eliciteddifferent types of information about students’ abilities that may inform assessment design anddevelopment. We also found significant differences between overall performance on the twoversions and between the two settings in which the instrument was administered.Background Aspects of technology and engineering have appeared in some K-12 science classroomsand, to a limited extent, in prior national science standards, but the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS

Another study examined, how youngchildren drew cubes, finding that it was not until 7 years and older that children drew a realisticimage of the 3-D shape; prior to this, children drew flat squares (starting age 3) or attempted todraw other sides of the cube albeit in a visually unrealistic way (starting age 4) [24]. While there are many studies on drawing by young children in general, there are fewerstudies regarding drawn plans within engineering or technological design. We share those herethat were accessible with the caveat that these are older studies, the newest being 18 years old.

The program focusses on minority, female, and underrepresented groups of middleand/or high school students and aims to fulfill the following objectives:- Increase awareness, among minority; female; and underrepresented high school students (grades 9 through 12), of the wide range of transportation modes and potential career opportunities in transportation-related fields;- Teach high school students Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) skills through interactive and fun activities and ultimately improve their STEM skills; and,- Strengthen the links between the transportation sector and public/private

Case Study of Elementary Students’ Conceptions of Engineering Across STEM and Non- STEM SchoolsIntroductionWith the inclusion of engineering practices in A Framework for K-12 Science Education [1] andengineering standards in the Next Generation Science Standards [2], engineering instruction isgrowing increasingly common in elementary classrooms in the U.S. One approach to increasingengineering instruction is through schools with an explicit focus on science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and national policy documents in the U.S. have calledfor the development of such schools [3]. However, a clear vision for what K-12 engineeringeducation should include and how it should be implemented is

American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Teacher Engineering Talk about Problem Scoping in a Middle School Engineering Design-Based STEM Integration Unit (Fundamental)Introduction There is growing interest in considering the integration of science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Many researchers agree that curriculum integrationprovides opportunities for students to learn a variety of discipline areas in real-world situations[1]–[3]. Engineering has a vital role to integrate STEM components effectively becauseengineering provides many opportunities for students including a real-world context for learningmathematics and science, and engineering design task for improving high-level
. Most scholars agree that teaching methods that incorporate practical experimentsencourage girls to be more creative with their hands and help them to better connect with thephysical sciences regardless of classroom composition [34]. Mixed-gender classroom studiesdemonstrate that boys tend to assume the more active roles, a role behaviour that is observed asearly as kindergarten [9]. When girls are left to take on the passive role of note-taker, however,they disengage from the lessons and lose both confidence and interest in STEM (science,technology, engineering and math) [35]. In the research activity, students worked in self-selectedsmall groups with varying compositions. In other words, this study may isolate the confoundingimpact of

interest in increased technological and engineering literacy for all children; concernfor increasing enrollment in engineering programs at universities [1]; an interest in increasingdiversity within engineering; and a concern for social justice and equitable access to participationengineering. Numerous nationwide reports commissioned by the federal government have calledfor increased development in student enrollment in STEM fields to improve competitiveness ona global scale [2]. As groups are concerned with increasing the number of students pursuingengineering degrees and the diversity of the students pursuing engineering, researchers haverecognized that this hinges on efforts that increase students’ STEM knowledge and awareness ofSTEM fields [3
