thelevel they were comfortable with—beginning by expressing their ideas in gesture ordemonstration and then adding spoken or written language as they learned or needed it. The experiences of investigating, planning, building, testing, and refining bring learning beyond linguistic barriers. There are many points of entry in a unit of study. The learning in a unit involving engineering moves beyond simple labeling and completing sentence frames. It is dynamic learning and often can be used to reach a student at their exact language acquisition level. The EL teacher and I loved doing EiE together because it was a chance for students to use academic language in authentic situations. The parts of the lesson where materials are tested

researchquestion: How and to what extent do upper-elementary teachers verbally support students’engagement with engineering practices across diverse classroom contexts in an NGSS-alignedintegrated science unit? Classroom audio data was collected daily and coded to analyze supportthrough different purposes of teacher talk. Results reveal the purpose of teachers’ talk oftenvaried between the class sections depending on the instructional activity and indicate thatteachers utilized a variety of supports toward students’ engagement in different engineeringpractices. In one class, with a large percentage of students with individualized educational plans,teachers provided more epistemic talk about the engineering practices to contextualize theparticular

Teachers discussed specific experiences related to identifying andunderstanding consumer needs and creating and marketing a product to satisfy theseneeds. As a result of participating in IC, students gained a variety of technical andbusiness-related skills they likely would not have gained elsewhere, including how tobuild a website, how to build an app, how to write a business plan, how to make a movie,how to talk in front of people, how to pitch something, how to convince people to buysomething.

In keeping with the Next Generation Science Standards, which emphasize “planningand carrying out fair tests in which variables are controlled and failure points are considered,” (3-5 ETS1-3) [27], the elementary students could create a testing plan (a genre). Using think-aloudsand discussion prompts, the teacher could model for students how to evaluate that genre usingthe discipline-specific evaluative frameworks generated from this study. For example, theelementary students might consider statements such as, “I believe the results from this test wouldbe repeatable (or not) when the candy bomber dropped the parachutes because…” “I believe

However,School B students were more than twice as likely as School A students to declare a positiveimpact on their predisposition when asked about the impact Discovery had on STEM pursuits(Figure 3B). It is important to note this may simply be indicative of students already perceivingfurther STEM courses in their future regardless of Discovery participation (i.e., selection of “NoImpact”), reflected in consistent indication of plans to take fewer courses after participating inDiscovery.

However, neither of these goals resemble the workof engineers [13]. Builds like this would be wasteful in terms of resources, so many civilengineering firms employ engineers specifically to minimize material, time, and cost while stilladhering to the specifications of the structure. The goal for students in this activity was to minimize cost, weight, and deflection of atruss cantilever

The demographic shifts reported in the survey [36] noted a 10 percentfemale faculty count, “ten times the percentage reported two decades ago” and “one third oftechnology education students enrolled are female, about fifteen times the percentage of the early1960s.” Minority ethnic enrollment, approximately one fourth of those in technology education,similarly showed growth, up 18% reported since 1979 and students with special needs numberedapproximately 23% of

levels to include for each item. Afterseveral discussions about the feasibility of creating discrete, measurable levels that could beobserved without additional classroom materials (e.g., lesson plans, student work, interviewswith teachers), we decided on five levels with a 0-4 scale, similar to the RTOP [18]. Items wereassigned to small teams to continue refining the wording of each item and its observable levels.Part of this process included a critical examination of the items, which sometimes resulted inremoving an item completely or recognizing that we could further collapse items. This continuedwork occasionally included the splitting of a single item into two items, as some ideas were “toobig” or unwieldy to address in a single item. In

As seen previously, the use of robotics was able to capture the attention of these studentsand enabled them to learn in a cooperative environment. Moreover, assessments suggested thatstudents with Down syndrome exhibited improvements in cognitive functions such as visuo-spatial working memory and mental planning after completing a robotics challenge [18].

Their responses were found to be generally simplistic, forexample, engineers were commonly depicted as workers who constructed buildings or repairedcar engines, though older participants more frequently mentioned engineering design tasks. Themost common stereotypical actions youth perceive engineers to do are to design, plan, and orperform physical labor. Common images included tools, cars and computers.
