curriculum materials to create a learning environment where all students canfully participate in engineering design? What kinds of classroom norms do we need to establishfor productive engineering work to take place? These questions may be especially important inschools where students do not frequently have opportunities to engage with their peers in thekind of collaborative decision-making required by engineering design. To begin to answer these important questions, we are conducting a multi-year design-basedresearch project investigating engineering language and literacy demands, resources, andsupports in economically disadvantaged urban U.S. elementary classrooms using the EiEcurriculum.

Inthe past two summers, 41 students have participated in the program. This paper provides detailson the design and evaluation of the ASPIRE program.IntroductionThe STEM “pipeline” that is imagined to guide Science Technology Engineering and Math(STEM) students from middle school into successful STEM careers has sprung leaks atessentially every junction. In its most common configuration, it implies a single path that oftenrequires students to develop an interest in STEM by middle school, choose particular math andscience courses in middle- and high-school, and gain experience and

approach to teaching engineering inother commonly taught K-12 disciplines [18-20]. Another common argument is that engineeringskills should now be considered for all students, much as reading, writing and mathematics [21,22], and this is sometimes positioned as an early recruitment tool, with the idea that studentsmust be recruited prior to losing interest in STEM.Figure 1. A synthesis of common high level motivations for, desired outcomes of, barriers to,strategies for, and measures of K-12 engineering education.This paper synthesizes literature on formal and informal engineering education in K-12 settings.Specifically, we focus on outcomes related to (1) developing interest and/or identities inengineering, including in (2) engineering careers

This approach produced a contagious excitement and ownership because manystudents in sections following earlier introductory sections knew what to expect; their peers fromearlier sections had shared the idea outside of class. Furthermore, hands-on interactionsembedded in PBL4 allowed students to “do something” to “learn about something,” instead ofthe usual classroom teaching with singular focus on “learn about something.” At the start of theMUAV lesson, students drew names out of a hat to choose between four possible roles: pilotingthe MUAV, timing MUAV flight to measure its ground speed over a set number of parkingspaces located behind the
