They specifically align with the NGSS practices of identifyingproblems, designing solutions, and engaging in argument from evidence. We refer to thiscollection of practices in this work as students’ engineering design thinking.Over the course of the project, we revised and administered this assessment several times. Thisstudy presents data from the administration of the final version of the assessment before and afterone of the integrated science and engineering curriculum units we developed as part of thisproject.

Class AbstractThis paper describes an effort to enrich the Engineering Economics course by adding readings,class discussion topics and a research paper. The goal is to help students understand the non-quantitative side of engineering economics. In particular, students are exposed to examples ofusing engineering or business techniques to benefit people in need, and to introduce notions ofrisk and the quality movement.IntroductionThe majority of Engineering Economics textbooks cover the numerical basis for estimatingcosts, evaluating and comparing projects based on cash flows and computing taxes. This reflectsthe material needed for the FE exam very directly. The focus is on quantitative analysis based

Although elementary sciencecurriculum (i.e. FOSS, STC, Insights) and elementary engineering curriculum (i.e.Engineering is Elementary, Project Lead the Way) exist, they are typically notintegrated. The STEM disciplines are still taught as independent silos. Elementaryteachers typically have different curriculum materials for each subject, and elementaryengineering curricula is in its infancy. In other words, a ‘STEM Curriculum’ does not yetexist, so teachers are expected to teach separate engineering and science curriculum.This leaves minimal opportunities for integration of science and engineering, much lessfor math and technology
