NGSS explains, “This integration is achieved by raising engineeringdesign to the same level as scientific inquiry in classroom instruction when teaching sciencedisciplines at all levels and by giving core ideas of engineering and technology the same status asthose in other major science disciplines” (NGSS, Appendix A).
