As a result, technical communication in the electronic setting may bea critical skill for engineering students seeking employment.One way for students to gain and practice documentation and technical communication skills ina practical setting is through the experiential courses throughout the curriculum (i.e. laboratorycourses).

Accordingly, a growing number of organizations offer K-5 curriculum materials thatinclude engineering design challenges, such as Engineering is Elementary (EiE), PictureSTEM,FOSS Next Generation Edition, LEGOEngineering, TeachEngineering, PBS Design Squad, andmore. After elementary educators make curricular choices from the range of options, their nextdecisions are often about scaffolds, technological tools, classroom norms, differentiationstrategies, and other instructional supports.

ItIntroductionThe world’s increasingly global economy has created a steadily growing market for engineerswho can work in a globalized environment (Jesiek & Beddoes, 2010). The need for suchengineers has increased even more rapidly in developing nations where population growthoutpaces technological solutions. To be competitive both at home and abroad, Americanengineers must learn how to interact productively with people from a range of cultures andcustoms (Ball, Zaugg, Davies, Tateishi, Parkingson, Gensen, & Magleby, 2012). Americaneducation must produce global engineers.Unfortunately, there is no standard definition of global engineer. A recent literature reviewreveals the extensive debate about this term. (See Jesiek, Zhu, Woo, Hompson, &
