in the paper Mind the Gaps:Engineering Education and Practice, [12]. Speaking to the “misalignment between engineeringeducation and practice” the author makes clear that a “Technical problem-solving model cannotexplain practice” and that engineers can only change the world “. . . if they also deliver theartefacts represented by their problem solutions and designs.”Engineering education urgently needs to revisit how Science, Engineering and Technology areordered and especially how practicing engineers are essential to R&D programs. Practitionersare empowered with an acute awareness of what is commercially practical as to materials,manufacturing processes, and how to employ what is available to be able to create what wasunavailable

Can engineeringdesign be similarly deconstructed? Perhaps. While the designer may have in mind a singlepurpose, that purpose is communicated only obliquely to the user through the design itself. Anadmirable design fits form to function so that the design itself implies the use. But thiscommunication is never perfect. The user interprets the design, sometimes using it in ways thedesigner intended, sometimes in ways the designer never

post 60’s educational world, it is in vogue to pass over the fundamentals andlaunch students at a very early age into the holistic writing process. The idea is the fundamentalsof how to write a sentence will be absorbed by little insights and little on-demand discussionswith teachers about nouns and verbs and at some point in time the light will go on and everythingwill come together,” Henderson explains. “Well, sadly that rarely happens. It is particularlybothersome to the engineering mind, because the engineering mind knows that process just isn’tgoing to work. At the very get go. So the engineering mind is desperately wanting somebody tosit down and share the fundamentals first. The other thing the engineering mind craves iswhenever

The methodologyused in the teaching of science focuses on a hands-on/minds-on approach. Teachers must havethe content background to help their students develop meaning from their experiences. In orderto do this at the elementary level teachers must get past their own fears about their lack of abilityand/or knowledge in the areas of math and science.
