As engineering is not yet a part of most states’ elementary school standards, teachers will not be motivated to teach engineering in the classroom unless it reinforces skills in science, English language arts or mathematics. The EiE curriculum is designed to integrate engineering and technology concepts and skills with elementary science topics in grades 1-5.1 The EiE curriculum consists of 20 engineering units; each

tostudents is through the use of a traditional lecture style class. However, in such a setting, keepinga large class engaged in the material can present quite a challenge. This challenge can be partlymet through the use of technology, student response devices, and/or carefully crafted lectures.Even so, some students will remain unengaged due to other factors like physical/mentalexhaustion or the many distractions a large room full of over 300 students can present. Thisbecomes an even larger challenge in the case of a first-year introductory engineering course dueto the varied backgrounds of the students; some of whom have completed high-schoolengineering programs and might have experienced similar subject matter previously.
