They need tounderstand that when they practice as engineers, the design knowledge they lack as studentsis readily accessible through networks of people built up over time with collaborativerelationships.3,6The third challenge is the lack of experienced teaching assistants. The emphasis on leadingedge engineering science research in engineering faculties has resulted in weak (if any)practical design knowledge among teaching staff and graduate students who would normallybe teaching assistants. Therefore, it is necessary to find designers residing nearby who havetime and inclination to contribute to educating students for relatively modest pay and also tonegotiate mutually satisfactory employment

First,many K-12 teachers have not studied engineering principles, and therefore do not teach theseprinciples in their classrooms. 2 This means that most K-12 students are not exposed toengineering concepts until they enter undergraduate engineering programs. Outreach projectsinitiated by SLC students, however, can expose students to the field of bioengineering early.Second, the number of minorities graduating with engineering degrees is a small percentage ofthe

That is, they aregenerally positive and explorative towards technology; they are able to operate basictechnologies reasonably well, and they know how to take advantage of the communicationalbenefits from new technologies (such as emails, forums, and instant messaging tools). However,fewer students have extensively used technology to promote cooperative and active learning toits highest capacity.

In our research program, we explore the nature of reflectivedecision-making in elementary school engineering design. We examine students’ collaborativeengineering discourse for evidence of reflective decision-making. In

Some researchers view cooperative and collaborativelearning as having two distinct historical developments and differing philosophicalroots.(23)Despite differences and similarity of the two approaches (collaborative vs. cooperative),the fact remains that the core element of both, is the emphasis on student interactions, as theprimary source of learning, rather than learning as individuals.Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional method where relevant problems areintroduced during the course to provide the context and motivation for the learning thatfollows.(24) PBL, by and large, is self-directed learning that helps develop positive studentattitudes, foster a deeper approach to learning, and helps

Since learning occurs in an environment similar to that in which the students will work, the problem-solving skills they learn will be more easily transferable to that work environment.2. Students no longer learn facts, skills and concepts as separate entities, but instead see how these can be interconnected to solve real problems.3.
