Elementary engineering programs such as Engineering is Elementary aimto reinforce students understanding of mathematics and science via simple engineering designprojects.3 Students can further explore engineering concepts in middle school classes, and studydiscipline-specific content or complete a capstone design project as part of a high school class orcurriculum like those developed by Project Lead The Way4 or the International Technology andEngineering Educators Association.5 Outside of a formal class setting

The hegemonic behaviourist model where thefocus is on examination success, as opposed to the goals of design based technologyeducation has led to the narrowing of subject content to that required in state examinations.The “standards movement”7 fails to acknowledge the broader learning desires of a subject.This influence can be seen in student design project work where an over reliance on a linearmodel of design is evident.

fields. Students were asked to choose their ideal grading ratio for STEM courses by distributing the total percentage of their grade (100%) into the following categories as they choose: Homework, Midterm Exam(s), Final, Class Attendance/Participation, Projects/Lab, and Other. Students were allowed to leave categories as 0% if they did not feel that any of their grade should be determined by that category. After, there were two questions asking students if they felt that grades were a good motivation to learn and if receiving grades hurts their educational process more than it helps it.5. Homework Completion Strategy. The final section of questions was related to each student’s homework completion process. The questions listed

This program was created in order tobetter show educational benefits, quality of learning, and retention and graduation rates. Sincethere are no standardized tests for the Essential Learning Outcomes (ELOs), there was a need todevelop a way to document and assess student learning in undergraduate education.The VALUE project was driven by an advisory board made up of 12 people, national andinternational leaders.

The game has different levels (tutorial, water towerlevel & train bridge level) and progressions, and uses a tower building simulation as an exampleto explain the design process and to assess their understanding of the game. The goals (forexample: achieve a minimum height, do not exceed a maximum cost, and bear a minimum load)of the game are clearly defined at the beginning of each level. After learning the engineeringdesign process through the game, the students work on a hands-on design project applying thedesign process. The effectiveness of the game is examined through a
