With thesegoals in mind, the objective of this study was to examine how a newly developed instructionalmodel, known as Argument Driven Engineering (ADE), is related to changes in middle schoolstudents’ attitudes toward engineering and participation in engineering careers. This study ofengineering attitudes is important both for developing effective curriculum and pedagogy forengineering in science classrooms, and also for addressing nation-wide problems with diverserepresentation and participation in engineering degree programs and occupations.In 2012 the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology issued a reportprojecting

thecharacteristics of the stated goal that the group is focused on meeting. But a key element ofprofessional leadership is the alignment of the upstream values inherent in the goal with those ofthe participants who sit downstream; that is, engineering projects being designed with eventualimpacts in mind. Value is a social and emotional construct and as such has been an arena thatengineers may have seen as outside their remit. It is understandable that individuals who buildexpertise in the rational, objective material world feel unprepared to deal with the subjective,emotional world of value, and indeed this is what Rottmann et al. [10] report in their sample ofworking engineers. Two of the programs include language on the impact of the engineering workon

Scaffolding can be categorized as pre-writing, the first stage of the three stage writing process, which is then followed by writing andrewriting. According to Murray, the prewriting stage can commonly take up to 85% of the totaltime spent on the assignment [4]. In addition to strengthening students’ writing, the emphasis onwriting as process also has positive impacts on content learning [4].

Thecourse instructor redeveloped the course to include further depth into the most critical topics andreduce breadth using the knowledge tables and course outcomes created by the NTCP.Keeping in mind the school’s geographic region and the interest of the students, the totalnumber of topics in the course was reduced by about 25% [23].
