Engineers apply this knowledge in the world through a number of jobs and many fix, design, build, and imagine innovative and helpful technologies.” Atypical Response “Create and look at the world with a different view.”Question 2: Why did you choose engineering? Typical Responses “I love math and science, particularly physics. I thought engineering would best fit my personal interests in these areas.” “Many of my uncles are engineers.

NGSS explains, “This integration is achieved by raising engineeringdesign to the same level as scientific inquiry in classroom instruction when teaching sciencedisciplines at all levels and by giving core ideas of engineering and technology the same status asthose in other major science disciplines” (NGSS, Appendix A). The following analysis examines how it addresses issues of equity and access in theimplementation of these “science and engineering practices.” To do this, the authors: 1.

As technology progresses, the use of a hardbound book for this recording of thoughts and reporting technical information has been extended to electronic formats. This paper details a comparison between engineer’s notebooks recorded on paper using bound notebooks and those done
