merits of engineeringdesign integration. This paper examines the impact of an NSF funded program (DRL-1102990), the CincinnatiEngineering Enhanced Math and Science (CEEMS) Partnership, designed to assist teachers inintegrating engineering design challenges in traditional math and science courses with requiredacademic standards and high stakes tests that measure student mastery of those standards. Usingevaluation and research results from CEEMS, this paper will detail the advantages, as well as thechallenges, of integrating engineering design into these courses. CEEMS targets middle school and high school (grades 6-12) science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) teachers in 14 regional school districts. Teachers participate inthe grant
andinformal methods to revise curricula that focuses on the professional formation of engineers(Downey, 2014). One area of competence where students might benefit substantially pertains totheir development of what administrators refer to as “professional” skills. This sentiment is alsoendorsed by a variety of corporate stakeholders across the engineering industry. For example,Dianne Chong, vice president of engineering, operations, and technology at the BoeingCompany, expressed that while “most schools are doing an excellent job producing the technicalskills that we need… employers want more than that” (Benderly, 2015). Therefore, our goal is tohelp students develop these additional skills desired by employers.In addition to the work already being

I thought GeotechnicalEngineering course is similar or another level of Geospatial Technology course. However, whenthe semester started we went to the construction site. From that visit the whole idea aboutGeotechnical Engineering changed. It was very interesting in my opinion. Also, meetingexperienced engineers changed all my thoughts about Civil Engineering. They are very preciseand careful in everything. I am being very honest and in my opinion, the site visit was very usefuland changed a lot in my mind”.

FIRST Robotics Competition(FRC) engages students in grades 9-12 to design and build a robot according to thecompetition specifications revealed at kick-off; marking the start of build season whichlasts a little over six weeks. The students then travel to district events where a drive teamof four students operates the robot; competing in numerous matches over a two-dayperiod to earn
students in a Latino communityAbstract Early exposure to engineering and mathematics career opportunities has been indicated toinfluence students’ decisions regarding their academic majors and career goals. This study utilizedmixed methods to analyze how changes in middle school students’ affective characteristics mightbe linked to their future career decision-making after participating in an integrated science,technology, engineering, and mathematics summer camp. As part of the summer camp, rising sixththrough eighth grade students attended a week-long learning experience based on a specificengineering context. Each grade level cohort participated with their same grade peers in a 36-hour,6-day event focused on sparking their interest in
graduate education, online engineering cognition and learning, and engineer- ing communication.Dr. Katy Luchini-Colbry, Michigan State University Katy Luchini-Colbry is the Director for Graduate Initiatives at the College of Engineering at Michigan State University, where she completed degrees in political theory and computer science.
