Engineering Program, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 2 School of Materials Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907Introduction Historically, a significant portion of elementary and middle school educators’ pre-serviceeducation has been dedicated to developing students’ reading and writing skills, with some focuson mathematics and only basic coursework for teaching fundamental sciences. In recent years,many education programs have placed a heavier emphasis on math and science, and some nowoffer specializations within the bachelor’s program for teaching these subjects. However,coursework related to engineering and technology remains limited. With the introduction of the Next Generation Science

In addition, the teamconsidered a secondary question: How can the educational process instill a more entrepreneurialattitude in our undergraduate students?The result of these efforts was the submission and approval of a proposal to the CCLI Program,Division of Undergraduate Education of NSF to adapt, test and adopt a strategy that puts togetherfaculty, students, administrators and staff in implementing a certificate program jointly offeredby the Colleges of Engineering and Business. This endeavor stimulates technology

There are many opportunities for technology, properly used, to support this new mode ofproduct development, but the structural and cultural changes in the organization can not be fully resolved bytechnology alone.Teaching Integrated Product Development Just as manufacturing organizations are realizing the need to change the way they develop new products,so must engineering and management education break free from existing ways of preparing students. Thetraditional educational experience offers students bits and pieces of specialized material, but little

Going forward, the development of the CNC machine changed the capabilities ofmanufacturing by allowing for precise control, which provided increased reliability andaccuracy, as well as product repeatability.More recently, the Standards for Technology Literacy adopted by the International TechnologyEducation Association2 have stated that hands-on learning opportunities should be incorporatedinto the engineering curriculum. Emphasizing this is a rich body of literature based on multipleeducational movements that has shown hands-on activities promote deeper learning andunderstanding of concepts3.Leading students toward a hands-on opportunity to work with a CNC machine will allow them

These results suggest that the use of a singleEiE™ curriculum unit with elementary aged students can significantly enhance students overallunderstanding of the work of engineers; however, does not have as much impact on theirperceptions of how engineers apply mathematics in their work and the depth of their knowledgeabout the work of engineers is not as strong.Key Words:Elementary Students, Pre-College

The paper concludes withrecommendations for implementing the design-project approach.Introduction Traditionally, engineering education emphasized disciplinary knowledge. In contemporarymechanical engineering education, university graduates are acknowledged for their extensivescientific expertise, covering engineering science, mathematics, analytical techniques, andresearch. Despite this, there is a notable gap as they fall short in acquiring critical skills expectedin the industry1. Over the last decade, the world has experienced rapid changes characterized by significantshifts
practiced in real-world settings, educators need to constructopportunities for youth to learn about the socially engaged nature of engineering. Educators canseek to create just and equitable classrooms by cultivating in teachers a critical consciousness ofsocial justice and its role in engineering (Shuster & Giesemann, 2021). This consciousness canbe developed by tying the interactions of classroom life (i.e., talk, texts, technologies) to largerissues of engineering in society. This involves the recognition that engineering is mediated by‘ideologies, beliefs about learning’ and is encoded in ‘representations, spaces and socialpractices’ of the learning environment and of the broader societal context in which engineering ispracticed (Gravel et

majority of gender-proportionality efforts employ one of two general strategies. The first has been described(usually by critics) as the “add-women-and-stir” method. Using the metaphor of plugging aleaky “pipeline,”5 these programs and models concentrate on directly encouraging more womento enter science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields through camps, specialclasses, printed and internet-based advertising, and/or “girl power” media programming. Thesecond strategy addresses the “chilly climate” issues recently highlighted by the landmark MITstudy.6 When applied to undergraduate education, chilly climate models encourage instructors toredesign engineering education using different classroom techniques more congruent withcurrent
