Despite these efforts, the vast majority ofcollege-bound high school students continue to pursue majors outside of engineering and otherSTEM fields [3]. Furthermore, there are high attrition rates – some approaching 50

Consequently, a single integrated test called the ‘MCAS’ orthe Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System was introduced to drive the students andteachers to improve upon the quality of education and student learning. This test is nowadministered at the elementary, middle and high school level, with 25% of the 5th and 8th gradelevel science test addressing technology/engineering learning standards.With the set of state wide tests in place, and a lack of teacher expertise in implementing thetechnology/engineering standards, there arose a need to assist the

As engineering is not yet a part of most states’ elementary school standards, teachers will not be motivated to teach engineering in the classroom unless it reinforces skills in science, English language arts or mathematics.

Educators will need to demonstrate the value of engineering and science careers as careers that will require lifelong learning and training. 2. Educators must be willing to present information and design education so to appeal to millennial learning styles. Communicating cross-generationally means packaging the message in several ways so that every hearer understands [7]. Technology must be employed in the classroom and utilized to offer courses differently. If millennials do not see state-of-the-art technology in the classroom and
