further research.Introduction This paper shares the results of a study of the ways in which 35 elementary teachersdeveloped ‘teacher-of-engineering’ identities before and after teaching science-technology-engineering integrated units of instruction (hereafter, STE units), each of which include anEngineering is Elementary (EiE) unit, for the first time. The theoretical background section ofthe paper discusses the construct of identity, as well as the importance of examining teacher-of-engineering identity. Next, the paper describes the context of the SySTEmic Project in which thestudy was situated. This is followed by a description of the quantitative and qualitative methodsused to study teachers’ experiences with and perspectives about
the development ofthe integrated curriculum. This core group consisted of one associate dean, one academicdirector, one program chair, five faculty that knew the university and one new hire (summer1997). All engineering programs and mathematics, physics and chemistry were represented inthe core group. This group set its own goals for the outcomes of the curriculum and designed thecourse sequence as well as the courses. The overall goals for the curriculum were set as• The introduction of key theoretical concepts “in context.”• The development of better teaming and problem-solving skills in students.• The development of the necessary technological skills in students.• The improvement of students’ communication skills.• The

However, there are major limiting factors to the synchronous, clocked approach,including the

Increasedcomplexity is being driven by many factors: new technologies, shorter applicationdevelopment life cycles, iterative development, more geographically distributedprojects and resources, increased tool diversity and higher risks [7]. In addition,business executives are placing increased emphasis on making sure that the solutionsdeveloped by IT are aligned with the business’ needs.

important questions, since their professional survival will largely depend on how well weprepare them to face the realities of our times. We live in very exciting times. A time when, due to rapid increase in globalization andInformation Technology (IT), most products assembled in the United States have more than 70%of their content supplied by various domestic and overseas firms. As examples consider the carmotors fabricated in Japan for the Big Three American car manufacturers, or the many essentialparts and subassemblies imported from all over by Boeing for their planes. In the information andcomputer technologies, and many others, engineers in different countries work and collaborate onthe same project 24/7. It is a time when staying

science, andin clarifying that distinction in the minds of engineering students.Modern engineering is a human cultural activity that involves an interplay between theory,experiment, and imagination, in which human beings form and transform nature, for practicalends and purposes, with the aid of tools and procedures.1 Those “practical ends and purposes”involve human society in all its multifaceted complexity. Thus engineering design requires aholistic and integrated perspective on reality before engineering problems can be properlyformulated and solved. The first two sections of this paper discuss that distinction betweenengineering (or technology) and science, and examine the difficulties that ensue when thatdistinction is not made. To

Marvels CourseEngineering Marvels was designed to introduce students to engineering within historical andcultural contexts of various engineering marvels. The course description as it appeared in thecourse syllabus is provided below: Engineering has evolved over the years as technology and society has advanced. This course will investigate technical engineering concepts, the evolution of engineering, and the historical and cultural significance of engineering through the study of ancient and modern engineering marvels around the world. A framework of basic engineering analysis and historical context will be explored for the marvels before travel, and site visits and tours will take place abroad to explore these

options for curriculum design in first-year programs.Background and ObjectivesIn the mid-2000’s, a call went out to integrate the teaching of science, technology, engineering,and mathematics into what we now collectively refer to as STEM [1]. Since that time, additionalinitiatives have suggested that it might be even more beneficial to integrate the arts into STEMlearning, creating STEAM. Some even argue that it should be pushed even further, addingadditional study of the societal implications of STEAM research and work, further lengtheningthe acronym to STEAMS [2]. For this paper, the focus will remain on STEAM and itsimplications for the first-year engineering curriculum.Students’ experiences in their first-year engineering (FYE) classes are

For preservice teachers’ who arealso charged with learning how to teach engineering design, research has considered howpreservice teachers may be supported in creating engineering design pedagogy [18], facilitatingstudent-teacher interactions in design experiences [19], [20], and enacting engineering practices[21].

Because the students voluntarily enrolled in theclass, it is believed that a high level of interest in science and engineering already existed forthese particular students. The concept inventory and course and interest evaluations clearlyshowed that the students' knowledge of fluid mechanics and interest in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) was strengthened even further by their participation.BackgroundThe Mississippi Governor’s School (MGS) is a three-week residential summer program forrising high school juniors and seniors throughout the state of Mississippi.
