Second, weexplore different engineering education curriculums for use in the elementary classroom.Finally, we examine the use of drawings to explicate student understanding of engineering. Student Misconceptions about Engineers. Trevelyan (2019) states that “engineers arepeople with technical knowledge and foresight who conceive, plan, and organize delivery,operation, and sustainment of man-made objects and systems. These objects and systems enablepeople to do more with less effort, time, materials, energy, uncertainty, health risk, andenvironmental disturbances” (paragraph 5). However, many

However,making fair and accurate student assessment in this kind of learning environment can bechallenging, even for the best teachers. While past efforts to develop assessment methodologiesfor engineering capstone design have shed light on the subject [10, 11], it still remains unclearwhat truly makes one capstone team successful and others, perhaps less so. This very lack ofclarity is a call for additional investigation into the relevant

Also, a survey will be conducted during the next offering of thecourse in order to rate the topics that are covered, perhaps replacing one of the topics with a topicsuggested by the students should the feedback indicate that. Many students have already expressedinterest in interview training.

The extent to which this is accomplished must berigorously evaluated. Ultimately, a definitive assessment of the impact of the WSU model onstudent retention, motivation and success, as well as on student learning in subsequent math andengineering courses, will provide the pedagogical basis for its adoption nationwide.

At our university, students are beginning to see sustainability as an over-archingacademic theme, not one assigned to a typical classroom slot. The university’s administratorsare even considering requiring a sustainability component as a requirement for graduation.Sustainability is often defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising theability of future generations to meet their own needs. 3 The president of our university recentlypublicly signed an action plan committing our campus to sustainability and

Men were called up to service, andindustry needed people with technical expertise at drawing boards and engineering shops toproduce planes and tanks for the war. So, companies sought to hire female engineers. But theycould not find enough female engineers. Companies like General Electric hired women withknowledge of Math and Science, gave them emergency crash courses and turned them intowartime engineers’ aides.One of the most elaborate of such plans, in 1942, was the Curtiss-Wright airplane company’sinitiative for training "Curtiss-Wright Cadettes."
