of novice teachers’ epistemological framing ofengineering learning and teaching. The inclusion of engineering design at all grade levels in theNext Generation Science Standards calls for efforts to create learning opportunities for teachersto learn to teach engineering. In our research on the role of engineering in elementary teacherpreparation, we ask, what learning goals do new elementary teachers take up when asked to doengineering design themselves, and what learning goals do they establish when setting upengineering design tasks for students?We conducted an interpretive comparative case study with two purposefully selected cases,chosen to unpack contrasting epistemological framing of engineering.

Iron RangeEngineering (IRE) is an innovative, problem-based-learning (PBL) engineering program inVirginia, Minnesota. Throughout the curriculum of this program, students learn about and applymetacognitive skills necessary for self-regulating their learning. For the past several years, wehave been conducting research funded by the National Science Foundation1 to (1) identify themetacognitive skills inherent in self-regulated

In 2004, theNational Academy of Engineering (NAE) described the Engineer of 2020 as being proficient in“interdisciplinary teams [with] globally diverse team members” (p. 55).1 As the NAE stated,“While certain basics of engineering will not change, the global economy and the way engineerswill work will reflect an ongoing evolution that began to gain momentum a decade ago.” (p. 4).Engineering graduates will be called to solve increasingly global problems and to work in teamsthat contain members who are either from international locations or are globally distributed.Across the

Their conventional view was thatmathematical theorems could not be proved with pictures and so visualizations were dangerous.The fears of mathematicians, the constructions of Cantor and Dedekind, were rarely confrontedby engineering students who needed to become more familiar with continuous and smoothfunctions. I tried to rely on Russian books1, which were more likely to contain pictures and bedescriptive, to gain mathematical insight.
