futurepublications.ConclusionThe opportunities for PK-12 students to be exposed to engineering and its benefits to the world in generaland to each individual in particular are infinite. Through strategic planning and the creation of real-worldconnections, students can be inspired to consider engineering as a “normal” part of everyday living whichprovides a pathway for the development of creative ideas that can impact the world in both positive andnegative ways. Through “career imprinting,” PK-12 students can be encouraged to fully connect learningand living so they more intimately understand why what they are learning really matters. They will then,hopefully, choose to become engineers who are committed to making the world a better place to live,work, and play now as

In planning thisdevelopment, we found that the Aeronautical Engineering program at MIT grew out of theirNaval Architecture program in 1912. Similarly, the Aeronautical Engineering program atMichigan grew from their Naval Architecture department. “An example of the pioneeringteamwork provided by Cooley and Sadler came in 1914 with the offering of aeronauticalengineering courses, following Sadler's organization of the UM Aero Club in 1911. By 1916 acomplete four-year aeronautical degree program was offered within the renamed department ofNaval Architecture

For engineering students needing hands-on experience in sensor hardwareand data acquisition, they have an opportunity to handle practical problems of higher complexityand are more aware of the social context where the sensors are situated. For example, studentscan compare their sensor deployment plan with the sensor network in industry to gain more real-world experience. For engineering students who develop applications concerning sensor data,they can focus more on their specialized projects rather than being distracted by fundamentalproblems of data acquisition.

The development of an assessment system tied through backwards design to the educational objectives that frame the content and processes of the courses is viewed to be one of the products of this project.
