The rubric, grounded in contemporaryeducational theory, emphasizes 27 key elements categorized under three main tenets: cognitiveengagement
refining the final design best suited for the problem. Within the engineeringpractices, NGSS identified grade spans in which to engage children in engineering practices. Atthe K-2 grade span children are introduced to problems that people want to change. As thechildren grow, the engineering practices shift to include the children in defining problems anddesigning solutions.Children have a natural tendency to be curious, create and design[23]. Educators can build off ofthis natural tendency in the classroom[3]. It is important to emphasize that including engineeringin elementary education doesn’t mean adding extra material to the curriculum, but insteadprovides a framework to connect the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics

benefit for industries is raising awareness of an uncommon or advancedinterdisciplinary field and technology. Students are often made aware of the opportunities infields directly related to their discipline, however, it is not as common for a student to beprepared for an interdisciplinary job right out of college. In addition, students often shareexperiences and interests. Getting students interested in the interdisciplinary field wouldpropagate more opportunities for industries to obtain valuable engineers [8]. In the case ofbiomedical engineering, the once multidisciplinary projects became a discipline of its own.

Static subject expertise is no longer sufficient for a successful career, if it everwas. Current students will need to be employees who can take their subject expertise and apply itin novel ways: invent new procedures, solve novel problems, and/or combine their insights withthose of other fields [11] - [14].
