descending order of the highestincidence of EEF content standards found, the regions were ranked as follows: 1) New England,2) Mid-Atlantic, 3) Great Lakes, 4) Southwest, 5) Southeast, 6) Pacific, 7) Midwest, and 8)Mountain. Also shown in Figure 1 is the breadth of the EEF content standards in each region. Thebreadth of engineering content is defined as the total number of engineering content standardsidentified in each state in the region divided by the number of states in that region. Thiscomputation constructs a state average for each region that was used for regional comparison.For this analysis, the regions are ranked as follows: 1) New England, 2) Mid-Atlantic, 3) GreatLakes, 4) Southwest, 5) Southeast, 6) Pacific, 7) Midwest and 8
