Incorporating Engineering Research Experiences into High School Physical Science CurriculaAbstractAs high school teachers, it is rare that we have the opportunity to see the engineeringapplications for the mathematics and science concepts we teach. In Summer 2009, however, weparticipated in a Research Experience for Teachers (RET) project at Tennessee Tech University.Our research experiences varied: the second author conducted research that explored packcementation processes and the variables affecting the aluminide coatings on nickel-based alloysin terms of composition and microstructure. Pack runs were conducted on the samples usingdifferent methods. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to look at

Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Physical Testing in an Elementary Engineering Camp (Research to Practice) Strand: Principles of K-12 Engineering Education and PracticeA common feature of many elementary classroom engineering design tasks is the use of aphysical test to evaluate groups’ design constructions. The design constructions often fail thephysical test—they do not meet the design criteria; this is also very common in the professionalworld, at which point engineers diagnose the problem, then re-design and create an improvedconstruction. Literature on elementary engineering has tended to contrast how students andprofessionals respond to failure, suggesting changes to the way

Limit weekends are part of the STEM pipeline into our university. The Physics onthe Ropes Course has become a welcomed educational and active element of our weekendprograms and all age groups of 7th through 12th graders participate. We have included it becausePhysics is a required course for engineering majors and thus is important for all futureengineering students. In addition, we knew from our own experience and through research thatlearning through activity and motion brings a real-world exposure to the concepts.6 Page 23.965.2Our ProgramAs part of the Sky’s the Limit engineering outreach weekend’s curriculum, we have developed aprogram to

In fact, this unit could addressboth math and physical science standards, as it involved modeling periodic phenomena withtrigonometric functions2 and using math representations to support a claim regardingrelationships among frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media.5This particular paper documents the results of my unit when taught in a pre-calculus setting.Literature review Although the connections between music, physics, and engineering have beendocumented in literature, there are few settings where students have the opportunity
