Among all theperformance expectations from these science standards, incorporating high school engineeringdesign requires more effective collaboration between K-12 teachers, higher educators, scientists,and engineers. Without such collaborative effort, K-12 teachers could face tremendouschallenges for the design and implementation of meaningful engineering education lessons thatcould meet the standards.

Reuse and repurposing of materials, Cradle to Cradle, and Biomimicry are his inspiration in the search for energetic, economic and social sustainability, but more than anything he designs with the purpose of finding simple solutions to complex problems.
