: What Do They Promise And How Can They Be Used?IntroductionStudent portfolios have been listed as a possible means of assessment under the basic levelaccreditation criteria for ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)Engineering Criteria 2000. Since then, engineering educators and researchers have started to useportfolios in their teaching and are trying to explore the potentials of portfolios. Various effortshave focused on using portfolios in engineering instruction and the results of those efforts havebeen reported in the engineering education literature. This research provides educators usefulinformation on how to use or adopt portfolios efficiently in their classrooms.However, because of the diversity of the efforts to

In the discussion, we note the relevance ofthese principles to the current educational climate with its focus on helping larger groups andmore diverse groups of students to be successful.IntroductionAs new engineering educators work to become seasoned, effective, and even inspirationaleducators, searching for instructional principles (i.e., a prescription or an assertion about how toteach) that are situated in research and aligned with the goals one has for one’s own teaching canbe challenging. Furthermore, imagining how the principles can be instantiated in teachingsituations can be particularly challenging when the examples provided do not map well to one’sspecific

with engineering.One of the most pervasive engagement strategies employed in K-12 engineering education is useof real-world, context-driven engineering design. This is especially true of the Engineering isElementary (EiE) curriculum for grades K-8. EiE’s mission statement is “fostering engineeringand technological literacy for ALL elementary school-aged children.”16 The EiE curriculum issponsored by the National Center for Technological Literacy and is hosted by the Museum ofScience, Boston. Through curriculum development, research, and teacher professionaldevelopment, EiE disseminates engineering design-based curriculum for life science, earth andspace science, and physical science. The science focus in EiE is consistent with
