Engineering could certainly be showcased in a more comprehensive, lesssuperficial manner if more class time could be devoted to the engineering class periods.However, within the confines of an already tight academic calendar and strict curriculumstandards that must be adhered to, it is not trivial to squeeze any more content into the agenda.Perhaps a manageable middle step to growing the program would be to do single-session followup engineering lectures similar to the fourth grade sessions already in place, but have one in fifthgrade, and another in sixth, and so on. This would enable the benefit of reinforcing ideas thatwere already introduced in previous years while simultaneously
