Thus, the aim of the current study was to examine the use of the Draw-An-Engineer and Applications of Mathematics and Science (DEAMS) instrument and associatedscoring rubric (DEAMS-R) for eliciting elementary teachers’ perceptions about the work ofengineers and the ways that engineers use mathematics and science.Background LiteratureEngineering EducationEngineering education has become increasingly prevalent in elementary schools during the yearssince the release of NGSS. Engaging in engineering learning activities can be a means forstudents to learn mathematics and science and make connections between school science andmathematics and real world science and mathematics[3].

consist of a closed path along which an electrical current can flow. All circuits must have a voltage source which provides power, a conductive path that the current will follow, and a load which consumes the power. In this activity, students will use batteries as their source of energy, either conductive dough or binder clips as their path, and light emitting diodes as their load. This lesson will teach students a basic understanding of circuits, demonstrate multiple ways to create functioning circuits out of real world materials, and discuss how circuits and electricity can apply to the world around them.

For K-12 education in the United States, the use ofthe phrase “STEM education” has repeatedly been used in reference to a more integratedcurricular and pedagogical approach, wherein the STEM disciplines are interconnected with oneanother and contextualized by real-world problems [1] – [3].

Furthermore, mathematical practices and modeling are also mentioned ascrosscutting skills that align with the practice of science.The realities of the practice of teaching and learning in science and mathematics in the K-12grades is that not all students are afforded the opportunity to learn science in the context of real-world applications, i.e. engineering design. This is a combination of the lack of time to includethe practice of engineering design within the available instructional time, and/or the lack ofteacher knowledge in engineering design instruction and assessment.

Kolb applies ideas from Dewey, Lewin, Piaget,Freire and others to form his Experiential Learning Theory. Kolb’s ELT theory is based on sixpropositions [24], [25]. 1. Learning is best conceived as a process. 2. All learning is relearning (or application of prior experience). 3. Learning requires the resolution of conflicts between dialectally opposed modes of adaptation to the world. 4. Learning is a holistic process of adaptation to the world. Includes
