Introduction1.1 Background Information and Literature ReviewA new trend in K-12 education is to incorporate concepts and ways of thinking from theengineering disciplines into math and science courses. A growing number of educators, startingat the postsecondary level and now spreading to the high school and elementary level, arerecognizing that awareness of and knowledge about engineering are crucial to students’ ability tonavigate our technology-dependent society. This effort by educators and policymakers to includeengineering in K-12 classrooms is part of an initiative that is often referred to as the“technological literacy” movement.The modern technological literacy movement can be said to have begun in 1996, when

Duringthe interviews, students from middle to high school said that they rejected physical sciencebecause the area was not viewed as related to helping or caring, instead preferring biology thatwould allow them to help people, animals, or the earth [4]. Keeves and Kotte (1992) foundthat men were more likely to enroll in physics and chemistry courses in secondary school.Biology was the only female-dominated area; females exceeded the number of male studentsenrolled [25]. This saturation exists because biology has been traditionally viewed by women as anurturing

How does the concept of a card or adeck differ? There is a great deal of functionality that stays the same, regardless of the cardgame being implemented.

There is the perception that ASEE is involved only in promoting and improving engineering education, specifically teaching, at the undergraduate level. We need to change that perception by expanding ASEE activities related to research and graduate education. Furthermore, there is a need to increase the number of Americans seeking and completing engineering graduate degrees. Currently, the number of Americans completing graduate degrees is alarmingly low, and as a

Questions I am left withfor example include the following: Are there opportunities to share professional societydocuments in class discussions about engineering, beyond simply exposing students to the codesof ethics? Could contextualized problems or project-based service-learning be ways to highlightthe social ramifications and significance of engineering work while also teaching technicalskills? It is essential that these factors converge if students are to experience an education
