by this type of learning, a zoom-conference based class consistingof three second grade children was created. Each day Monday through Thursday the childrenwere presented a hands-on engineering design challenge that utilized materials found in theirhomes. The children had not been previously exposed to the engineering design process (EDP).The theoretical framework for this study lies in the areas of engineering identity as well asteamwork and feedback through engineering discourse. The research questions for this studywere the following: 1) What are the impacts of teaching the engineering design process onlinevia zoom conference on development of children’s ability to use engineering discourse?

For example, General Electric (GE) Corporation has investedapproximately $1.5 billion in advanced manufacturing and additive technologies, in addition tobuilding a global network of Additive centers focused on advancing science [2]. The companyuses the additive manufacturing processes for manufacturing its jet engine nozzles because ituses less material than conventional techniques. That reduces production costs and, because itmakes the parts lighter, yields significant fuel savings for airlines. Conventional techniqueswould require welding about 20 small pieces together, a labor-intensive process in which a highpercentage of the material ends up being scrapped [3].

Using anecdotal evidence toimplement target standards, usually erring on the side of mediocrity, is very detrimental toengineering education and research, as pointed out by Labaree3.There are several learning issues in context to engineering students that need to be addressedprior to developing any teaching approach. They include the classification of learning styles ofengineering students, how should the material best be presented to promote learning, and howoften should the material be revisited. In addition, the ABET 2000 criteria specifically requirethat students

Or should it be more difficultand rigorous, presenting significant fundamental concepts and the development of goodpractices in terms of engineering analysis, problem solving, experimentation andreporting which would lay a foundation for engineering science courses in the sophomoreyear? The course has leaned in both of these directions over the last few years.
