Few researchers,however, have examined whether formal training in engineering actually does improve theteaching of engineering in K-12 classrooms or whether formal training in subjects such asmathematics would better suit the K-12 teaching of engineering. As more states adopt the NextGeneration Science Standards, more science teachers are tasked with teaching engineering in theclassroom despite few having backgrounds in engineering. Therefore, this study investigatedwhether formal training in engineering and/or other subjects such as mathematics improvedstudent learning of the engineering design process and enhanced student understanding of
