Engineering Education, 2015 The Assessing Teachers’ Experiences with STEM and Perceived Barriers to Teaching Engineering (RTP-1)AbstractThe next generation science standards (NGSS) call for all K-12 students to participate inengineering experiences. This will be a new subject area for many schools in the U.S. Teachersreceive training to teach science and math, but most elementary and middle school teachers havenot received engineering or technology education training. As the push for incorporating moreSTEM into K-12 increases, it is important to understand teachers’ attitudes and experiencesrelated to engineering and STEM at the K-12 level.
