Povinelli, College of Arts and Sciences, Syracuse UniversityIntroductionGiven the wealth of design practices, it is worth examining that engineering design educatorsoften lack methodologies for students that provide sufficiently
students to bridge popular youth culture and real-world problemsolving. As research from the National Academies indicates, K-12 engineering educationcurricula make design a centerpiece.14 For participating K-12 students, engineering becomesassociated with hands-on group work and trial-and-error discovery learning, both of whichleverage and develop individual student agency. By connecting with students “where theyalready are” in terms of their interests and abilities, and by providing wide latitude in where theymay take their design solutions, K-12 programming casts a large net by attracting diversestudents with wide-ranging interests and intelligences.While K-12 logics of engagement rely on a form of educational pluralism, they typically alsobuild

where an REU or undergraduate research is the only option for active learning, thiscould lead to students not participating in any research or participating and having adisappointing experience. On the other hand, the Educating Engineering Students Innovativelyprogram allows students to take control of their engineering college experience. At the sametime, faculty can engage more students and easily scale up the number of students that canparticipate.The precursor to EESI was an independent studies course. At that time, there was no fundingavailable, and students participated voluntarily. By 2018, the official start of the EESI program,there was one company that provided both funding and an industry project. This allowedstudents to receive
