Grade Level: An EiE unit should be taught in the grade level when the corresponding science concepts are addressed. Since most science topics are taught in a range of grade levels in different districts and states, the EiE units can be used in almost any grade. For each unit, the lesson plans are written either for beginning or advanced students based on when the science units are more frequently taught. In EiE units, Grades 1-2 are generally considered beginning and Grades 3-5 are considered advanced. However, depending on the abilities of students in any individual class

For example, thereis an increasing number of engineering leadership development programs, as well as increasingresearch in the topic [e.g., 1, 2].
