An Examination of Early Elementary Students’ Approaches to Engineering Jason Michal Kahn, Marina Umaschi Bers Tufts University A five-week interactive workshop gave us the opportunity to study the engineering learning processes of early elementary children, allowing us to gain a sense of their innate engineering abilities and the processes they could be taught in the context of the Project Inter-actions study at Tufts University Department of Child Development. Forty children participated in the research, split into four groups of 10 each, each group participating in 5 workshop sessions of 2 hours each

Dr. Meadows has taught upper level environmental ocean dynamics courses as well as the college’s Introduction to Engineering course, which combines a team project with technical communication material, environmental consciousness and ethics. Her most recent contribution to this course has been the development and implementation of a service-learning curriculum and the inception of an engineering education research program to explore the service-learning pedagogy in engineering

These publications are a visible symbol of the importance of communicating toboth technical and non-technical audiences, often at the same time.IV.

The curriculum aligned with state and national engineeringstandards, and this was the first unit in which students engaged during the Fall semester.The curriculum was divided into two parts: the Launcher and the Design Challenge. Thelauncher presented an introductory design challenge to introduce students to the EDP and theconcept of BID. Each step of the EDP was demonstrated through the design challenge, whichfocused on solving the problem of dirty shoes. In this challenge, students explored the lotuseffect and learned about the water-repellent properties of lotus

Socolloquially speaking, oftentimes students don’t get to see the forest for the tree. As a resultmany students lose their curiosity to learn more about the engineering profession and decide tochoose a different career path.To address these concerns, an innovative teaching model based on a structured curriculum isproposed to not only introduce students to multiple engineering disciplines but also allow themto be part of a unified engineering
