outreach.Introduction and BackgroundTo promote K-12 student engagement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM), it is imperative that science and math teachers effectively link their content material toissues of significance to the students. Transportation issues, in particular those that occur duringtimes of such national emergencies as hurricanes, earthquakes, or war, have recently come to theforefront of national concern. People at all levels, from students in elementary schools to policymakers to research scientists and engineers, have all attempted to comprehend and to mitigate thehuman impact inflicted by disasters such as Katrina and 9/11. Many of the lessons learneddirectly concern the engineering and science communities. How do we

believe that AM will fundamentally change healthcaredelivery and this should be emphasized in the future. Inviting guest speakers and showing videosof current AM applications at the beginning of the course will demonstrate to the students thepower of this emerging technology. We also discovered that students became attached to theirinitial design ideas and were resistant to criticism. One of the most uncomfortable class periodsinvolved a guest speaker from a local entrepreneurship launch pad who challenged the studentsto consider as many different design options as possible that would solve the problem the teamidentified. The students bristled at the notion that their original designs were not adequate.Embedding activities to help students

This paperis divided into the following four sections: first, we provide a snapshot of the NEET program.Next, we describe the evaluative assessment already carried out on the pilot implementationof four of the twelve Ways of Thinking in NEET, including lessons learned from the pilotsand analyze and present implications arising from our learning. We then outline our futureplans and intentions for continuing to pilot these four, and other Ways of
