Paper ID #26416Engineering Education Using Inexpensive DronesDr. Randy Michael Russell, UCAR Center for Science Education Randy Russell develops science and engineering education curriculum and trains teachers via his job with the K-12 education group at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), a large atmospheric science research lab in Boulder, Colorado. He has a Ph.D. in education from Michigan State, a Master’s degree in aerospace engineering from U. Maryland, and a B.S. in astrophysics from Michigan State. He did most of the development work on a drone-based engineering education curriculum for underrep
inquiry and scientific processes thru the use of engineering curriculum specifically targeted for the audience. • YES! We will continue the dialogue (within our program, across disciplines within our institution, and with our partner 4-year university to strengthen the education our students receive and to align what we do to a greater degree. • They sure will. They can demonstrate the skills they gain in the program to help classroom children appreciate the importance of bridging engineering, science and technology at an early state, and hopefully choose career paths in engineering.Faculty Focus GroupIn March 2011 DSRA conducted a focus group interview with five faculty members fromMiddlesex Community
