Three models, a double chamber lock, an aqueduct, and achange bridge, were built constructed out of wood and one, a lift bridge, was constructed frommetal. Each model was carefully constructed and detailed. The illusion of stone work wascreated using spray paint and felt tip markers. The students worked together through the entireprocess, learning how the structures themselves were built, and learning how the models neededto be constructed to mimic the actual structure. The models are currently on exhibit in the NottMemorial as part of Union College’s exhibit on the Erie Canal

Active education, where students are exposed to the newtechnologies by individual involvement, could become a primary medium for bringing new toolsand technologies to general community usage. For example, the trend for the coming century inthe automobile manufacturing and aerospace industries is Green flexible machining. This newtrend is a paradigm shift from current infrastructure. Are our students educated to this rapidlychanging trend?

By doing so, I hope to push back against dominant perceptions about teachingengineering to young learners and offer an example mini-unit plan for other educators to adaptfor teaching aerospace or other relevant engineering concepts.Conceptual FrameworkThis mini-unit – playfully titled “Cool It!” – was developed using principles of culturallyresponsive and sustaining pedagogies (CRSP), community-based learning (CBL), and

As of late, there has been a push to get more engineering content into high schoolcurriculums. Today several state education standards address engineering to some degree, butthere is considerable variation among those state standards, and the national effort to introducesuch standards is still in its infancy. Indeed, the National Academy of Engineering is currentlyconducting a study (due out in March 2010) on K-12
