EngineeringAbstractInnovative, research-based professional development is needed to help teachers implementscience and engineering education in elementary schools. This is a challenging task, particularlyfor teachers who many have little familiarity with either science inquiry or the engineeringdesign process (EDP), and who may not have developed the instructional strategies needed tofacilitate student inquiry and engagement in EDP. In the Partnership to Improve StudentAchievement (PISA) study, 43 grade 3-5 teachers in New Jersey participated in a two-weeksummer workshop, three workshops during the school year, and received monthly classroomsupport visits, which comprised one year of instructional activities in a three-year professionaldevelopment program.

In the design studio courses, we are attempting to findbalance and connection, and increase the awareness of the interrelationships between these areasof study for the students.

technology is the traditionalmethod of teaching, i.e. lecturing or “chalk-and-talk” method. Today’s students expect theirinstructors to create an active and engaged learning environment by delivering course contentusing more than one method (i.e. classroom lecture) so that they can access it from anywhere atany time. The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department of Morgan StateUniversity has implemented a new approach that requires all courses to use video recordings toprovide supplementary materials for both face-to-face (F2F) and online courses .
