Fromthe many challenges facing K-12 teachers, we isolated two critical hurdles that must besurmounted in order to improve middle school STEM instruction:≠ The ever-widening gap between the production of quality, web-delivered instructional new media and most middle school teachers’ ability to meaningful integrate these advancements into their curriculum and their classroom activities; and≠ The demands placed on teachers by new reform guidelines -- both state and national -- that call for less dependence on textbooks, lectures, and de-contextualized lab work and more emphasis on inquiry-based

To prepare industrial and manufacturing engineering students for today’swork environment, courses should be geared toward developing a knowledge base to expandcareer opportunities and allow students the ability to move forward simultaneously withindustrial advancements. The goal of this project was to research and develop an Ergonomic andSafety curriculum together with the definition of a standard curriculum design process that willallow for ease in future implementation of programs independent of the area of study. The basisof the defined procedure is a survey of involved parties. The outcome of the project included acourse-specific Ergonomic and Safety curriculum. The proposed four-course/one-project

The focus of this paper will center on a decade-long distance-based education collaborative’s resilience to the rapid change incurred bythe adjustments forced upon education by the 2020 pandemic. The most notable of thechanges was the shift from having the majority of the student curriculum taught face toface (outside of the distance-based pre-engineering program) to suddenly the entirety ofthe learning experience moved online. For this particular program, this included the two-week Summer Camp experience at North

Of these, items two andfour focus on holistic engineering, emphasizing global cultural, social, environmental, andeconomic factors.To address all of the critical aspects of engineering projects, students must successfully analyze therequirements, synthesize information, and evaluate several design options for a given problem.These cognitive skills match well with Bloom’s
