Thisteacher workshop was one component of a three-year NSF-funded project. The aim of the projectis to foster junior high and high school student interest, skills, knowledge, and career aspirationsin engineering through authentic engineering design activities related to building automation andIOT technologies. With this in mind, participating teachers were invited to an engineering-focused summer workshop that was designed to use the transformational and excitingtechnologies of connected devices, commonly referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT

four courses (not just their own course) and at establishing course design principles. The second workshop was more directly focused on developing tangible ways for the material in the four courses to build on each other and/or be integrated, keeping in mind that most students do not take all four courses (only the TLP students do). While there were a few areas where the technical areas could build on each other (e.g., sensitivity analysis from a systems engineering course being applied to a circuit designed to operate an alarm in an electrical engineering course), most of these could not be applied in class because all students were not taking all of the courses. Instead, such technical connections were identified as good

The challenge of determining how to best balance the technical informationthat was important to convey with more easily understood conceptual basics, all while usingappropriate vocabulary, was something the majority of college students discussed in theirreflections. Though engineering instructors commonly emphasize the skill of communicatingwith the audience in mind throughout the curriculum, this type of immersive experienceexemplifies the importance of being able to adapt to a variety of audiences.

Additionally, the rapid advance of technology and incorporation intostudents’ lives at earlier ages certainly plays a role in how students may approach a paper-basedversus a computer-based test.
