of an engineering design-based STEMintegration curricular unit.Study designParticipant and curriculum backgroundThe participant in this study was a 7th grade life science teacher. She had attended a three-weekteacher professional development during the summer prior to this study. The first two weeks ofthe professional development focused on content and pedagogies related to engineering, dataanalysis and measurement, and the life science subject of ecology. During these weeks, theteachers participating in the professional development completed two middle school level,engineering design-based STEM integration curricular units and also learned about STEMintegration. Throughout this process, the teachers were exposed to a variety of

stateshave encouraged the integration of science and technology literacy standards[2], the integrationof such standards into the classroom environment is challenging for an instructor and requires alarge amount of time. And so while the state curricula throughout the country contain variousstandards for technological literacy, there exists a fundamental disconnect between the existingclassroom curricula, teacher training in engineering and technology, and the available time andresources to form an effective integration.One method for aiding teachers in enhancing curriculum-integrated activities is to go throughexternally funded programs such as the NSF RET and NSF GK12 programs. This work wascarried out through funding provided by the NSF GK12
Innovations in Software Engineering Education: An Experimental Study of Integrating Active Learning and Design-based LearningABSTRACTSignificant advancements have been made in engineering education in recent years.

This course, entitled “Biological Frameworks for Engineers”instructs biology concepts from an engineering perspective and emphasizes the functionalaspects of biological systems. It is divided into a series of three to four week modules, eachestablishing a real-world problem as a context for active, problem-based learning. Acombination of instructional methods are used for each module such as lectures, in-class student-centered exercises, discussions, and labs. A matrix of assessment methods are integrated into thecurriculum to triangulate on student learning outcomes and to provide feedback to theinstructional team as part of an iterative course development cycle
