By creating an integrated site for use at all three institutional levels, it was envisionedthat education improvement processes at the three levels could also be integrated. The primarypurpose of the website was to create a focused repository of materials related to engineeringeducation.

As such, it has the potential to actas an educational platform that integrates many different fundamental disciplines, particularlythose that may be initially daunting for students, into a real-world application. Our team iscurrently developing a low-cost, high-precision, table-top ultrasound system optimized foreducation and student-led research. In parallel to hardware design, we are also creating anintegrated curriculum for fundamental engineering concepts relevant to undergraduates inbiomedical, mechanical, and general engineering programs.

The math teacher decided tocreate several projects to be the basis of the course: a rocket project, a stop-motion animationproject, an instrument-making project, and an egg drop project. With these four projects,students would be able to use the engineering design process to apply their knowledge andunderstanding of basic physics concepts. Execution One of the most important decisions our school made this last year was to combine ourpreviously separate math and science teams into one STEAM team.

By focusing on external evaluation as an integral component of aneducational system, this paper seeks to highlight the value of this seemingly “peripheral work”(Lederman, 2019). This in turn raises critical questions about how power dynamics and otherasymmetric relationships can be exposed early in the development of an academic plan.

Kolb (2000) in his Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) highlights the necessity ofcyclical instruction. ELT divides the learning cycle in to four phases: experiencing, reflecting,thinking, and acting. As a model for education, this process is both planned (formatted) andresponsive to the situation and content/skills being learned: activities are structured and plannedbut flexible to include individual. The cyclical nature of ELT supports this project in thenecessity of revisiting concepts at various points, over time to solidify and deepen a learner’sknowledge or concept acquisition and mastery
