Resistance to change in apredominantly traditional high school setting is a hurdle that must be overcome in order forthese frameworks to be implemented in secondary school classrooms. Resistance to change isnot an easy task to overcome as Evan[13] articulates. From that start of their educationalexperience, preservice teachers’ training and teachers’ continued professional developmentmust be the catalyst to drive this new pedagogical paradigm. EEF provides the context to guideteachers’ of science and mathematics into inquiry based lessons using relevant social issues

When amore direct comparison was made, the results indicated that an increase did not occur. However,given that a large percentage of schools were already offering sustainable engineering courses,this result was reasonable.In addition to understanding the percentage of schools offering sustainable engineering courses,the 2005 benchmark survey also examined the number of sustainable engineering coursesoffered. A comparison between the 2005 and 2010 results was examined. In 2005, the

These models are quantitative and lead to numerical predictionsof various outcomes. However, engineering/math models, by nature, require simplification; themental model must make and check the assumptions required to build a solvableengineering/math model.

At the University of Washington, this requirementis satisfied by addressing ethical responsibility and engineering ethics problems throughout thebioengineering curriculum.
