AB  - We present K-12 educational lesson plans towards conducting college level research in engineering. These experiences are an extension of a National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Teachers project (EEC-2055705), where math and science K-12 teachers are trained to conduct research on sustainable and resilient engineering systems in various disciplines. For the Industrial Engineering (IE) project, our trainees employed an analytics process to study options in sustainable building design. Decisions in the early design phase have a long-lasting impact on every pillar of sustainability: people, planet, and prosperity. Most students think engineering is building robots, but the IE analytics process is a generally applicable computational approach to study engineering systems. This training will be brought into the classroom by asking their students to consider this engineering-related question: When an engineer works on something innovative, how do they approach the problem on the job or in college? The students will then learn to follow our IE analytics process using design of experiments, machine learning, and optimization in a real-world context. This collaboration has enabled teachers to broaden their understanding of what engineering offers, and they can now share this with their students to encourage them to find the engineering discipline that matches their interests.
