WORKSHOP INFORMATIONProposed Title:Introduction to LinkEngineeringAbstract: Please provide a concise description that includes the workshop’s learning objectives(maximum 750 characters). The abstract is used on the ASEE website, program materials, andotherK-12 Workshop promotional activities.The National Academy of Engineering is developing a new website to provide support forteachers, informal educators, administrators, and teacher educators implementing engineeringin preK-12 education. Attendees will learn about the site’s features and will be able to explorethe site, download resources, and interact with others in a virtual community of practice. Inaddition to creating their own profile on the site so they can download resources and interactwith others, attendees will be provided a quick-start guide to share with their colleagues.Workshop Description. Please provide a detailed description of the proposed workshop that, atminimum, explicitly addresses the following (maximum 4,000 characters):         a.

Practical application for teachers and outreach staffAttendees will learn about the site from a brief presentation that will provide an overview of thefeatures, including the available resources such as videos and lesson plans and a community ofpractice that includes educators and others with diverse experience in preK-12 engineeringeducation. The presentation will describe how the resources and community can help attendeesand their colleagues implement engineering education that accurately reflects core ideas andpractices, is evidence based, and attends to relevant standards practices. Following thepresentation, attendees will briefly familiarize themselves with the site by either joining thecommunity and creating their own profile or browsing the site anonymously. Once attendeeshave had a chance to browse the site they will be given an assignment to design a lesson theycan use in their classroom. We will ask them to follow the engineering design process to askthemselves what topic they want to teach, imagine a good activity for their class, use thewebsite to plan and create that activity, and then ask one of site’s experts for feedback on waysto improve the activity. In addition to having the experts be available virtually on the site, we willinvite experts to be in the room to provide immediate feedback. During the course of theworkshop, attendees will learn how to search for, download, and comment on resources thatcould help them in their work as well as search for a colleague who could provide mentorship orother advice. Attendees will leave with access to the site along with a “quick-start guide” that willremind them of the site’s features, search terms, and organization. All attendees will gainpractical information related to 1) what resources exist on the site; 2) how to access, use, andrate those resources; and 3) how to search for and connect with peers, mentors, or coacheswho can support them as they implement engineering in preK-12 education.Authentic Engineering Connection. Identify and describe how you will explicitly address theways in which your lesson or activity is representative of the processes, habits of mind andpractices used by engineers, or is demonstrative of work in specific engineering fields.i At leastone of those must be within the first four listed, below; i.e., do not only check “other”. Check allthat apply:          Use of an engineering design process that has at least one iteration/improvement          Attention to specific engineering habits of mind          Attention to engineering practices (as described in the NGSS/Framework and as          practiced by engineers)          Attention to specific engineering careers or fields related to the lesson/activity          Other (please describe below)Provide a description of how you will explicitly address these aspects of authentic engineering inyour workshop (maximum 2,000 characters):2015-ASEE-K12-Proposal-LinkEngineering 1 22 15.docx                                         Page 3 of 6                     WORKSHOP PROPOSAL FORM                2015 Annual ASEE K-12 Workshop on Engineering Education             “Authentic Engineering: Representing & Emphasizing the E in STEM”                               Presented by Dassault Systems                                      Saturday, June 13, 2015                                      8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.                                   Sheraton Seattle | Seattle | WAThe NAE has followed the engineering design process in developing the LinkEngineeringwebsite, and we expect the site’s users to incorporate some elements of engineering design intheir interactions with the site. Various stakeholder groups, including teachers and teachereducators; curriculum and assessment developers; administrative leaders at the school, district,and state level; and educators and program developers working in after- and out-of-schoolsettings have provided input to NAE on their concerns and needs regarding implementation ofengineering education at the preK-12 level. This input is driving development of the site’scontents, structure, and features. The website has undergone several iterations based onstakeholder feedback and will continue to be improved. During the workshop itself, attendeeswill develop an activity to use in their classroom using a version of the engineering designprocess. In addition, the quick-start guide that will be provided to the attendees will explainwhere to find the resources on the site that address the engineering design process,engineering habits of mind, engineering practices, NGSS-related content, and information onspecific engineering fields and careers.Diversity. This year is the American Society for Engineering Education’s “Year of Action onDiversity.” It is essential that we have a diverse engineering workforce to solve diverseproblems. To do that and to have an engineering-literate public, it is essential that we reach everypreK-12 student with high-quality engineering education, drawing on issues of access and equityin the classroom and in the curriculum. Reviewers would like to know how your proposedworkshop will address diversity.Provide a description of how you will explicitly address diversity – e.g., diversity with respect togender/sex, ethnicity or race, special education inclusion, socio-economic status, or LGBT status– in your workshop (maximum 2,000 characters):The site is being developed with diversity as a core feature. The site design and resources willbe inviting and engaging to all educators and children and will follow principles that fosterinclusivity and equity, such as 1) setting learning in a real-world context, 2) presenting authenticengineering design challenges, 3) scaffolding student work, and 4) demonstrating both that“everyone engineers” and that everyone can be an engineer. The website will also includeresources that are focused on helping educators support diverse students, including some thatexplicitly state why diversity matters and why equity practices are good for everyone. Inaddition, the site will include evidence-based practices that support recruitment and retention ofunderrepresented groups in engineering, provide tips to avoid practices that discourageinclusivity, and be designed for universal access of all individuals. During the workshop, we willexplain how the site incorporates diversity and inclusivity.Are there any online components to the proposal or presentation? (Note that these onlinecomponents may only be available to presenters or those who have their wireless subscriptions,since wireless may not be available during the workshop sessions.)
