Integrating Engineering into K-6 Curriculum: Developing Talent in the STEM Disciplines
Mann, Eric L.; Mann, Rebecca L.; Strutz, Michele L.; Duncan, Daphne; Yoon, So Yoon
Journal of Advanced Academics, v22 n4 p639-658 Aug 2011
The fields of gifted and engineering education share many common interests, and their students share many common attributes. Infusing and making engineering implicit in the K-6 education programs creates opportunities to develop concepts, skills, and habits of the mind that are valuable in all disciplines while providing opportunities to discover and develop talent in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
