Tan, Edna; Barton, Angela Calabrese; Benavides, Aerin – Peabody Journal of Education, 2021
There are well-documented justice-related issues in engineering education. How do teachers begin to develop a way of seeing forward in their teaching, both in how they understand their role and their hoped-for outcomes for students, in ways that bridge the goals of justice with required engineering disciplinary expectations? In this manuscript, we…

Pina, Jeremiah; Mazur, Rebecca; Ellis, Glenn; Rudnitsky, Al; McGinnis-Cavanaugh, Beth; Ellis, Sonia; Huff, Isabel; Ford, Crystal – Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research, 2022
This paper describes the development of two versions of an NGSS-aligned principles of engineering design unit for use in middle schools. By employing a narrative framework that can help students to connect more deeply with the human contexts and consequences of the engineering design process, our goal was to enhance students' cognitive and…

Ningyu Zhang – ProQuest LLC, 2020
Recently there has been a call among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers for the integration of science and engineering education in K-12 curricula. Similarly, computational thinking (CT) has been recognized as a framework for developing computer literacy and computing skills among the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics…

Galoyan, Tamara; Songer, Nancy Butler – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
To build a sustainable future, science and engineering education programmes should emphasise scientific investigation, collaboration across traditional science topics and disciplines, and engineering design, including design and evaluation of solutions. While some research studies articulate the shifts that are needed to realise classroom learning…

Grohs, J. R.; Gillen, A. L.; Matusovich, H. M.; Kirk, G. R.; Lesko, H. L.; Brantley, J.; Carrico, C. – Journal of STEM Outreach, 2020
Broadening participation in engineering is an important national priority and has led to increasing demands for engineering content to be integrated into traditional K-12 curriculum. However, expecting teachers to incorporate engineering into their classrooms without additional training or resources is unreasonable. Partnering teachers with…

Anwar, Saira; Menekse, Muhsin; Guzey, Selcen; Bryan, Lynn A. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Recent calls for reform in K-12 science education and the National Academy of Engineering's Grand Challenges for Engineering in the 21st Century emphasize improving science teaching, students' engagement, and learning. In this study, we designed and implemented a curriculum unit for sixth-grade students (i = 1305). The curriculum unit integrated…

Cunningham, Christine M.; Kelly, Gregory J. – Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research, 2022
In this paper, we address the societally important issue of developing a more equitable approach to preK-12 engineering education. Our primary emphasis is on K-8 grades--a time when first impressions of engineering may be developed. Calls for increased participation by all students, including those who have been historically marginalized, motivate…

Hacker, Michael; Crismond, David; Hecht, Deborah; Lomask, Michal – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2017
This article is the first of a two-part series about Engineering for All (EfA), a $1.7M National Science Foundation-funded project, which introduces middle school students to engineering, not only as a career path, but as an endeavor with potential for doing social good. Engineering for All opens students' eyes to the role engineers play in…

Lomask, Michal; Crismond, David; Hacker, Michael – Journal of Technology Education, 2018
This paper reports on the use of teaching portfolios to assist in curriculum revision and the exploration of instructional practices used by middle school technology and engineering education teachers. Two new middle school technology and engineering education units were developed through the Engineering for All (EfA) project. One EfA unit focused…

M. David Burghardt; Deborah Hecht – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2020
This paper examines the differences and challenges encountered when trying to create informal blended (virtual and hands-on) engineering design STEM activities. It contrasts the creation of STEM activities for formal and informal learning environments, stressing that the differences extend far beyond the length of the activity or depth of any…

Jen, Tessaly; Morales, Christina; Greenwald, Eric; Montgomery, Ryan; Loper, Suzanna; Barber, Jacqueline – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
The United States' Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) elevate engineering design to the same stature as scientific inquiry, calling on science teachers to engage students in engineering practices to solve real-world problems. In response, researchers and curriculum developers designed and studied Virtual Engineering Internships (VEIs) to…
