Paul Scovazzo – Chemical Engineering Education, 2025
Simplifying equations via assumptions is integral to the "engineering method." Algebraic scaling helps in teaching the engineering skill of making good assumptions. Algebraic scaling is more than a pedagogical tool. It can create a solution where one was not possible before scaling. Scaling helps in engineering proper design…

Varadarajan, Sudhir – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2023
The 1950s saw the emergence of the science-driven model of engineering education. In the following decades, the model has been continuously challenged to incorporate aspects such as liberal arts, information & communication technology, design, entrepreneurship, innovation, sustainability, industry 4.0, and more recently, online-learning. This…

Purzer, Senay; Quintana-Cifuentes, Jenny; Menekse, Muhsin – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: Understanding the nature of engineering is important for shaping engineering education, especially precollege education. While much research has established the pedagogical benefits of teaching engineering in kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12), the philosophical foundations of engineering remain under-examined. Purpose: This…

Marissa L. Gray; Celinda M. Kofron – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2024
We have implemented a jigsaw framework in our biomedical engineering capstone design course by overlaying strategic consideration groups across our design teams. Collaboration in design courses is usually focused within a design team with some peer feedback, but opportunities to work across teams are often limited. The purpose of this teaching tip…

Andrew J. Hughes; Mike Stitzer – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2022
The intention of this article is to provide Technology and Engineering Educators (T&EEs) with a more thorough understanding of the product realization process (PRP) being implemented during machine design. Machines can be defined as the combination of simple machines and mechanisms for the purpose of doing work (Hughes & Merrill, 2021b).…

Frederick R. Missel; Jeremy V. Ernst; Daniel P. Kelly; Erik Schettig; Aaron C. Clark – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2023
For students to gain the most out of education, they need to form long-term memories from experiences gained through active learning. The greatest distinction between active learning and traditional approaches involves the types of tasks and problems the students are challenged to solve. Active learning activities should be structured with student…

Tonya Isabell; Nathan Mentzer – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2022
The engineering design process is very involved, and it is easy to superficially treat some design steps by rushing through them. This superficial treatment not only jeopardizes student learning of good design thinking skills, but it also fosters a sense of busywork because students feel as though they are just checking boxes rather than engaging…

Moulare Kesse; Andrew Jackson – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2023
This article describes central tenets for design thinking and entrepreneurial thinking individually, then examines their intersection to analyze a product's feasibility in the market. The conceptual framework of combining design and entrepreneurial thinking can foster novelty in design, and also provides a means of extending instruction in the…

Frackson Mumba; Alexis Rutt; Reid Bailey; Laura Pottmeyer; Rachael van Aswegen; Jennie Chiu; John Ojeogwu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
"The Framework for K-12 Science Education" and the Next Generation Science Standards require teachers to integrate engineering design into K-12 science teaching. However, many teachers have no formal preparation in engineering design and how to integrate it into science instruction. Furthermore, few models exist for preparing teachers in…

Holly Golecki; Joe Bradley – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2024
Biomedical engineering capstone design courses provide a salient opportunity to discuss ethical considerations in engineering. As technology and society develop and change, new challenges constantly arise related to how society and technology inform each other. In this space, ethical training for engineering students is critically important for…

Flowers, Jim; Wierzbicki, Alexander; Weldy, Alexandra – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2020
The use of CO[subscript 2] laser cutters/engravers in technology and engineering education "allows even beginning students to produce professional parts in a very short time [and] empowers and motivates students, helping to bring out their creativity" (Flowers, 2000, p. 11). They are fast, accurate, fun to use, and they facilitate…

Todd R. Kelley; Taylor James Chandler; Teddy Lu – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2022
This article is in response to requests that the author provide sketching techniques to help teach young learners how to improve their design sketching. Teachers indicated that, like creative confidence, students lack confidence in their sketching abilities and teachers also often struggle to be confident in teaching sketching. This article…

Scott R. Bartholomew; Nathan Pehrson – Technology and Engineering Teacher, 2023
A group of adults, dressed in authentic medieval costumes, organize and stage a full-scale battle at a local park; weapons (made from foam), roles, and medieval speech are all part of the event. This is known as "Live Action Role Play" -- more commonly referred to as "LARP." Although many settings and scenarios have been used…
