Benenson, Gary; Stewart-Dawkins, Shawndel; White, Gwynn – Advances in Engineering Education, 2012
In spite of numerous calls for action, e.g., Executive Office of the President (2010), there have been few efforts nationally to promote engineering education in the elementary grades. Of these, hardly any have targeted underrepresented populations (National Academy of Engineering, 2009, p. 74). The collaboration described in this paper is a…
