Project Goal

• Develop a curricula and implementation model that
  results in increased ability and pursuit of
  careers within the field of engineering.
• Model K-12 students apply critical math,
  science, and technology knowledge while planning,
  designing, testing, revising, and implementing
  engineering activities.
• Challenge Prepare, motivate, and retain students
  in the pursuit of engineering related
  opportunities.

Project Objectives

• Objective 1 Online Teacher Education Model
• Design, implement, and document a model of
  effective, interactive, online teacher training
  that results in teacher retention and
  satisfaction.
• Objective 2 Develop and Disseminate Classroom
  Implementable Products
• All participating teachers will develop three
  standards-based products for each of their eight
  course units. These classroom implementable
  products will score at least a 2.5 on the rubric
  and will be shared online.
• Objective 3 Articulated Standards-based
  Engineering Technology Pathway
• Create an articulated standards-based engineering
  technology course series that informs, motivates,
  and prepares middle and high school students for
  progressively more sophisticated competencies.

Project Overview

• This project is developing a curricula and an
  implementation model that has provided in
  increased ability and fostered the pursuit of
  higher education in the field of engineering. The
  curricula and model is resulting in middle and
  high school students applying critical math,
  science, and technology knowledge while they
  plan, design, test, revise, and implement
  engineering activities.
• The value added product, as a result of this
  project, is standards-based units of study at the
  7-12 level and an articulated pathway for
  learners to successfully transition to two-year
  engineering technician programs. The units of
  study are assembled into two separate curricula
  for the middle and high school levels and a model
  implementation plan.

The Model

• Research-based curriculum
• Standards-based and interdisciplinary
• Comprehensive pathway and articulation plan
  (K-14)
• Instructional model
• Unit design
• Instructional strategies

12
Courses

• TECH 665 Innovation and Engineering Design
  (middle school)
• Course prepares prospective teachers to teach a
  middle school course emphasizing engineering
  design activities to understand how criteria,
  constraints, and processes affect designs.
  Brainstorming, visualizing, modeling,
  constructing, testing and refining designs will
  be studied.
• TECH 660 Design for Engineering (high school)
• Course provides an orientation and exposure to
  the careers and challenges of engineering. Major
  engineering concepts included are modeling,
  systems, optimization, technology-society
  interaction, design and ethics.
