  1. K-Gray Engineering Pathway AAAS Annual Meeting K-12 Resources in the NSDL Engineering Pathway February 16, 2007

  2. Comprehensive K-Gray Pathway for Engineering Education

  3.

  4. Target Audience for K-12 Resources • K-12 teachers, parents, students, professional development groups, summer enrichment programs and service organizations interested in problem/inquiry-based learning and bringing in real-world concepts used in engineering and applied sciences suitable for K-12. • Corporations, engineering professionals, engineering faculty and college students involved in K-12 engineering initiatives.

  5. Target Audience for Higher Education • Career information for transition for students interested in careers in engineer, computer science or technology. • Higher education professionals (faculty, instructors, staff) who need access to ABET-related engineering education resources. • Engineering students in higher education — community colleges, undergraduate universities and research universities.

  6. Engineering Pathway Features: • K-12 Community Resources • Higher Education Community Resources • Resources for Broadening Participation: Careers, Diversity • Browse and Search Resources by Keyword, Grade Level, Standard, Learning Resource Type, Title, Author, Review, Special Topics, Host Collection, Publication Year and more • Metathesaurus to Suggest Related Search Terms • Links to related terms in the NSDL • Reviews of resources/ Top Picks / Most Downloaded • User statistics on downloads, views and comments • Online Cataloging; RSS Feeds of New Resources • Personal Workspace

  7. K-12 Target Audience • TeachEngineering’s vision is to use engineering as a vehicle to integrate science and math in K-12 classrooms through inquiry-based curricula and hands-on activities that demonstrate the creativity of engineering and are relevant to the lives of youth.

  8. K-12 Teacher/ Outreach Benefits • Curricula • Hands-on • Inquiry- and project-based • Promote connections to other subjectsIntegrate Science, Technology, Math &Engineering concepts through engaging activities • Aligned with K-12 educational standards • Provides tools to assess learning outcomes • Consistent look and feel is teacher friendly • It’s free, with low-cost lessons and activities

  9. K-12 Student Benefits • Hands-on learning engages youth while cementing theory • Students thrive on learning in cooperative groupings • Curricula relate to everyday encounters in the lives of youth — learning in context… • Experience first-hand that engineering is about creating things for the benefit of society

  10. Creating Value for Users • K-12 Teachers • One-stop shopping • Curricula for classroom use • Engineering Faculty and Fellows • Use collection to partner with local schools • Opportunity to make lasting contribution • University service-learning courseware opportunities • Practicing engineers from industry and societies • What math and science do 5th graders do? • What do 7th grade science teachers need?

  11. Web portals to real and archival data from real-world systems for use in engineering, science and math activities Engineering Our Water (USGS data) Wind Engineering (wind farm data) Fastracks (Denver transportation data) Encourage students to explore, construct meaning, critically think about and use data for analysis and design

  12. EP Promotes Curricular Innovations • Content: Multidisciplinary teamwork, hands-on and laboratory experiences, open-ended problem formulation and interactives. • Integrative thinking: linking theory to practice and society • Increasing & diversifying the engineering pipeline

  13. Interoperate with NSDL Single Sign-in with NSDL

  14. Black and African American Scientists and Engineers (62) Broadening Participation (43) Cooperative and Collaborative Learning (10) Engineer 2020 (31) Engineering for Girls (9) Ethics in Science and Engineering (95) Green Design, Manufacturing and Sustainable Engrg. (188) Hispanic Engineers and Scientists (19) History of Technology (57) Mobile Learning (120) EP Allows Users to Define Topical Series • Multimedia Case Studies of Design in Industry (15) • Nanotechnology (18) • Native American Engineers and Scientists (31) • Persons with Disabilities (31) • Community-service learning (42) • Simple Machines (40) • Teaching and Learning Research (72) • Technology and Society (15) • US News Top Ten Undergraduate Institutions (32) • Women and Information Technology (1140)

  15. Levels of Review in EP • Supports a multi-tier evaluation system from our national award competition with sponsors from industry to user-based reviews of individual learning resources. • Ingestion level (minimum level) • User ratings & comments • Peer review • Premier award

  16. Cracking Dams Interactive

  17. Align Educational Resources to Standards • Align K-12 curricula with K-12 STEM educational standards. Initial states (CO, MA, NC) • National (McREL, AAAS, NSES, NCTM, ITEA) • Cross-correlated • Use ABET accreditation criteria for indexing, evaluating, selecting and reusing undergraduate engineering content.

  18. Growing the Engineering Pathway • Harvest/adapt resources from targeted projects (e.g., NSF GK-12 awards, NSF Engineering Research Centers, National Academy). • Harvest/adapt resources related to cutting-edge gaps (NSF priorities, NAE Engineer 2020 reports). • Leverage engineering content and services within other NSDL collections. • Infuse resources on inclusion and diversity in engineering education.

  19. Example TeachEngineering Resource: Simple Machines

  20. Planned Engineering Pathway Features: • K-12 Premier Award • Mapping to content standards in all states • My Workspace will have teacher folders, public folders • Ability to publish folders or lists of resource links • Recommender system • More social networking (commenting, tagging, forums, etc.) • More student-centric resources and rating schemes • Expert editors on disciplinary pages • Improved mobile device access • Widgets that can be added to your website for customized search

  21. Hands-On Workshop • Together explore Engineering Pathway/ NSDL scenarios • Register in EP to access workspace and NSDL expert voices • Explore Simple Machines, Black Scientists and Engineers, Engineering for Girls, Green Design, Manufacturing and Sustainable Engineering • Mobile learning lesson plan example • We value your feedback – please freely share your ideas and suggestions.
