Questions to Guide Input for “Stakeholder Comment Session,” July 9
- To the extent that you are aware of such efforts, in general, do you think teaching engineering in K-12 schools is a good idea or not, and why?
- Many areas of education (e.g., mathematics, science, history, geography) have developed content standards that suggest what K-12 students should know and be able to do at different points in their school careers. No such standards exist for engineering.
a. Would such standards for engineering be a good idea or not, and why?
b. What alternatives to traditional standards might help bring consistency and coherence to K-12 engineering education?
- What other advice or comments, if any, do you have for the committee?
