Fall 2025 Lecture Upper Division
Engineering and technology design has gained considerable traction in many K-12 schools. In this course, we will examine principals of engineering design and technology as well as where and how engineering and technology design best fits in a K-12 integrated STEM curriculum. Course participants will engage in authentic engineering and technology design experiences. Course participants will also design, develop, deliver integrated lessons that help K-12 students develop the knowledge, skills, and practices of engineering and technology design.
Learning Outcomes1Demonstrate a broad understanding of engineering and technology education disciplines and concepts.
2Scaffold engineering practices that support diverse learners and describe conceptual understanding and content knowledge of engineering and technology design skills through problem-based learning in i-STEM environments.
3Comprehend and elaborate data-driven decision-making skills as practiced by engineering and technology professionals to develop solutions to design briefs that support K-12 learning in diverse learning environments.
4Examine and evaluate the engineering design process in the context of integrated STEM education at the K-12 learning.
5Collaborate and prepare pedagogical practices in integrated engineering and technology design through integrated STEM that support K-12 learning for a diverse group of learners.
