Definitions:
Technology:• Anything human-made or used to solve a
problem or fulfill a desire.• Technology can be an object, a system, or
a process.
Engineering:• A problem-solving process called the
Engineering Design Process• Designing under constraint

Inquiry - Design
Scientific Inquiry Engineering Design
Formulate a question. Define a problem.
Research how others have answered it. Research how others have solved it.
Brainstorm hypotheses and choose one. Brainstorm solutions and select one.
Conduct an experiment. Create and test a prototype.
Modify hypothesis based on results. Redesign solution based on tests.
Draw conclusion, write paper. Finalize design, make drawings.
Submit paper for peer review. Present optimal solution to client.
Ask new question Define new problem.

NAE: K-12 Engineering http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12635
Potential Benefits: • improved learning & achievement in science
& mathematics;• increased awareness of engineering ;• ability to engage in engineering design;• interest in engineering as a career; and,• increased technological literacy - the ability to
use technologyRecommendation:• more research needed

NAE: K-12 Engineering Standards?
http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12990
• limited experience , not enough teachers• significant barriers to new stand-alone standardsAlternatives:• infuse INTO existing or revised standards• map big ideas in engineering ONTO existing subjectsRecommendations:• develop core ideas, guidelines for instructional
materials• large scale survey of K-12 engineering• cognitive research on engineering conceptsStates with Engineering in Science Standards:• MA, TN, IN, NH, RI, OR, WA, …
