Engineering by. Design™ A National Standards-Based Solution for Delivering K-12 Technological Literacy S. T. E. M. Education Improving Collaboration in Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens Counties The Partnership for Academic & Career Education September 14, 2006

Begin with the End in Mind Steven Covey, Habit 2 What is Engineering by. Design™ What is the Eb. D™ Network? What is e. TIDEonline? Where can I find the Eb. D™ Resources? What are the 9 Defining Features of Standards-based Programs that deliver Technological Literacy How can I get this going in South Carolina?

We Have a Very Tough Job! Currently there is not a standard curricula being implemented nationwide Supervisors find that teachers (generally) are teaching only to their expertise – not the curriculum Can we tell Boards of Education if students are becoming technologically literate? Can we explain the value-added to the business and academic community?

So Where Do WE Start ? ? ! o o We must standardize what is taught and maintain teacher flexibility Districts are provided quality, ongoing Professional Development Assess a student’s ability to be technologically literate, and to Use the assessments to inform instruction and increase student achievement in STEM

Do We Teach engineering or Engineering? engineering – little “e” – used as a verb to teach all students to think or learn to engineer or use engineering concepts Engineering – big “E” – used as a noun prepare students to be Engineers – career oriented

G Humans can devise technologies to conserve water, soil, and energy through such techniques as reusing, reducing and recycling. H When new technologies are developed to reduce the use of resources, considerations of trade-offs are important. I With the aid of technology, various aspects of the environment can be monitored to provide information for decision-making. L Decisions regarding the implementation of technologies involve the weighing of trade-offs between predicted positive and negative effects on the environment.
