New possibilities for broadening the impacts of middle school engineering through a partnership between teachers and underrepresented STEM undergraduates

Poster

Engineering design tasks allow students to apply science concepts to solve problems and understand the practical value of scientific knowledge. Yet, it can be challenging for science teachers to find ways to support students to clearly draw connections between the scientific ideas behind engineering problems and the ways in which engineering solutions interact with scientific phenomena. It is also challenging for teachers to make connections between science and engineering in culturally responsive ways.
