Standards for K-12 Engineering Education?

148 STANDARDS FOR K–12 ENGINEERING EDUCATION?

ANNEX

Questions to Guide Input for “Stakeholder Comment Session,” July 9

1. 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?

2. 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?

3. What other advice or comments, if any, do you have for the committee?
