Engineering Essentials for STEM Instruction: How do I infuse real-world problem solving into science, technology, and math? (ASCD Arias)
<p>Are you looking for ways to incorporate rigorous problem solving in your classroom? Are you struggling with how to include the €œE€ in your STEM instruction? Here is where to start.</p><p>In this practical introduction to engineering for elementary through high school teachers, you€ll learn how to create effective engineering-infused lessons that break down the barriers between science, math, and technology instruction. Veteran teacher Pamela Truesdell highlights engineering€s connection to 21st century skills and college and career readiness, addresses the Next Generation Science Standards, and walks you through each step of the simple but powerful <i>engineering design process</i>. This is the essential tool of professional engineers and the key to engaging students in hands-on, collaborative projects that ask them to apply content area knowledge to find solutions for real-world problems. A sample lesson, links to additional resources, and guidelines for assessment ensure you€ll have the essentials you need to kick off your students€ exploration of engineering.</p>
