ANNEX
Questions to Guide Input for “Stakeholder Comment Session,” July 9
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?
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.
Would such standards for engineering be a good idea or not, and why?
What alternatives to traditional standards might help bring consistency and coherence to K–12 engineering education?
What other advice or comments, if any, do you have for the committee?
