EngrTEAMS

EngrTEAMS - Engineering to Transform the Education of Analysis, Measurement, and Science in a Team-Based Targeted Mathematics-Science Partnership

Description of Project:
This project is designed to help 200 teachers develop engineering design-based curricular units for each of the major science topic areas within the Minnesota State Academic Science Standards, as well as data analysis and measurement standards for grades 4-8. With focus on vertical alignment and transition from upper elementary to middle-level, this project will impact at least 15,000 students over the life of the grant.

Research Question:
What are the effects of engineering design pedagogies and curricula combined with a strong coaching model on student learning in science, data analysis, measurement, process skills, and critical thinking?
