Abrupt Shift Or Caught Off Guard: A Systematic Review Of K-12 Engineering And Stem Education’S Response To The Covid-19 Pandemic, Ibrahim Delen, Tugba Yuksel Jan 2023

Abrupt Shift Or Caught Off Guard: A Systematic Review Of K-12 Engineering And Stem Education’S Response To The Covid-19 Pandemic, Ibrahim Delen, Tugba Yuksel

Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research (J-PEER)

In the past hundred years, there have been a number of pandemics that have affected the entire world, including the 1918 H1N1 influenza pandemic, the 1957 H2N2 influenza pandemic, and the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. While responses to the most recent H1N1 influenza pandemic remained local, the COVID-19 pandemic, on the other hand, resulted in long-term school closures all around the world, prompting a sudden shift to distant education by compelling K-12 educators and students to do so. The purpose of this study is to find out how K-12 education studies reacted to the sudden shift in supporting engineering and …


Challenges Of Engineering Education In Digital Intelligence Era, Weifeng Qiao, Jie Fu Jan 2023

Challenges Of Engineering Education In Digital Intelligence Era, Weifeng Qiao, Jie Fu

Journal of Educational Technology Development and Exchange (JETDE)

The rise of the digital intelligence era signifies a new paradigm of digital technology and intelligent applications, bringing fresh opportunities and challenges to engineering practice. This paper focuses on the analysis of nine key challenges, encompassing the enhancement of complex engineering problem-solving abilities, the shortening of knowledge half-life, coping with the competition from intelligent machines, the role of engineers in industrial digitalization, the dual transformation of digitization and sustainability, effective engineering practice training, attracting outstanding young talent, digital transformation of engineering education, and the refinement of quality assessment standards for engineering education. These challenges reflect the complexity and diversity of …


Ascertaining The Impact Of P–12 Engineering Education Initiatives: Student Impact Through Teacher Impact, Marissa H. Forbes, Jacquelyn F. Sullivan, Denise W. Carlson May 2018

Ascertaining The Impact Of P–12 Engineering Education Initiatives: Student Impact Through Teacher Impact, Marissa H. Forbes, Jacquelyn F. Sullivan, Denise W. Carlson

Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research (J-PEER)

The widespread need to address both science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and STEM workforce development is persistent. Underscored by the Next Generation Science Standards, demand is high for P–12 engineering-centered curricula. TeachEngineering is a free, standards-aligned NSF-funded digital library of more than 1,500 hands-on, design-rich K–12 engineering lessons and activities. Beyond anonymous site-user counts, the impact of the TeachEngineering collection and outreach initiatives on the education of children and their teachers was previously unknown. Thus, the project team wrestled with the question of how to meaningfully ascertain classroom impacts of the digital engineering education library and—more broadly—how to …
