This Bridges for Engineering Education planning grant project consists of collaboration between the faculty in the Schools of Engineering and Education at Purdue University along with middle and high school (6-12 grade level) teachers with the goal of using engineering contexts and concepts to develop instructional settings (tasks and pedagogy) to promote higher level learning (e.g., abilities to problem solve, reason, create models, and perform critical analysis) for undergraduate students and middle and high school students. The goal is to strengthen and extend existing informal collaborations between Engineering, Education, and K-12 schools to develop a coherent, focused, and integrated research and development program for the purpose of improving the teaching of undergraduate engineering and to use engineering contexts and concepts to enhance mathematics and science education in 6-12 education. This project will involve: o Setting the stage for a novel coherent and integrated education program o Development of prototypical model-eliciting activities using engineering contexts and concepts for undergraduate engineering students o Development of innovative pedagogical environments for undergraduate engineering students - small group and class discussions o Development of prototypical model-eliciting activities using engineering contexts and concepts for middle and high school students o Realization of a framework for a novel coherent and integrated education program .

这个桥梁工程教育规划赠款项目包括在工程和教育学院在普渡大学沿着与初中和高中（6-12年级）教师之间的合作，利用工程背景和概念来开发教学环境（任务和教学法），以促进更高层次的学习（例如，解决问题、推理、建立模型和进行批判性分析的能力）。 我们的目标是加强和扩展工程，教育和K-12学校之间现有的非正式合作，以开发一个连贯的，有重点的和综合的研究和开发计划，以提高本科工程教学的目的，并利用工程背景和概念，以加强数学和科学教育6-12教育。 该项目将涉及： o为一个新颖的连贯和综合的教育计划奠定基础o使用工程背景开发原型模型引发活动， 为本科工程专业学生开发创新的教学环境-小组和课堂讨论 o为中学生和高中生开发使用工程背景和概念的原型模型引发活动o实现新颖的连贯和综合教育计划的框架。
