The National Academy of Sciences exploratory proposal aims at assessing the potential value and feasibility of developing and implementing K-12 content standards for engineering education. The specific objectives of this exploratory project, to be carried out by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), are (1) to review existing efforts to define what K-12 students should know, (2) to identify elements of existing standards documents for K-12 science, mathematics, and technology that could link to engineering, (3) to consider how the various possible purposes for K-12 engineering education might affect the content and implementation of standards, and (4) to suggest what changes to educational policies, programs, and practices at the national and state levels might be needed to develop and implement K-12 engineering standards. To accomplish these objectives, the project will conduct literature reviews, two commissioned background papers, three meetings of the project committee, and a two-day workshop to solicit expert views on the subject. The principal product of the project will be a peer-reviewed workshop summary report, which will be distributed to key stakeholders and presented in various professional meetings. This report is expected to set the stage for discussions and future actions related to the establishment of engineering standards.

美国国家科学院的探索性提案旨在评估为工程教育制定和实施K-12内容标准的潜在价值和可行性。这个探索性项目的具体目标，将由美国国家工程院（NAE）进行，是（1）审查现有的努力，以确定什么K-12学生应该知道，（2）确定现有的K-12科学，数学和技术标准文件的元素，可以链接到工程，（3）考虑K-12工程教育的各种可能目的如何影响标准的内容和实施，以及（4）建议教育政策，计划，可能需要在国家和州一级制定和实施K-12工程标准。为了实现这些目标，该项目将进行文献审查，编写两份委托编写的背景文件，举行三次项目委员会会议，并举办一次为期两天的讲习班，征求专家对这一问题的意见。该项目的主要成果将是一份经同行审查的讲习班总结报告，该报告将分发给主要利益攸关方，并在各种专业会议上介绍。预计该报告将为与制定工程标准有关的讨论和未来行动奠定基础。
