The Engineering for All project creates, tests and revises two-six week prototypical modules for middle school technology education classes, using the unifying themes and important social contexts of food and water. The modules employ engineering design as the core pedagogy and integrate content and practices from the standards for college and career readiness. Embedded assessments are developed and tested to make student learning visible to both teachers and students. Professional development for a limited group of teachers is used to increase their knowledge of engineering design and to test instruments being developed to measure (a) student and teacher capacity to employ informed design practices and (b) teacher design pedagogical content knowledge. The project leadership is experienced at creating materials for engineering and technology and in providing professional development for teachers. The assessments and instruments are created by educational researchers. The advisory board includes engineers, science and engineering educators, and educational researchers to guide the development of the modules, the assessments and the instruments. An external evaluator reviews the protocols and their implementation. This project has the potential to provide exemplary materials and assessments for engineering/technology education that address standards, change teacher practice, and increase the capacity of the engineering/technology education community to do research.

工程为所有项目创建，测试和修改两个六周的原型模块为中学技术教育类，使用统一的主题和重要的社会背景的食物和水。 这些模块采用工程设计作为核心教学法，并整合了大学和职业准备标准的内容和实践。 嵌入式评估的开发和测试，使学生的学习可见的教师和学生。 有限的一组教师的专业发展是用来增加他们的工程设计知识和测试仪器正在开发测量（a）学生和教师的能力，采用知情的设计实践和（B）教师设计教学内容的知识。 项目领导在创建工程和技术材料以及为教师提供专业发展方面经验丰富。 评估和工具是由教育研究人员创建的。 咨询委员会包括工程师、科学和工程教育工作者以及教育研究人员，负责指导模块、评估和工具的开发。 外部评价员审查方案及其实施情况。 该项目有可能为工程/技术教育提供示范性材料和评估，解决标准，改变教师的做法，并提高工程/技术教育界的研究能力。
