This engineering education research project seeks to understand different mechanisms of integrating engineering content and standards into K-12 classrooms. The project will use a mixed methods design incorporating multiple case studies and data sources to elucidate the strategies teachers use and the obstacles they encounter in addressing engineering standards in the K-12 classroom. The project seeks to provide theoretical understanding of various methods of integrating engineering content into classrooms by working closely with teachers in custom-designed teaching laboratories.The broader significance and importance of this project are to understand various ways of integrating STEM content into K-12 classrooms and thus potentially broaden the pipeline into college STEM programs and STEM careers. As more states integrate engineering into K-12 content and standards, this study which will elucidate effective means to support this integration has potentially broad impact. The projects rigorous focus on a diverse cross-section of schools may help to make the results broadly generalizable.

这个工程教育研究项目旨在了解将工程内容和标准整合到K-12教室的不同机制。 该项目将采用混合方法设计，结合多个案例研究和数据源，以阐明教师使用的策略和他们在K-12课堂上解决工程标准时遇到的障碍。 该项目旨在通过与定制设计的教学实验室中的教师密切合作，提供将工程内容融入课堂的各种方法的理论理解。该项目更广泛的意义和重要性在于了解将STEM内容融入K-12课堂的各种方法，从而潜在地拓宽进入大学STEM课程和STEM职业的渠道。 随着越来越多的州将工程纳入K-12内容和标准，这项研究将阐明支持这种整合的有效手段，具有潜在的广泛影响。 该项目严格侧重于不同的学校，这可能有助于使结果具有广泛的普遍性。
