This innovative project, E3: Excellence in Engineering Education-A Workshops Series for School Administrators, carried out by Stony Brook University (SBU) will broaden participation in engineering and facilitate implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in K-12 school districts in New York City and on Long Island, with a focus on grades 6-12 and on high needs settings. The project team will create, implement, investigate and evaluate a workshops series for school administrators that will increase passion, competence and engagement for engineering, a profession that contributes to social and economic mobility. The proposed E3 workshops will engage district administrators in building awareness and knowledge in engineering to support the unique needs of pre-college students, particularly those from populations traditionally underrepresented. E3 will offer a total of eight workshops that will span two academic years. The primary mechanism will be a series of annual professional development workshops, two for school district leadership (superintendents/assistant superintendents and principals), and two for district/school science directors; each type of workshop will be held on both Long Island and in New York City to maximize participation. The workshops series is unique and innovative because it focuses on two documented weaknesses in the engineering education gateway: 1) the lack of engineering instruction in pre-college education, and 2) chronic socioeconomic disparities in engineering participation.The proposed E3 workshops series will advance knowledge in engineering education, facilitating the implementation of the NGSS as the project team organizes, provides, and evaluates professional development for school leaders in grade 6-12 settings, particularly those in high needs schools. The workshops are unique as they will include strategies for NGSS adoption for administrators, whose acquired skills and knowledge will impact students, counselors, and teachers. A rigorous research plan and evaluation will measure outcomes, providing data related to the participants as well as school-level practices. E3 will result into a replicable and scalable model to promote engineering and NGSS implementation in regional schools.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个创新项目 E3：卓越工程教育 - 学校管理人员研讨会系列由石溪大学 (SBU) 开展，将扩大工程参与范围，并促进纽约市和长岛 K-12 学区实施下一代科学标准 (NGSS)，重点关注 6-12 年级和高需求环境。该项目团队将为学校管理人员创建、实施、调查和评估一系列研讨会，以提高工程这一有助于社会和经济流动性的职业的热情、能力和参与度。 拟议的 E3 研讨会将让地区管理人员参与培养工程意识和知识，以支持大学预科学生的独特需求，特别是那些传统上代表性不足的群体。 E3 将提供总共八场研讨会，为期两个学年。 主要机制将是一系列年度专业发展研讨会，其中两次针对学区领导（主管/助理主管和校长），两次针对学区/学校科学主任；每种类型的研讨会都将在长岛和纽约市举行，以最大限度地提高参与度。该研讨会系列是独特和创新的，因为它重点关注工程教育门户中的两个已记录的弱点：1）大学预科教育中缺乏工程指导，2）工程参与方面长期存在的社会经济差异。拟议的 E3 研讨会系列将推进工程教育知识，在项目团队组织、提供和评估学校领导年级的专业发展时，促进 NGSS 的实施 6-12 年级的环境，特别是高需求学校的环境。 这些研讨会的独特之处在于，它们将包括管理人员采用 NGSS 的策略，他们所获得的技能和知识将影响学生、辅导员和教师。严格的研究计划和评估将衡量结果，提供与参与者以及学校层面实践相关的数据。 E3 将形成一个可复制和可扩展的模型，以促进工程和 NGSS 在地区学校的实施。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
