2005 ASEE Workshop on K-12 Engineering Education
Portland, Oregon
Thank you for joining us in Oregon for the 2005 Workshop on K-12 Engineering Education. The event was a great success! Below, you will find a sampling of the workshop overview and program.
Background:
Engineering Go For It! seeks to promote awareness and knowledge of engineering and technology as a means of advancing achievement in K-12 science and mathematics teaching and learning. Vitally related to national interests ranging from national security to technological innovation to workforce development, K-12 science and mathematics achievement can benefit from contributions by stakeholder organizations in education, government, and industry. The ASEE EngineeringK12 Center works to develop activities and products on which organizations from all these sectors can collaborate as appropriate to their own interests and available resources.
Objective & Goals:
Started with great success in 2004, this workshop is an annual event. It will introduce K-12 educators to engineering and technology education materials that can help them communicate the excitement and relevance of science and mathematics to their students. The workshop’s goals are:
Audience: 250 Portland-area K-12 educators with the potential interest and ability to introduce engineering and technology content into their classrooms; registration is free. In 2004, 140 educators from K-12, higher education, industry, government, and non-profits attended.

Engineering Activities that Work in the K-8 Classroom
Broadway Room In this session, we will share simple, low-cost engineering activities suitable for elementary and middle school classrooms. Participants will try out several activities and leave with a simple "engineering supply kit" materials list to incorporate these activities into their math and/or science instructional time. Pre-Engineering Curriculum Made Easy! The Autodesk Design Academy
Halsey Room These Action Labs will introduce you and your peers to the ADA curriculum, plus answer specific questions about what ADA can do to make your job easier and your students’ learning more fun. In addition get an opportunity to see an exciting presentation of the latest releases of Autodesk Inventor. Come discover a new and affordable way to make math, science, and technology relevant to your students. Integrating Engineering and Technology into the Elementary Classroom
Weidler Room In this session participants will engage in one of the design challenges created by the Engineering is Elementary project. As they design, test, and improve sails for sailboats, they will learn more about the engineering design process and how to integrate engineering and technology concepts with science, math, reading, and social studies.

Oregon Room
This workshop introduces teachers to TeachEngineering, the new, free online library of standards-based curricular units, lessons and activities for teaching math, science, and technology through K-12 engineering. After a brief introduction, teachers will be provided with laptops to familiarize themselves with the site in a guided environment. Teachers will learn how to search for activities by keywords, relevant educational standards, length of activity and a variety of other search criteria. Examples of the projects from this curriculum will be available for viewing. The Infinity Project: Engineering Education for Today's Classroom
