K-12 Engineering- A Review(2009)(pdf):
The Bridge-National Academy of Engineering


      The Status and Nature of K–12 Engineering Education
      in the United States
-Linda Katehi, Greg Pearson, and Michael Feder
      K–12 engineering education has significant implications for
      the future of STEM education.

       11 Engineering Is Elementary
      Christine M. Cunningham
      Engineering activities tap into the natural curiosity and
      creativity of all children.

      18 Professional Development for Teachers of Engineering:
       Research and Related Activities

       Rodney L. Custer and Jenny L. Daugherty
       Very few K–12 teachers are prepared to teach engineering.

       25 The Incorporation of Technology/Engineering Concepts
       into Academic Standards in Massachusetts: A Case Study

       Jacob Foster
       Experience with engineering in K–12 classrooms in
       Massachusetts has become a reference point for other states.

       32 How Kids Learn Engineering: The Cognitive Science
       Christian D. Schunn

       Researchers are investigating how and when children can
       learn engineering concepts and skills.

       38 EngineerGirl! A Website to Interest Girls in Engineering
       Suzanne Jenniches and Catherine Didion
       Providing opportunities for girls to learn about engineering
       can eventually increase diversity in the engineering
       workforce.
