SEM 708 will introduce students to the field of engineering and give them the opportunity to explore engineering concepts, engineering design, different fields of engineering, engineering curricular materials for K12 students, research on including engineering in K12 education, and assessments necessary in designing and developing research-based, interdisciplinary, engineering-design curricula for K12 students and teachers. In SEM 708 students will experience, evaluate, and design interdisciplinary, engineering design-based curricula to be used within STEM classrooms.
