Advancing Excellence in P12 Engineering Education
AEEE
SYMPOSIUM
The Engineers Club in Baltimore Maryland
JUNE 5 - 7, 2019
ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
The Advancing Excellence in P-12 Engineering Education (AEEE) collaborative and the 3rd AEEE Symposium seek to provide two powerful benefits: first, promote collaboration to pursue a vision/direction for P-12 Engineering Education; and second, the development of a coherent content framework for scaffolding the teaching of engineering at the secondary level.
The 3rd AEEE Symposium will specifically focus on the Framework for Engineering Teaching & Learning developed through the first two symposia. During this symposium, participants will hear from national leaders in engineering education, industry, and curriculum development to serve as provocateurs as they examine the engineering classroom experience and reflect on the needs for teacher preparation and development.
We, and our sponsors, hope that this work will serve as a basis for further thought and action to address the paucity and rigor of engineering education at the P-12 level.

Ms. Farmer serves as Director of Precollege Engineering Education Initiatives for the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. As the founding director of the NSF-funded UTeachEngineering program, Ms. Farmer has led the development, launch, and evolution of the Engineer Your World program. Now in its eighth year, Engineer Your World provides a two-year (and expanding) curriculum sequence that integrates computational thinking with hands-on engineering design and problem-solving; teacher professional development and support programs that enable any STEM-literate, constructivist educator to be successful in the classroom; and dual-enrollment opportunities that empower students not just to earn college credit for their work, but also to experience and rise to expectations for college-level coursework at a top school of engineering. With a growing network that now serves 270+ educators and 10,000+ students across 26 states, the District of Columbia, and South Korea, Engineer Your World is committed to expanding opportunities in engineering education for all students, regardless of future career aspirations. In 2012 Ms. Farmer initiated a national effort to develop research-based Standards for Professional Development for K-12 Teachers of Engineering; from 2012 to 2015, she and Dr. Stacy Klein-Gardner of Vanderbilt University co-led this effort that resulted in the publication of the standards by the American Society for Engineering Education. Ms. Farmer is currently a member of the National Academy of Engineering’s panel on building educator capacity in K-12 engineering.
