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.
