If you've ever wished for advice you can trust on how to make
science and math more relevant to your middle or high school
students, Creating Engineering Design Challenges is the book for
you. At its core are 13 units grounded in challenge-based learning
and the engineering design process. You can be sure the units are
classroom-ready because they were contributed by teachers who
developed, used, and revised them during the Cincinnati Engineering
Enhanced Math and Science (CEEMS) program, a project funded by the
National Science Foundation. Detailed and practical, the book is
divided into three sections: 1. The rationale for making
engineering an effective part of math and science instruction. 2.
Thirteen engineering-related units, including the
teacher-contributors' detailed accounts, lesson plans, and
handouts. Content areas include biology, chemistry, physical
science, Earth science, and environmental science. Topics range
from developing a recipe for cement to implementing geocaching to
calculating accurate aim with slingshots and water balloons. 3.
Guidance on how to develop, support, and grow your engineering
practice. This section offers useful templates and frameworks for
you as well as professional development guidance for your school.
The contributors' goal is to help you benefit from their hard-won
experience. They write, "During our time with the CEEMS project, we
learned a great deal from our mistakes and our successes, and we
felt it would be important to share what we learned with the hope
that you can build on your own success." Working from their advice,
you can develop a more student-centered classroom culture and
nurture learners who are engaged in real-life engineering
challenges.
