There are both practical and Next Generation Science Standards, the practices of engineering inspirational reasons for including engineering design as an essen- have much in common with the practices of science, although tial element of science education. engineering design has a different purpose and product than We anticipate that the insights gained and interests scientific inquiry.

... By asking questions and solving meaningful problems the science curriculum and of what students can accomplish from through engineering in local contexts (e.g., watershed planning, early school years to high school: medical equipment, instruments for communication for the deaf) , diverse students deepen their science knowledge, come to view In some ways, children are natural engineers.

Students define a solution to a problem using criteria for success and constraints or limits of pos simple problem sible solutions.

Students at this level are expected to use systematic methods to compare different solu tions to see which best meet criteria and constraints, and to test and revise solutions a number of times in order to arrive at an Optimize Develop Use systematic solutions optimal design. processes to Combine parts of iteratively test different solutions and refine a to create new solution solutions Define GRADES 9–12 Attend to a broad range of Engineering design at the high school level engages students in considerations in criteria and complex problems that include issues of social and global sig constraints for nificance.
