Engineering/Technology Curriculum Development for High School Engineering/Technology Curriculum Development for High School: An Electrical Engineering Perspective

Presentation Outline Introduction Current Status Reasons Change and Motivation Proposal for change Conclusion Future outlook

Introduction “ Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind ” Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology Study Experience Practice

Current Status Recent Technology Development Increase of Science & Technology job market Global decline of engineering students Level of students in Math & Science Quality engineers ◦ Problem-solving skills ◦ Critical thinking ◦ Innovators, ◦ Inventors

Current Status – Engineering Graduates UNESCO Low Engineering Graduates Low Female Engineering Graduates

Current Status – HCT Eng. enrollment Slow increase in HCT Engineering Enrollment compared to business

Current Status – Female Graduates HCT Engineering Female Graduates

Conjectured Reasons Conjectured Reasons High school preparation in Math and Physics Lack of exposure to engineering Lack of understanding of what engineers do. Lack of understanding of the impact of engineering on society Unaware of career opportunities in engineering Engineers are rarely represented in TV shows or movies (exception: Ben Affleck in Paycheck)!

The Change ? Will the introduction of Engineering and Technology principles and applications at an early stage e.g. secondary school help change the current status?

The Outreach Initiative Outreach Engineering Program Assess students’ interest, attitude performance before & after. schools higher education institutions industry Partnership

Outreach Program Young Emirati Engineer (YEE) ◦ To attract, motivate, stimulate, and educate young students to become engineers ◦ Introduce engineering and technology principles and applications to secondary school classrooms. ◦ Prepare students for the challenges of a high tech society. ◦ Improve math and science education and align secondary school education systems to engineering education ◦ Attract girls to engineering

Outreach Program Quality Engineer

Existing Outreach Programs? UAE – Masdar University ◦ Launched in Dec 2009 ◦ Focuses on Energy USA ◦ Project Lead The Way (PLTW) focuses on in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) for high school.

Elements of the Outreach program

Outreach program Curriculum Design Communication skills Reports, graphs tables, equations English Technologies Expectations Skills of research & inquiry Society and environment Health & safety

Project Based learning Project Based learning Teachable by high school students Outreach program Curriculum Characteristics Rigorous, Relevant Demo Classes Hands on inquiry Practical exercises, Practical exercises, Interactive engineering

Outreach program - Curriculum Engineers are Problem Solvers Emphasis on Scientific Investigation, Enquiry & Critical Thinking Formulating questions Researching Analyzing Communication skills

Outreach program - Curriculum Story Line Society & Environment Communication Research Analysis Problem Design

Outreach program - Curriculum Developing the scientific attitude of Inquiry and critical thinking

Outreach program

Conclusion Introduce Engineering to High School Suggested Outreach Program Focus on Project Based learning

Future Outlook Adopt Engineering Curriculum in High Schools
