Articulated credit between EbD and Engineering Tech programs – NSF funded
Also NSF Funded:  Soft Robotics (Purdue) and Engineering for All (Hofstra)
Consortium membership – the most affordable way to get I-STEM content
Tennessee – there are 1811 schools – cost would be $11.04 per school for all courses K-12
Network Schools get priority access to the online system called EbD-BUZZ
Schools in all states can join the Network for an annual fee (per course)
Schools can also pair the EbD-Network subscription with STEM School Membership with a big discount.
Curriculum Partners – working with WhiteBox Learning, LittleBits, BirdBrain and others to enhance deliverables for Consortia members.

Engaging in Meaningful Partnerships
“After mutual respect and understanding are achieved, it is possible to establish real, sincere relationships, which is the foundation of a solid long-term collaboration.” - Ron Garan
DO WE TEACH engineering or ENGINEERING?
This is an important concept for the participants to understand. Engineering byDesign™ is clearly about the little “e” – used as a verb “use engineering concepts”. The VERY IMPORTANT concept on this slide is that
EbD™ or engineering with a little “e” is for ALL students
Engineering is for a limited audience (not everyone in the world is an Engineer)
If we do the little “e” (EbD™) correctly, then it is true that we will be preparing students for the BIG “E”.
