For Authors/Editors

Focus

[edit | edit source]

Focus on engineering science (CDIO), not engineering technology (ISTE). This course is best taught by someone who majored in engineering and worked at least 5 years in the field. Industrial art teachers should stick with Project Lead the Way's (PLTW) Engineering Design and Development (EDD) Capstone Class.

Content Goals

[edit | edit source]

Provide a framework by which general engineering introductions can be assessed. Minimize content. Transition to open ended projects as soon as possible.

Self Paced Learning

[edit | edit source]

Look for content within Wikimedia space that already exists rather than re-create.
