In this 3-year project, the Colleges of Engineering and Education at the University of Missouri-Columbia will collaborate with three central Missouri school districts (one small city and two rural), engineering businesses, and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to improve the pedagogy and team-building skills of engineering graduate students, increase the engineering content for G6-9 science and mathematics teachers, and provide opportunities to increase interest in science and mathematics among G6-9 students using hands-on engineering design projects. Intellectual Merit. Engineering and education faculty working together with Fellows and G6-9 science teachers blends content and pedagogy skills for better overall impact on the Fellows' development. This is further emphasized by requiring the Fellows to include a chapter about this outreach activity in their dissertation. Empowerment of the Fellows and development of leadership skills is included by explicitly involving them in decision making; infusion of engineering design into K-12 education, a nationally recognized need, is furthered by the project, using a unique team approach; development of Future Scientists and Engineers Clubs in schools links the proposed activities with curricular ones, enhancing effectiveness and improving sustainability, and; the proposed global connections via distance links adds an important educational dimension to all the activities, for all the participants. Broader Impact. The proposed project will help develop infrastructure for deeper and sustained partnerships, centered on engineering design, among G6-9 science and mathematics educators, higher education, industry, and the department of elementary and secondary education of the state. The prototype resources (for graduate students, teachers, and G6-9 students) developed will be made available to graduate students, middle and secondary science and mathematics teachers, and higher education throughout the region, the state, and the nation, with the expectation that they will utilize them whenever appropriate. Infusion of engineering design projects should also facilitate the development of content-rich and inquiry-based approaches. The graduate students will also benefit from enhanced skills transferable to a variety of occupations. The importance of actively engaging students in design has the potential not only to enrich teaching of science and mathematics, but also to forge connections to daily life by providing approaches to meet other challenges in diverse areas ranging from ecological issues to personal life. The inclusion of women and minorities in all aspects of this program will be stressed.Partial funding for this project is provided by the Directorate for Engineering.

在这个为期三年的项目中，密苏里州哥伦比亚大学的工程和教育学院将与三个中央密苏里州中部学区（一个小城市和两个农村），工程业务以及密苏里州基础教育系合作，以提高教学和团队建设技能，以提高工程学的教师的兴趣，并提高g6-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9-9--9--9-9-9-9-9-- G6-9的学生使用动手工程设计项目。 智力优点。工程和教育教师与研究员和G6-9科学教师一起工作，将内容和教学法融合在一起，以更好地对研究员的发展产生更好的影响。通过要求研究员在论文中包括有关这种外展活动的一章，进一步强调了这一点。赋予研究员的能力和领导技能的发展是通过明确参与决策来包括的； 该项目使用独特的团队方法进一步进一步进一步将工程设计注入K-12教育是一种全国认可的需求。 在学校的未来科学家和工程师俱乐部的发展将拟议活动与课程活动联系起来，提高有效性和提高可持续性，以及；拟议的通过距离链接的全球联系为所有参与者增加了所有活动的重要教育维度。更广泛的影响。 拟议的项目将有助于开发基础设施，以在G6-9科学和数学教育工作者，高等教育，工业界以及国家基础和中学教育系中，以工程设计为中心，以工程设计为中心。开发的原型资源（针对研究生，教师和G6-9学生）将提供给研究生，中学和中学和数学教师，以及整个地区，州和国家的高等教育，并期望他们在适当的情况下使用它们。注入工程设计项目还应促进基于内容丰富和询问的方法的发展。研究生还将受益于可以转移到各种职业的增强技能。积极吸引学生参与设计的重要性不仅具有丰富科学和数学教学的潜力，而且还可以通过提供从生态问题到个人生活的不同领域的其他挑战来实现与日常生活的联系。 将强调妇女和少数民族在该计划的各个方面。该项目的主要资金由工程局提供。
