Abstract The education community has focused attention recently on a number of initiatives to evolve, and perhaps revolutionize, approaches for teaching science, mathematics, and engineering. In this paper, we present a new engineering and design technology program, initiated in 1992 and referred to as DTEACh, that focuses on the elementary grades. Two components comprise this new program: (1) open-ended design and exploration lessons that use hands-on models to teach integrated mathematics and science principles, and (2) a two-part teacher preparation program to provide teachers with the necessary engineering, mathematics, and science fundamentals for DTEACh. In this paper, we focus on a description of the teacher preparation program, including discussions of a novel teaching model, the subject matter for engineering and design fundamentals, and evaluation of the program. Results of the evaluation that teachers are more confident and equipped to facilitate the instruction of mathematics, science, and engineering principles.

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a problem-centered teaching method with exciting potential in engineering education for motivating and enhancing student learning. Implementation of PBL in engineering education has the potential to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Two common problems are encountered when attempting to integrate PBL into the undergraduate engineering classroom:  1) the large time requirement to complete a significant, useful problem and 2) the ability to determine its impact on students. Engineering, mathematics, and science professors at West Texas A&M University (WTAMU) have overcome the large time commitment associated with implementation of PBL in a single course by integrating small components of the larger project into each of their classes and then linking these components with a culminating experience for all the classes. Most of the engineering students were concurrently enrolled in the engineering, mathematics, and science classes and were therefore participating in all activities related to the project. This linked-class PBL experience addressed course concepts, reinforced connections among the courses, and provided real-world applications for the students. Students viewed the experience as beneficial, increasing their understanding of content and applications in each discipline. This paper provides details about implementation and evaluation of one PBL project and how difficulties in evaluation of the linked-class PBL experiences are being addressed.
