  3. Human Exploration Project (HEP) Summary Curricular units for use at elementary, middle, and high schools. • (2) Elementary School • (4) Middle School • (4) High School

  4. Common Characteristics of Units • Units resonate with the NASA vision. • Units coordinate with the larger system of ITEA educational resources. • Unit content is articulated across grade levels. • Unit context reflects real-world delivery of technological literacy in the classroom. • Units contribute to a broad student understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

  5. Coordinate with EbD™ • Engagement • Exploration • Explanation • Extension • Evaluation

  6. Coordinate with EbD™ • Articulate big ideas consistent with the backwards design educational model. • Incorporate student assessment criteria and rubrics. • Include learning activities with embedded evidence gathering. • Identify and make use of available resources. • Include strategies to teachers for implementation.

  7. HEP I: Energy and Power

  8. HEP II: Transportation

  9. Lunar Plant Growth Chamber Design Challenges

  10. STS-118Design Challenge • Phase I: Design Challenge • Design & Build Track • Design & Evaluate Track • Phase II: Seed Experiment By engineers for future engineers and technologists

  11. The NASA Portal www.nasa.gov/education/plantchallenge Register for Seeds Certificate of Completion Resources

  12. The Partnership with NASA Experts • Begins prior to development. • Continues through the development stage. • Extends to review and revision prior to product approval. By engineers for future engineers and technologists

  13. “The health of the U.S. economy . . . Will depend not only on [science, math, and engineering] professionals but also on a populace that can effectively assimilate a wide range of new tools and technologies.” U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century Report, 2001, p. 39

  14. NASA Centers • New Mexico • New York • Ohio • Texas • Virginia • West Virginia • Alabama • California • District of Columbia • Florida • Maryland

  15. What Is Engineering byDesign™?

  16. + + =

  17. Do We Teach engineering or Engineering? engineering – little “e” – used as a verb to teach all students to think or learn to engineer or use engineering concepts Engineering – big “E” – used as a noun prepare students to be Engineers – career oriented
