Creating TE Documents • What does it mean to be a contributor? • Website Formatting Requirements • Engineering and K-12 Rubrics • Quality Control Process
What does it mean to become a TE contributor? • Our team teaches you to format your curricula in Word templates for publication • You agree to allow others to freely use your material for educational purposes
What does it mean to become a TE contributor? Prior to publication, • You must classroom-test the curricula • Curricula is peer-reviewed by a teacher and an engineer • Take a look at TE to see what is already published in the collection Curricula must be original work
Website Formatting Requirements • Searchable • Common “look & feel” • Fonts and layout controlled by the website • You specify image placement(such as photos, tables, drawings) • Flexible to incorporate different teaching styles within those requirements More on formatting after lunch…
Ways of Teaching Engineering • We recognize our contributors approach engineering in the K-12 classroom differently • Goal: To accommodate differences while ensuring curricula incorporates engineering • Created categories of engineering activities
TE Engineering Categories • Category 1:Relating science concept to engineering • Category 2:Relating math concept to engineering • Category 3: Engineering analysis or partial design • Category 4: Complete engineering design process Designation required of all activities
Quality Control Process • Submit documents to TeachEngineeringin Word templates • Document(s) sent to reviewer • K-12 Content Review – Teacher uses rubric to ensure quality, readability and usability by teachers • Engineering Review – Engineer or upper-level engineering student uses rubric to evaluate technical content and determine curricular category • Document is accepted, accepted with changes,or rejected (similar to a journal submission) • Final edit of the document is required
