FieldDesign: Engineering Design for Field-Based Applications” provides a dynamic framework for educators to integrate engineering principles with community outside the school, fostering hands-on learning experiences for students.
Designed to align with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Common Core, this resource empowers students to tackle field-based issues using age-appropriate engineering design skills. Through immersive field experiences, students engage with complex problems, applying their knowledge of engineering concepts to propose and test innovative solutions.
This resource equips educators with tools to guide students in constructing meaningful connections between classroom learning and the world around them. Included are vignettes of field-based engineering design projects, offering practical insights for implementation and adaptation in diverse educational contexts. This resource is available in two versions: K-5 and 6-12.
