The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)* call for students to use the practices, concepts and content of science and engineering to understand phenomena and solve problems that are relevant to their lives. Starting from a student’s own experiences and community makes the science meaningful and increases engagement while helping students understand how global issues like climate change are present and addressable in their lives. In this series we examine how you can use the new science standards and your community to understand and address real world environmental problems and explore together how to integrate NGSS into your district’s classroom science units.How does engineering relate to solving problems in your community? Learn how IslandWood is using the engineering design process to help students investigate local stormwater problems, seek stakeholder input, and develop solutions. Explore what is involved in putting student ideas into action including possible real-world constraints, practical small-scale solutions potential partners, and mini-grant options. We’ll work together to figure out a plan for the topics and students you teach.

The engineer of the year 2020 and beyond will require an increasingly broad set of technical and business skills. Today's technical environment already spans from product development to design to planning for manufacture to manufacture to qualification to marketing and to maintenance of a product. In the future, engineers will also address business requirements to include: marketing, capital equipment justification and procurement, pricing and capitalization. In general, engineers of the future will provide many of the business and technical integration requirements linking engineering and business. Our focus and presentation of the technologies of engineering will strongly be skewed toward how these activities fit into the manufacturing of a product but also with emphasis of design and planning for manufacturing. Integration (both functional where design is linked to manufacturing and informational where data is available to everybody) is key to future engineering success. Our presentation of materials in this repository will be directed toward this vision.
