American Society for Engineering Education

K-12 & Pre-College Engineering Division


Promotes engineering thinking and practice in formal and informal educational settings for pre-K through high school aged students, their teachers, group leaders, and caregivers. We also engage in shared scholarship to determine better ways to accomplish our goals, assess our impacts, and evaluate our progress.  We seek to open the doors to engineering to all young people as a future career or as a way of finding solutions to everyday challenges.  

The Division strives to provide a focus for development of innovative K-12 engineering education curricula and delivery approaches and a forum for the presentation and sharing of K-12 engineering educational initiatives and methods; create a vital community engaged in K-12 engineering initiatives; encourage the professional development of teachers in K-12 engineering education methodologies; increase awareness and participation of university faculty and industrial educators/partners in K-12 engineering initiatives; promote engineering as the context to integrate science and mathematics with all subjects in the K-12 setting; encourage the participation of K-12 educators in the creation and delivery of K-12 engineering content; and, synthesize and broadly disseminate lessons learned.
