Integrating Engineering Into K-6 Curriculum

Key Points

The study aims to explore how integrating engineering into K-6 education can enhance student skills and interest in STEM fields.
Analysis of educational frameworks integrating engineering concepts into K-6 curricula.
Evaluation of student engagement and skill development in relation to engineering activities.
Students showed increased interest in STEM disciplines.
Development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills was observed in integrated engineering activities.

Abstract

The fields of gifted and engineering education share many common interests, and their students share many common attributes. Infusing and making engineering implicit in the K-6 education programs creates opportunities to develop concepts, skills, and habits of the mind that are valuable in all disciplines while providing opportunities to discover and develop talent in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
