Custom K-12 Engineering by Dr. Ann P. McMahon

What My Teacher Participants Are Saying

"In my 20 years of teaching, I constantly seek to improve student learning through my methods & practices. After huge numbers of workshops & classes I honestly take away more from this workshop than anything I have experienced. The designing & creating for ourselves – this was powerful. Thank you. This workshop helps a great deal."

"I felt this course was very intense. I really never had a good grasp as to what engineering was or what engineers did, so I was not effectively implementing the engineering strand of STEM in my classroom. It’s easy to see how “married” engineering is to science and to technology, but to understand the process has been enlightening."

"I feel like I have a much clearer picture as to what an engineer is."

"I’m excited about implementing my unit in my classroom this fall. I learned to look at my lesson plans through an engineer’s lens. Excited about sharing that with students."

"Ann, thank you for the experience and ideas you have provided to me as an educator. I appreciate the time, energy and effort you have put into teaching and helping me become a better teacher."

"As I finalized my unit today, I felt really good about my accomplishments and I know that by going through this process, I am now in a better position to empathize with my students as they meet similar challenges."

"I am here to learn about the future of science education and engineering's role in my classroom. I am leaving with a solid understanding of the engineering process and much more."

"The fact that you had so much experience behind you and that you shared your expertise and also a personal side – personal stories, talking one-on-one with each of us."

"Thank you for a great class. It definitely made it much easier to integrate the "E" in STEM in our lessons. We will use the lesson we created and many of the ideas and links from other participants. I also really appreciated seeing the different design process models. It helped to retain the theories to see them modified by different groups."
