Collaboration in K-12
The third meeting of Engineering and Applied Science societies
committee members and activists in K-12 affairs will take place in
Washington, DC on 15-17 January 1993 at the 8th Annual NASTA meeting.
Sessions will cover:
- learning from current K-12 activities of
other societies;
- presentations on outstanding successes in
preparing teaching materials, courses, and curricula; and
- reports
from ECSEL (Engineering Coalition of Schools for Excellence in
Education and Leadership) on:
- engineering and applied science
courses for the non-scientist engineer population
- role of STS in
engineering education
The meeting is a must for all academic and industrial
engineers and scientists entering the area of K-12 teaching--to add
information to their enthusiasm. The Annual STS conference brings
together the most experienced reformers of both K-12 and college level
education; introducing S/T to the non-professional community. For
