Culturally-Relevant Engineering Applications in Mathematics
This project uses culturally-relevant engineering applications in mathematics to energize graduate students, K-12 teachers and students, and university faculty to reform mathematics education and heighten engineering career aspirations.
Teachers with graduate student mentors facilitate pedagogically sound, student-centered, engineering projects in which K-12 students create engineering solutions to local socially-important problems while achieving classroom objectives and state mathematics standards. Diverse and distant students and teachers connected by video-conferencing technology form learning communities to improve teaching, learning, and understanding of engineering.
