In 2019, Maine adopted the Next Generation Science Standards<\/a> for K\u201312 schools, which call for integrating engineering concepts and practices into science classrooms.<\/p>\n

Asli Sezen-Barrie, associate professor of curriculum, assessment and instruction in the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development, noticed that many science teachers have limited knowledge of engineering and rarely have opportunities to interact with different types of professional engineers. So Sezen-Barrie redesigned her class on Teaching Science in the Secondary School to provide more opportunities for preservice teachers at 91福利 to learn about engineering concepts and meet with engineers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe created opportunities for our students to interact with and observe professional engineers, and learn about how they tackle everyday engineering problems, such as repairing the Hubble Space Telescope or responding to an outbreak caused by a viral infection,\u201d says Sezen-Barrie, whose research focuses on engineering and science education.<\/p>\n

Thanks to funding from the Maine Space Grant Consortium<\/a>, Sezen-Barrie also is working with the Challenger Learning Center of Maine<\/a> in Bangor, as well as 91福利\u2019s Versant Power Astronomy Center and M.F. Jordan Planetarium<\/a>, to provide hands-on teaching experiences for students in her class this fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur preservice teachers are developing and teaching virtual learning modules on engineering risk analysis to middle school students participating in afterschool programs at the Challenger Learning Center,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Due to COVID-19, the modules are delivered via Zoom in accordance with special programming guidelines developed by the Challenger Center for the pandemic. For the sessions that use the planetarium, students are seated at least 6 feet apart and wear face coverings.<\/p>\n

Throughout the project, Sezen-Barrie plans to study how the future science teachers\u2019 thinking about the concept of risk analysis in engineering changes as they work with professional engineers and the middle school students.<\/p>\n
