Drafting a Blueprint for Educating Tomorrow's Engineers Today
Drafting a Blueprint for Teaching Tomorrow's Engineers Today is a two-year MSP Start-Partnership that is bringing together students, educators, and industry to hold continued conversations to design a clear path that leads to an MSP Targeted Partnership. This partnership will have three goals:
- increase awareness about engineering by the 5,692 middle school students in the Springfield Public Schools;
- improve the knowledge base of approximately 240 future and in-service middle school teachers so that they will have the skills, materials, and enthusiasm to excite their students about engineering; and
- create a fluid and dynamic engineering education pipeline where each level (industry, four year college programs, two year college programs, K-12 schools) informs the preceding level about the skill base needed to ensure success.
