A SENSE OF URGENCY

“…fewer and fewer American students are interested, or able, to enter demanding science and engineering programs.”

• 2006 fraction of foreign undergraduate students:

§ engineering reached 45% § computer science 44% § physical sciences 40%

• 2007 fraction of foreign students receiving doctorates:

§ 62% in engineering § 73% in electrical engineering § 57% in computer science (NSF S&E Indicators, 2010)

THE MARLBOROUGH MODEL

• Increase Access &

Eliminate Barriers

• High Expectations For

ALL

• 9th & 10th Grade

Teaming

• Interdisciplinary PBL
• Connect STEM Through

Engineering

YOUTH CAREERCONNECT

Reform initiative designed to encourage school districts, higher education, workforce investment systems, nonprofits, and other partners to work together to transform the high school experience for America’s youth. Overarching goals:

• Provide education and training that combines academic and

technical curricula focused on a specific in-demand industry or career

• Increase student employability at graduation
• Prepare students for multiple career pathways that include:

employment, post-secondary education, long-term

• ccupational skills training, or Registered Apprenticeship

YCC PROGRAM CORE ELEMENTS

• 1. Integrated Academic and Career-Focused Learning
• 2. Employer Engagement
• 3. Individualized Career and Academic Counseling
• 4. Work-Based Learning and Exposure to the World
• f Work
• 5. Program Sustainability
• 6. Program Performance and Outcomes

Our MAPP program is four years, serving grades 9-12.

Postsecondary Pathways

System Outcomes: Financially sustainable, aligned and integrated 9- 14(+) career pathway systems Increased number

• f skilled workers

with credentials of value to the labor market Greater cost efficiencies by reducing duplication

• f services

Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Framework, Technology/Engineering, Grades 6–8

2.2 Demonstrate methods of representing solutions to a design problem, e.g., sketches, orthographic projections, multiview drawings. 3.2 Identify and explain the appropriate tools, machines, and electronic devices (e.g., drawing tools, computer-aided design, and cameras) used to produce and/or reproduce design solutions (e.g., engineering drawings, prototypes, and reports).

Takeaways

• Product development is at the center of our

human built world

• The product development model allows for

interdisciplinary classroom activities and learning

• The engineering design process is vital to product

development

• Collaboration is an essential element for teachers

and students

• 3D modeling software is THE visualization tool for

professional and consumer communication

Applications

• AT MMS we introduce students to 2D and 3D

computer modeling

• Scaffolding learning from grade 6 through ten

in the STEM program

• 3D modeling leads into 3D printing. MMS is

beginning, MHS has an established program that utilizes 3D printing.
