Engineering education
Engineering education is the study of engineering systems and technology. The goal of engineering education is to spread Technological Literacy, increase student interest in technical careers and support science and math education through hands-on learning. Engineering education is often taught by and associated with technology education in K-12 schools. (Douglas, Iverson & Kalyandurg, 2004). Engineering education is a part of the STEM initiative in United States public schools. The National Science Foundation is supporting research in Engineering Education through the National Center for Engineering and Technology Education.
