Engineering is Elementary

What is the Engineering is Elementary Program?Fun, challenging activities that increase student interest and participation. Students discover a new fascination with engineering and technology.

What Does A Typical Engineer Do? Engineers are problem solvers, organizers, communicators, calculators and designers. They are capable of clearly defining a problem and its relevant constraints (such as time, cost, etc.) and providing a simple solution.

Research Says... Engineering is Elementary (EiE) integrates science, literacy, math, and social studies. It can help satisfy Common Core science standards. Hands-on, minds-on work with real engineering practices promotes the invaluable 21st-century skills of critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity. (

EiE has a Research-based Curriculum Engineering is Elementary® is a research- based, classroom-tested curriculum.. EiE engages elementary students in hands-on, real-world engineering challenges and coordinates with state and national STEM standards EiE was one of the first programs chosen by Change the Equation as part of President Obama’s “Educate to Innovate” campaign.

EiE Integrates With Other Subject Areas Literacy Each EiE unit begins with a storybook. The corresponding lesson includes comprehension questions, vocabulary handouts, and opportunities for students to practice their writing skills. Social Studies EiE storybooks are set in different countries around the world, featuring children of different ethnic backgrounds. Connections are made to geography, as well as the local culture and language of the book’s setting.

Mathematics As students collect data and work through their engineering design challenge, they utilize mathematical skills and concepts. In addition, EiE Content Connections include lessons that explicitly connect every EiE unit to the Common Core Mathematics Standards.

Why introduce children to engineering in elementary school? Engineering projects integrate other disciplines. Engineering fosters problem-solving skills. Children are fascinated with building and with taking things apart to see how they work. Engineering and technological literacy are necessary in the 21st century.

EiE Students in the News NC State engineering students helped bring engineering to life for younger students during the Wolfpack Robot Rumble on Dec. 12, (Engineering Communications)

EiE in the News The Engineering is Elementary program promotes science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts. Bringing Engineering to Life in the Classroom Raytheon Company has announced the recipients of the 2013 Raytheon-Engineering is Elementary® (EiE) Teacher Scholarship Program. The 32 elementary school teachers from across the nation received awards of $2,500 each to support the implementation of EiE, an innovative engineering curriculum, in their classrooms. One of the 2013 Raytheon-Engineering is Elementary Teacher Scholarship recipients is: Christy Huff, Joe Toler - Oak Hill Elementary, Oxford, N.C.

National Magazine Features EiE Discover Magazine: The latest in science and technology news, blogs and articles A story in the December issue of the science magazine Discover looks at the state of engineering education in America, featuring the research and curriculum work we're doing here at EiE.

EiE “EiE is an excellent inquiry-based STEM curriculum that teaches students thinking and reasoning skills needed for success. Built around the engineering design process, EiE teaches kids how to solve problems systematically... creating skills, optimism, and attitudes important for their futures. Life is not multiple choice.” Laura J. Bottomley, Ph.D, Director, The Engineering Place North Carolina State University
