Relationship to Education Standards:
- MMS engineers creatively design, test, redesign, and then implement solutions. (Engineering Process)
(The above statement is an MMS adaptation taken from, “Science, Technology, engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education - What Form? What Function?” http://www.currtechintegrations.com/pdf/STEMEducationArticle.pdf)
- MMS engineers use knowledge of science and technology, together with strategies of design, to solve practical problems.
(The above statement is an MMS adaptation of Benchmark [3A/H4** (SFAA)] taken from the ‘Project 2061’s Benchmarks’ (https://www.project2061.org/publications/bsl/online/index.php?home=true). Project 2061’s benchmarks are statements of what all students should know or be able to do in science, mathematics, and technology by the end of grades 2, 5, 8, and 12.)
