Engineering Integration Professional Development Workshop

August 14-15, 2019

Professional development workshop for NextGen-WA Implementation teams on developing engineering integration activities for university courses. Held at Central Washington University, Ellensburg, WA. Lead by Ann McMahon (UW-Bothell), Patrick Burnell (Whatcom Community College), and Jennifer Dechaine (Central Washington University).

The two goals of the workshop were to:

  • Introduce participants to NGSS-aligned engineering integration, including key references
  • Provide the tools and expert consultant support for participants to draft an engineering integration activity for their own university course

In addition to the leaders, this workshop was attended by:

  • Central Washington University, faculty: Timothy Sorey, Arthur Morken, Mark Oursland, Anne Egger, and Adriano Cavalcanti
  • Washington State University-Tri Cities, faculty: Judy Morrison
  • Washington State University-Vancouver, faculty: Mike Berger
  • Eastern Washington University, faculty: Katherine Baldwin
  • Sultan School District K-8 teacher: Kelli Fischer
