Abstract
The future of computer-aided process design hinges on continued recruitment, training, and retention of the next generations of engineers. Many elementary and secondary school programs focused on engineering have made substantial impacts in informing children about careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). A report by the National Academies established three general principles for pre-college engineering education, the first of which is that elementary and secondary engineering education should emphasize engineering design. Curricula focused on teaching the engineering design process have been developed for K-12 students and educators... (ABSTRACT ABBREVIATED)
