The K-12 Engineering and Pre-College Outreach Division seeks papers for the 2010 ASEE Annual Conference. This division provides a forum where programs, outreach, materials, and research concerned with increasing engineering and technological literacy of K-12 students and teachers are shared and discussed. We invite papers that focus on K-12 engineering and technology education efforts related to curriculum; educational research; pedagogical methods; outreach, particularly those efforts that might contribute to greater diversity and access; engineering and technology teacher preparation and professional development; partnerships between universities, primary and secondary schools, industry and/or informal educational settings; awareness among stakeholders including teachers, principals, guidance counselors, parents and program coordinators; and policy development. Papers authored collaboratively between engineering and technology education faculty, industry, outreach partners, and K-12 teachers are encouraged. Papers should report the results of research or outcomes assessment.
