Kummler, FESD ESD Publications Committee Chair; Dean, College of Engineering, Wayne State University The April–May issue of Technology Century is traditionally devoted to engineering outreach to the K–12 community. It is a tremendous tribute to our Michigan universities, foundations, and industrial partners that create special educational opportunities each summer to allow middle and high school students to visit and participate in universityled programs. ESD is deservedly proud of its premier role in the Future City Competition and even prouder of the accomplishments of the students entering regional and national competitions that are under ESD's auspices. This issue recaps the winners, mentors, and teachers who participated. This April–May issue also includes a brief overview of the Wayne StateCarolina MINDSET program designed to provide a senior-level, innovative math curriculum that makes math relevant (especially to industrial engineering), comprehensible, and engaging for students. The program is funded by a $3 million National Science Foundation grant that will aid in developing a curriculum for use by hundreds of schools in North Carolina and Michigan over the next few years. Math teachers in Michigan who want to get involved are invited to contact Professor Ken Chelst at kchelst@wayne.edu. This issue is a keeper! Please pass it on to colleagues with prospective engineering children. www.esd.org | The Engineering Society of Detroit | 3 2008 Summer Youth PROGRAMS ... where college begins!

ESD PRESIDENT’s MESSAGE | April–May 2008 Nurturing the Next Generation ostering excitement in math and science to produce tomorrow’s engineers, scientists, and allied professionals is a primary objective of The Engineering Society of Detroit. To be most effective, those efforts have to be conducted with young people at an age earlier then many of us would expect. According to cognitive development research, youngsters in middle adolescence—11 and 12 years old—are beginning to make career decisions. A second study says that only 30 percent of students taking math and science classes in the 9th grade are still taking them in the 12th grade. If we want to increase the number of engineers and scientists graduating from our universities, we need to make a greater impact when it matters the most—in middle school. Consequently, ESD has developed a series of educational outreach activities geared toward those students. The Society’s cornerstone event is the annual ESD Michigan Regional Future City Competition. Conducted in January, more than 1,200 seventh and eighth graders, their teachers, and engineer mentors got together to showcase ideas for cities of the future. Nanotechnology was the theme for this year’s competition, and all of the cities incorporated highly creative uses of that technology. One city was located in Siberia in the year 2278. To combat the frigid temperatures, it was encased in a Plexiglas dome lined with nanotubes filled with pulsating electrons to control the temperature. Another city used hydroponic and hyperbaric technology in greenhouses equipped with nanosensors to avoid acid rain and grow healthy food. A third used a ventilation system equipped with nanobiofiber filters to spin air at supersonic speeds to remove pollutants. When we give young minds a blank sheet of paper and ask them to tell us how they think we should be living in the 22nd century, the results are pretty amazing. The Future City program is designed to give young people realworld, hands-on experiences of how math and science translate into the day-to-day work of engineers. They then take those ideas and incorporate them into what they envision cities of the future will look like. It’s quite We need to make a greater impact where it matters most—in middle school. a sight to see these students standing in front of their model cities talking about what will be important in the next century. This issue of Technology Century highlights ESD activities that “foster excitement.” In talking to members who serve as mentors and judges for the Future City program, you get the sense that the inspiration is a two-way street. The engineers are amazed and feel confident that the message is getting through. This magazine also includes a list of summer camps for parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles to use as a resource for the development of tomorrow’s engineers, scientists and allied professionals. Read, enjoy, and do your part to nurture the next generation. Sincerely, Richard J.

SPONSORS: 2008 ESD Michigan Regional Future City Competition The team from Pulaski Elementary/Middle School, Detroit. utside your window is a world of green spaces and neatly stacked houses. Outside the window of a middle school student the world looks quite different—at least it will in the year 2150 and beyond. On Tuesday, January 21, more than 40 teams participated in the annual Michigan Regional Future City Competition—each hoping to walk away the winner. Ultimately, it was the team from Royal Oak Middle School (formerly known as Hellen Keller Middle School) which, for the second year in a row, clutched the winning trophy for its model of Nexus for their model of Nexus—a city in Alaska made of dome-like structures infused with protective barriers. Future City is designed to spark students’ interest in math, science, and engineering and challenge them to apply concepts to real-world solutions. Under the guidance of ESD-assigned engineer mentors, participating teams were required to design a futuristic city, build a scale model using recycled materials, write an abstract and an essay, and give a presentation to a panel of engineer judges.

Goals of teaching 21st Century Skills cience, technology, and engineering have transformed life in the 21st century. If Rip van Winkle woke up from his centuries’ long slumber in downtown Detroit today, you can imagine how wide-eyed and befuddled he would be with the new-fangled cars, jet planes, neon signs, TVs, computer screens, cell phones, shopping malls, infrared-sensor bathrooms. There might be one place, though, that he would find familiar and feel quite at home in our school classrooms. Surrounded by the neat rows of desks, writing board, books, maps, and pictures on the wall, van Winkle would be comforted that things haven’t changed much since he was in school. He would get a kick out of students zipping by on skateboards and bikes, donned with backpacks, LED-flashing shoes, cell phones, and ear-plugged iPods. They would be more than happy to help him get up to speed on life in the 21st century once he got the hang of today’s kid-speak: “Just check out my blog, Rip!” It’s pretty clear that kids today are demanding that “Rip van Winkle” schools zip into the 21st century as soon as possible. It’s also getting clear that we must commit to preparing children for their future, not ours. So what are the skills students will need for a successful life in the 21st century? How can they best learn these? And more importantly, how will we engineer the future of learning so that children everywhere will be successful in learning and life? OVER THE RAINBOW OF 21st CENTURY SKILLS The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (www.21stcenturyskills.org), a powerful U.S. coalition of education, business, government, and nonprofit organizations, has collectively constructed a compelling model of what the next generation of learning needs to look like (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). There are two parts to this model (Fig. 1): the “rainbow” and the “pools.” The rainbow represents the essential skills and knowledge that all students need now, and the pools represent the key components of the education system needed to deliver and support the learning goals in the rainbow above. Reading, writing, arithmetic, and all the other basic school subjects are still here. These core subjects are joined by today’s pressing, cross-subject themes like global awareness, health and environmental sustainability, basic financial and business literacy, and civic responsibility. Where this model significantly departs from 20th century learning is in the emphasis on three sets of skills the flatter and globally competitive world is especially looking for these days. These new skills are grouped into three categories (Fig. 2). Interestingly, these three sets of skills are becoming hard to find in graduates of the U.S. education system. In a survey of more than 400 top employers titled “Are They Really Ready to Work?,” the resounding answer was “Not really!” Only a few of the essential skills listed above, like information www.esd.org | The Engineering Society of Detroit | 25 technology skills, commonly reach the proficiency bar among most high school and college graduates. With a more connected and global pool of workers, employers are doing what they can to secure these skills in the global marketplace, especially from places where there’s a lower labor price tag included. The Detroit region is no stranger to these results with an explosion of outsourcing, offshoring, and outplacing. So what can be done to homegrow these skills and not lose America’s competitive edge in the world? 21st Century Skills Learning and Innovation Skills •• Creativity and innovation •• Critical thinking and problem solving •• Communication and collaboration Information, Media, and Technology Skills •• Information literacy •• Media literacy •• ICT literacy CYCLING INTO 21st CENTURY LEARNING “Everyone turn to page 63 of your textbook, read the article about ‘collaboration’, and answer the questions at the back of the chapter. We’ll have a multiple-choice quiz on it tomorrow.” Sound like a highly motivating and effective way to learn a new skill? Not really. Fortunately, there are much better, proven ways to engage America’s “digital native” students to learn 21st century skills. One method in particular is called “21st Century Project Life and Career Skills •• Flexibility and adaptability •• Initiative and self-direction •• Social and cross-cultural skills •• Productivity and accountability •• Leadership and responsibility Fig. 2. 21st Century Skills that will support the learning framework Define Goal-Setting Problem Question Issue or Challenge Teaming and Knowledge Reflection Review and Evaluating Presenting Fig. 3.

Students demonstrate their project at a ThinkQuest Competition. Learning” (Fig. 3). This method is based on a “Define, Plan, Do, Review, and Manage through” project cycle, very familiar to engineers and project managers, though the language has been simplified for K-12 students. The components that motivate and drive this style of learning are: •• Relevant and compelling questions, problems, issues, and challenges; •• Teamwork and collaboration; •• Rich research, analysis, writing, and illustrating using media and technology to power both the learning and packaging of what was learned; and •• The excitement of presenting the team’s creative answers, solutions, positions, or results to others, including parents, community members, and even experts on the topic What does a compelling 21st century learning project look like? Two great examples are the Future City project and the ThinkQuest International Competition. The mission of National Engineers Week and Future City Competition is to “provide a fun and exciting educational engineering program for seventh- and eighth-grade students that combines a stimulating engineering challenge with a ‘hands-on’ application to present their vision of a city of the future.” During the ThinkQuest International Competition, run by the Oracle Education Foundation, students in global teams create the world’s best learning Web sites on a topic of their choice. These Web sites then join the more than 6,500 learning resources in the ThinkQuest library, which millions of students and teachers use every day. The time has come to help all students have these kinds of engaging, creative, memorable, and highly motivating learning projects so they will truly be ready for the challenges of the future. Bernie Trilling is Global Director for the Oracle Education Foundation, directing the development of education strategies, partnerships, and services for the Foundation’s Think.com and ThinkQuest programs. Prior to joining Oracle, Mr. Trilling was a Director for the Technology In Education group at WestEd, a U.S. educational laboratory. www.esd.org | The Engineering Society of Detroit | 27 KIDS Engineering and Science Programs for 28 | Technology Century | APRIL–MAY 2008 If your young one is: Crazy about creepy crawlies Excited about exploring Fired up to fly Geared up about video games Raving about robots Smitten with stethoscopes Then: We invite you to check out our comprehensive guide to summer science and engineering camps throughout Michigan.

High School Math You Might Like? S tudents who shudder at the mention of calculus may soon have a more exciting alternative as fourth-year math requirements are introduced into American high schools. A $3 million National Science Foundation grant to researchers at Wayne State University, North Carolina State, and the University of North Carolina-Charlotte will fund development, testing, and implementation of an innovative math curriculum. The five-year project, called Mathematics Instruction using Decision Science and Engineering Tools (MINDSET), is a result of a push by universities and state departments of education to boost poor proficiency skills among American students. The MINDSET curriculum presents hypothetical yet common business challenges, compelling students to employ MINDSET principles that might involve designing school bus routes, finding the best location for a new recreation center, and more. In the project’s first two years, researchers will develop the material, a textbook, and curriculum for the new course. In the third year, pilot testing will occur in five schools in North Carolina and five in Michigan. Testing will expand to 15 schools in each state in the fourth year. In the fifth year, formal testing of the course and its curriculum will be done in a total of 50 North Carolina and Michigan high schools. Along with the development of material, teachers will need to be trained to teach this new type of curriculum.

I’ve been here for 31 years. I’ve taught every grade from preschool all the way to adults. I graduated from Madonna University with a bachelor’s degree and have been teaching science all 31 years at different levels; science has been something I have always levitated toward. What or who inspired you to become a teacher? My second grade teacher inspired me. When I was a little girl she used to stand in front of the class wearing high heels and as she taught she would rock on her heels. One day, as she was teaching, one of her heels broke, but she kept teaching like nothing had happened. How and why did you decide to become involved with Future City? When did you first get involved with the competition? I first got involved in 1989. The former school principal handed me the information and asked me to look into it. After I went to the orientation, I thought it was a lot of fun and something I could do with the eighth grade students. The first competition was held at the Henry Ford Museum and we were very pleased with what we did. One of our parishioners paid for our registration fee and supported us the first few years. You’re the only school that has made Future City part of its curriculum. Why was that important to do? I incorporated it into my eighth grade physical science curriculum because it correlates with the material I teach at this level. I chose to do so because it went along with what I was teaching. Future City is a way to teach kids textbook material without having to use the textbook. It’s also a way of showing them how physical science is really part of real life. The kids who have participated in the competition come back every year and want to know how we did this year. It’s something that has become part of this school. How do you put together a Future City team? Do all your students participate in the competition? My entire eighth grade class participates. The kids who are good with computers take over with assistance from the other kids. They try to work it out as a class and fix the problems. They all break down into groups and choose their own presenters. And when the presenters are working on writing their speeches, the rest of the class is working on the model. They are all involved in one way or another. They come up with a concept on their own and they do it all themselves. I just stand back. Why is it important to have a mentor? It is very important. Even though I am a science teacher, I don’t know everything about engineering and city planning. I need somebody who has more expertise in different areas. Our engineer mentor is very helpful and very valuable to the kids. You won the Michigan Regional Competition in 2004 and many awards since then-what makes your school a winner? I think it’s because the kids have had good role models ahead of them. The eighth grade class before them did well, so they always strive to do just as well. They always want to be that number one team. What is your formula for sparking your students’ interest in math and science? I talk to them about all the really cool things that are out there that are not necessarily in the textbook. I try to get them involved in not only their textbook, but what we’re looking forward to in the future. We also do a lot of hands-on activities. My seventh graders dissect and the six graders do research about endangered species and go on an overnight field trip to Ohio. Is there anything you would change about the Future City Competition? No changes; I’ve done it long enough and I am used to it. The first year was the hardest one. Once you get through it, you realize it’s well designed. The competition day is a lot of fun. The only area that throws us for a loop is the essay topic. Even though engineers write the topic, they must simplify it a little bit more. They should ask more teachers for topic ideas. Any interesting/funny experience you’d like to share from Future City competitions? The first year we won regionals and went to Washington, D.C., the state was hit by a snow storm. They didn’t have snow blowers or shovels to use, so the city shut down. There wasn’t even food delivery to the hotel. But since we are Michiganders, we decided to throw our coats on and go out in search of food. It was interesting to see Washington, D.C., totally shut down. It was a good year and it was fun. What do you like to do when you’re not teaching? When I am not teaching I am a homebody; I like to be home with my husband. We have a cat Turn and we like to visit with friends. Just the page like any normal person-I go home, to find out eat, grade papers, and vegetate. the identity of this engineer. If you I don’t know how long I’ll know an outstanding be a teacher; I just engineer for this Technology enjoy what I do. Century feature, contact editor@esd.org.
