Engineering Design Process in the Context of K12 STEAM Education PostedJune 14, 2022 UpdatedJune 14, 2022 Posted byHoward Chan https://coricreate.com/blogs/news/engineering-design-process-in-the-context-of-k... by Howard Chan, Co-Founder of CoriSTEAM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, is not simply a list of subjects that are to be taught or kit recipes to follow, but more of an educational approach to teaching and mindset for learning/applying. Although there are several models of implementing a STEAM program, the most commonly applied model is the Engineering Design Process (EDP). Although the EDP is typically used in the professional field, we have formatted the process in the context of K12 education and is now a critical part of NGSS.
