Studded with more than 150 photos of natural phenomena and Nature-inspired technologies, this fascinating and practical book clearly demonstrates that engineering design is broadly relevant for all students, not just those who may become scientists or engineers. Samuel Cord Stier provides activities for students at every grade level to explore design concepts and engage in activities aligned with the design standards of the NGSS and the maker movement. Kids will love seeing how snail-inspired fluid dynamics are built into the design of flexible armour and bulletproof vests, and how ant-and bird-inspired algorithms have transformed video games and robots.
Engineering Education for the Next Generation is a wonderful introduction to the topic for any teacher who wants to understand more about engineering design in particular, and STEM in general.
Sam Stier is Executive Director of The Center for Learning with Nature (www.LearningWithNature.org), a non-profit organization providing STEM curricula and teacher training founded on the captivating power and modern importance of the natural world. Mr. Stier leads teacher trainings for primary, secondary, and post-secondary educators all over the world, workshops for design professionals, and is a sought-after public speaker. A consultant on Nature-inspired technological innovation and author of the award-winning K-12 curriculum Engineering Inspired by Nature, he is a faculty member at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, where he teaches science and sustainable design.
