The Engineering byDesign™ Program is built on the belief that the ingenuity of children is untapped, unrealized potential that, when properly motivated, will lead to the next generation of technologists, innovators, designers, and engineers.

The Minnesota Technology and Engineering Educators Association and Saint Cloud State University have formed a consortium to bring the International Engineering and Educators Association “Engineering byDesign” curriculum to Minnesota. As leaders in Technology and Engineering education, MTEEA and SCSU provides a low cost, flexible, Pre K - 12 engineering program for Minnesota schools.

Through Engineering byDesign, we found a program that:

1. Provides a standards-based K-12 program that ensures that all students are technologically literate.

2. Provides opportunities for all students without regard to gender or ethnic origin.

3. Provides leadership and support that will produce continuous improvement and innovation in the program.

4. Provides clear standards and expectations for increasing student achievement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

5. Provides a program that constructs learning from a very early age and culminates in a capstone experience that leads students to become the next generation of engineers, technologists, innovators, and designers.
