There has been a great deal of discussion in the past few years about implementing engineering design in K-12 classrooms. Experts from K-12 education, universities, industry, and government officials attended the ASEE leadership workshop on K-12 Engineering Outreach in June of 2004 and came to a consensus on the need to implement engineering in K-12 schools. Many leaders in the field of technology education believe that developing technological literacy in students can be best delivered by teaching engineering design. The use of the engineering design process is stressed throughout "Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study of Technology" (ITEA, 2000/2002/2007), especially Standards 8 through 13. While there may be strong support for teaching engineering concepts to K-12 students, how this knowledge is properly delivered to high school students is still a debatable topic. This article seeks to consider engineering case studies as a logical way to teach the engineering design process to students not commonly familiar with it. Arguments have been made against assigning students to full-scale engineering design problems when they are new to engineering. Often novice engineering students lack the analytical tools necessary for successful development of design solutions to full-sale engineering problems. Introducing engineering design to K-12 students through the employment of design case studies is a logical solution.
