- eGFI – Engineering Go For It
portal is designed for students to explore and is sponsored by the American Society for Engineering Education .  There is an eGFI portal for teachers where teachers can search lesson plans and activities by grade and topic.  The teacher portal provides links to Web Resources, Special Features, K-12 Education News, Competitions and Contests.  Teachers can subscribe to a newsletter and receive updates on news about engineering for teachers.
- Teach Engineering – Resources K-12 – Standards Based
From the Site: “TeachEngineering is a searchable, web-based digital library collection populated with standards-based engineering curricula for use by K-12 teachers and engineering faculty to make applied science and math come alive through engineering design in K-12 settings. Every lesson and activity is explicitly aligned to the science and/or math educational standards of the state in which it was first developed and classroom tested, as well as to the Common Core Math, Next-Gen Science and ITEEA standards, if they apply. If you are looking for lessons or activities to meet a certain standard, go to Search Educational Standards, find the standard of interest and all aligned lessons and activities will be indicated. “
- Teaching NGSS Through the Media – PBS
From the site: “is a collection of activities and professional development resources drawn from programs such as WGBH’s Design Squad Nation and the Engineering is Elementary® project at the Museum of Science, Boston. These media-based resources illustrate and deepen teachers’ understanding of Next Generation Science Standards and help them bring engineering alive for students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.”
- National Science Digital Library – Standards Based
This resources can be searched by: Education Level, Resource Type, Subject or Standards. Â This resource has standards based K-12 curriculum for engineering.
- Project Lead The Way:
This organization has curriculum for teaching engineering in all four years of high school. Â Generally PLTW requires a district agreement.
- Engineering is Elementary
is developed by the Boston Museum of Science and has curriculum for 1-5 grades in school, 3-5 grades after school and grades 6-8 after school. Their curriculum is developed using a rigorous multi-disciplinary design process. Â The after school programs are often available at no cost and have professional videos to support them.
- Mechanical Dissection
can be used to teach students about engineering. Â This description is from Stanford University. The main idea is that students take some technology apart and try to reverse engineer the object to determine how it works. Students make drawings and document their process.
