Engineering Educa,on Na,onally <br />
Each year there are now more high school students<br />
enrolled in year‐long (+) engineering programs in<br />
high schools than there are B.S. engineering<br />
graduates in the United States <br />
High school engineering programs will transform<br />
engineering educa,on <br />

Engineering Educa,on in Texas <br />
Texas has taken a lead with the “4 x 4” requirement <br />
Engineering as a fourth‐year science course <br />
270,000 students in grade 12 <br />
18 approved fourth‐year courses (including engineering) <br />
15,000 students per year in Texas engineering courses <br />
How do we develop teacher leaders (in both the long<br />
term and short term) and curricula to support the<br />
emerging field of secondary engineering educa,on? <br />

Pre‐Service Enrollment Sta,s,cs <br />
Due to record enrollment in <br />
the first <strong>UTeach</strong> course in Fall <br />
2009, two addi,onal sec,ons <br />
of the course were added; this <br />
increased <strong>UTeach</strong> program <br />
capacity by 50 percent over <br />
Fall 2008 levels. <br />
14 percent of Fall 2009 <br />
enrollees are physics or <br />
engineering majors, up from <br />
10 percent in Fall 2008. <br />
