For almost 15 years, CU Boulder and other partners have been developing a one-of-a-kind curricular resource for K-12 educators to teach engineering. The online library is called—you guessed it—TeachEngineering.org, and it offers more than 1,550 free, hands-on, design-focused, classroom-tested lessons aligned with national and state STEM standards. Now, a new partnership with the National Academy of Engineering is expanding opportunities for teachers to collaborate and share advice related to using these hands-on lessons—with the goal to ultimately improve youth STEM education nationwide.

Pushing the boundaries of science requires flexibility. Allowing scientists to follow where their research takes them, even if that is into areas that may seem illogical to some, often is what leads to the most remarkable breakthroughs. For some researchers, this is never an option, as the funding they receive...

Erin Arneson, who’s wrapping up her PhD in civil engineering this year, is studying whether the construction industry is ready for all the residential rebuilding that disasters like this require. She is analyzing data to determine our construction capacity – how many construction workers do we have, and how much stuff they have to build with – for the increased demand following natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires and floods.
