Chapters 1–3 provide background information and introduce the particular engineering design process (EDP) used in the Cincinnati Engineering Enhanced Math and Science (CEEMS) program, as well as how the design challenge unit framework connects with current education standards and reforms. In this chapter, design challenge units reflect the needs and demands of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education. They align with and meet national science and mathematics standards and practices. The chapter’s summary highlights “takeaways” teachers need to keep in mind as they start their journey into design challenge units. A list of materials, teacher background information, references, resources, assessments, and standards are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Acknowledgments, Preface, About the Editors and Contributors, Appendix, and Index.
