The Museum offers P-credit courses as part of the NYC Department of Education's After School Professional Development Program (ASPDP). These courses apply toward teachers' salary differential +30 requirement.
An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Engineering Design Process
Credits: 1 P-Credit
Length: 2 days
Dates: October 13, 2018 and November 17, 2018
With a collection of engineering innovations, the Museum provides a unique learning environment for teachers to explore the engineering design process. Using an interdisciplinary approach that incorporates the Museum’s exhibits, the course will examine ship design, advances in aircraft technology and design innovations in space science. Working through a series of design challenges, teachers will discuss the engineering design process as it relates to these fields as well as ways to bring this method of thinking into their teaching practice. Though the course is based on Museum content, it will build universal skills that can be applied in the classroom. Teachers will complete an engineering design challenge in their classrooms between the first and second session and will submit a final project on Monday, November 26.
