Evaluative studies have found that incorporating engineering in science teaching delivers positive impacts on students and teachers. An EU-funded project thus built on a successful programme developed and implemented in the United States to boost student interest in science and engineering in Europe.
Based on the proven Engineering is Elementary programme developed by Boston's Museum of Science (BMOS), the project ENGINEER (Breaking new ground in the science education realm) took actions to support widespread adoption of innovative methods of science teaching. To achieve this, it provided extensive teacher training on inquiry-based methods in a European context.
