Engineering education in schools:

1. Presents opportunities for students to acquire critical 21st century skills, such as problem-solving, creativity, innovation, and teamwork;
   
2. provides relevant problems and contexts which will motivate students to more deeply learn and apply science and mathematics;
   
3. and promotes habits of mind, such as analytical thinking, that can be applied across a variety of problems, disciplines, and contexts.
