With over 100 years of experience in education, Tom White, Terry Nagy and Dick Blais have come together to create an exciting STEM curriculum program. The Siemens Engineering Design STEM curriculum (currently, only available in the USA) they developed is a secondary school course that features Solid Edge design software. Let’s not bury the lead, this course is being provided at no cost by Siemens PLM (Product Lifecycle Management). There is no cost for the curriculum, no cost for the “Siemens Online Academy”, and no cost for the Siemens Solid Edge design software.

Exploring STEM Curriculum:

Siemens Engineering Design – As you could imagine, with such a great team of educators behind it, this STEM program is fully integrated with cross-curricular content. It allows students to see and understand the relevance of content learned in a variety of subjects. Teach your students how they can use design software to create, analyze, and fully develop solutions. Encourage your students to use original thinking and collaborate to generate innovative solutions.

The intent of this program is to empower students to figure out their own solutions to the problems presented to them. Using a project-based, problem-solving approach prepares students to be successful in their career path. This program can be utilized as a stand-alone full-year course or taught in one semester if you use a double period block schedule. It also serves as an excellent foundation for the SREB Advanced Career pathways, and other programs. Find out how you can employ this powerful curriculum in your classroom.
