Abstract

This report, commissioned by the Royal Academy of Engineering, explores the ways schools can create better and more engaging learning opportunities for would-be engineers.It builds upon the six engineering habits of mind (EHoM): systems-thinking,adapting, problem-finding, creative problem-solving, visualising, and improving.These were identified in earlier research, Thinking like an Engineer: implications for the education system (2014).This report identifies four principles that underpin the kinds of teaching that are most likely to encourage young people to develop a passion for engineering in today’s busy schools and colleges:
