The National Science Foundation's Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program has released a report on best practices in an engineering education model. The report outlines the results from a two-year study to determine how replicable these instructional practices are. According to the Executive Summary, initial results tend to show that "participation in ITEST Engineering projects leads to increased interest in STEM careers; increased STEM learning; increased engagement in, motivation, and understanding of the relevance of the ITEST projects to academics; and an increased understanding of Work Skills/Engineering as a tool for 21st-century learning."
