In the 1990s, EDC’s Center for Educational Resources and Outreach (ERO) developed an interdisciplinary curriculum for elementary and middle school students, for the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The curriculum activities are a key part of SAE’s A World In Motion® (AWIM) curriculum that joins together teachers, students, and industry volunteers in an exploration of physical science while addressing essential mathematic and scientific concepts and skills. Beginning in 2007, ERO in collaboration with EDC’s Center for Science Education (CSE) and Education, Employment, and Community (EEC) Programs, is creating a replacement activity for sixth grade students.
