This report is an assessment of the 2008 Design Your Future (DYF) Teacher Institute offered at Humboldt State University (HSU). This institute was focused on introducing teachers to engineering and part of a larger initiative that partners with area high schools to offer college credit for the HSU engineering course. The institute was developed with a grant from the California State University Engineering Academies Initiative in partnership with the HSU Redwood Science Project. The Redwood Science Project offers ongoing K-12 educators professional development opportunities and support with teaching science.
