Abstract	When science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education is discussed in the K-12 sphere, it often seems like shorthand for mathematics and science, with perhaps a nod to technology and even less, if any, real attention to engineering. But recent developments signal that the "e" in STEM may be gaining a firmer foothold at the precollegiate level. For one, a new, national assessment in technology and engineering literacy will be administered to 8th graders next year by the makers of "the nation's report card" on education. Also, engineering design is threaded through a set of "next generation" science standards nearing completion by a coalition of experts and 26 states. And the first-ever Advanced Placement program in engineering may be on the horizon, as efforts to create one appear to be building steam. (ERIC).
