Abstract	Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educators are facing the challenge of attracting more students. The disparity between the need for engineers and the enrollment of engineering students is growing (Genalo, Bruning, & Adams, 2000), and career aspirations of high school students are inconsistent with the employment projections for engineering-related careers (Sanoff, 2001). One solution to this problem is to infuse engineering content into K-12 curriculum. The curriculum unit presented in this article introduces middle school students to basic engineering concepts, i.e., the engineering design process, through an activity of making recycled paper. Hands-on activities and classroom presentations are combined, and the process of engineering design and mathematical analysis is presented in a real-world context. (ERIC).
