Just like any other subjects, the "level" can be modified to provide age appropriate instruction. The "Engineering is Elementary" program is a fantastic example of that! Marta,

I had never thought of Engineering as a high school subject because it always seemed too "advanced". But you definitely have a point and I have recently heard of a few schools offering it as a senior elective. I will post the links up on my Science Teacher's Hub wiki under the Science Specialist subjects. Thanks for the links Eric.
