The author describes New York State's New Compact for Learning educational reform project and specifically discusses the work of the MST (mathematics, science, and technology) curriculum and assessment committee. The design and content of a new introductory high school engineering course will be presented as an exemplary program for helping students to achieve the new integrated MST learning outcomes. Finally, a national teacher enhancement and leadership network program that is supported by the National Science Foundation is described.<
