Nations throughout the world have recognized the importance of having a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) competent workforce in today's highly competitive and technical economy. As such, the past fifteen years have seen a sharp rise in introducing pre-college (P-12) students to engineering and engaging them in learning engineering principles. Policy decisions to include engineering in national curriculum and standards have not been informed by as rich a body of research as subjects such as mathematics and science; however, research on P-12 engineering education is on the rise. This paper presents a systematic review of the engineering education research in P-12 published in journals from 2000-2015. Asystematic review follows a set of replicable, detailed procedures that describe how the articles were selected, reviewed, and analysed. The results of this review included 218 peer-reviewed journal articles. The paper details the kinds of research and research questions these papers focused on, and synthesizes and discusses findings of across different topics, and proposes research topics ripe for further work.
