The "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS) focus attention on integrating engineering and math in science instruction. The dinosaur trackway project described in this article shows that it is possible to assign engineering applications to students in disciplines other than physics and to integrate math and engineering applications in the science classroom. The authors write that they have experienced positive outcomes with this project and encourage colleagues to incorporate math in the Mesozoic to involve their own students in designing and engineering classroom trackways.
