The current paper identifies the lack of engineering concepts taught in secondary education and to this end proposes a new approach to be followed. The contents of the aforementioned approach are subject to the EU project Manuskills and the research conducted in its concept. The utilization of pedagogical scenarios is proposed as a tool for secondary school teachers towards the incorporation of engineering concepts into their teaching practice. The nature and the characteristics of pedagogical scenarios that constitute them appropriate for this purpose will be reported and analyzed.
