Design Solutions (Fundamental)Introduction With the introduction of the Next Generation Science Standards [1] engineering is nowbeing incorporated into K-12 classrooms for the first time on a national level. As such, there isan increased need to understand how children communicate during engineering activities to bestsupport their learning. In elementary classrooms, where young students are in the process ofdeveloping their verbal capacities, gestures from both the teacher and students serve as a keycomponent of communication of new ideas and the processing of social information [2]. Thusfar, research efforts to understand how students of all ages use gestures to communicate andunderstand new ideas have focused primarily on mathematics and

of studies have shown the link between what a parent perceives as important and whattheir child values [1]. This connection between a parent and their child has the potential topositively influence their career path. Specifically, mothers are shown to play an especially largerole in their child’s interest in a STEM career [2]. Due to this connection, parents’ perception ofSTEM could be a valuable tool in encouraging students to consider pursuing STEM, regardlessof the parent’s occupation. The demand for STEM workers is growing and understanding whatparents’ opinions of STEM are could provide a resource to fill those needed roles [3].In this study, we focus on how parents, who send their children to a STEM summer camp viewSTEM.

There is an abundance ofliterature on the gender gap in STEM, which attempts to identify causes of this gap and touncover effective interventional strategies. Much research is focused on external factors andhow these impact girls’ self-efficacy such as gender stereotypes, gender bias, and perceptions ofengineering and computer science, as well as on internal factors such as student mindset andinterest level [1] - [6].

Given the promising nature of these findings for integrated STEM settings, we suggest thatit is important to study the impact of standalone engineering design coursework on high schoolstudents’ relationship with science, namely their interest in learning more about science.The Interconnectedness Between Engineering and Science KnowledgeIn recent years, there have been efforts to understand the relationship between scienceknowledge and engineering knowledge. Specifically, Antik-Meyer and Brown developed aconceptual framework on the nature of engineering knowledge (NOEK), in which they describedengineering as interdisciplinary due to its interrelated and co-dependent relationship with scienceand technology [1].

This, and literature like it, demonstrates the considerable efforttowards broadening participation in engineering starting at the pre-college level. Although teachers, principals, counselors and others are critical in enacting efforts tobroaden participation in engineering, less research has focused on this perspective.
