, based on feedback from our industry partners and alumni, we saw that thestudents performed very poorly in software design. When they were tasked with writing a smallscript to accomplish a specific goal (e.g., computing the Fibonacci sequence), students performedjust fine. However, when given a larger design specification and asked to build a completeend-to-end system integrating both hardware and software, students did not even know where tobegin. Some might argue that those skills should belong only to computer scientists, but that issimply a fallacy. For the vast majority of engineering professions today, good programmingskills are no longer an option but a prerequisite.With these insights in mind, we designed a sophomore-level course that

behaviors in K-12 science teachingusing discourse analysis. This protocol focuses on the instructor, including tracking questionsand responses, transitions from one activity to another, physical movement and the set up of theclassroom space, which is appealing. However, there is no provision for the coding of tool use inthis protocol [31]. Subsequently, the Classroom Observation Protocol for Engineering Design(COPED) was designed to evaluate engineering design curriculum integration in K-12classrooms [32]. The authors focus their protocol on emphasizing engineering design processesand habits of mind. The COPED is an incremental protocol designed to observe one aspect ofengineering education in K-12 classes. Wheeler [32] states that other protocols
