ENGR 102HS is a year-long courseat all but three participating high schools, which offer it as a semester-long course. During theadditional contact minutes, high school students work on assignments typically assigned ashomework in the university setting. For ENGR 102HS, there is an expectation that each sitesupplements the curriculum with engineering projects and challenges beyond the corecurriculum.

We described the process of developing learning progressions across a sequence of three required aerospace engineering courses (one in each of years two, three, and four of the program) and collecting preliminary data to begin investigating the presence of activities and content related to these progressions in the classrooms. Data collection included the pilot survey, ethnographic classroom observations, and written individual reflections from students. These efforts also included developing a new design-for-requirement mini-project, now referred to as the glider-catapult project [15]. The progressions focused on the following six competencies

Its early adoption coincidedwith increasing concerns about the limitations of traditional engineering curricula, which havebeen criticized for being overly conservative, outdated, and narrowly focused on present-dayproblems and constraints [5, 6, 7]. In response, design thinking introduced more innovativepedagogical methods that promote creativity, iterative development, and human-centeredproblem solving.Over the past two decades, design thinking has been widely integrated into first-year engineeringdesign courses, product design curricula, and senior capstone projects [8].
