included intermediate block coding, circuit-building with “snap together electroniccomponents,” engineering design tasks, and STEM challenges using robotics such as VEX Go. The goal ofthese activities was to engage students in learning concepts related to the engineering design process,programming physical devices, and basic electronics without breadboarding or soldering. Use of Preexisting Curricula. Many of the school initial plans relied heavily on preexisting schoolcurriculum, mostly from the engineering and technology subject, as a means for vertically aligning theintegration of semiconductors across the grades. The most common pre-existing curriculum used across theschools was from the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) vendor. At this grade

. 1INTRODUCTIONStudents enrolled in collegiate engineering programs often are required to take an entry-leveldesign course. These types of courses expose students to ill-structured complex design problems,where there is not one single method or solution and there is uncertainty about which rules orprinciples are necessary to use [1]. Research suggests that hands-on design-based project classesalso excite engineering students and motivate them to stay in an engineering program [2]. Ill-structured design problems-- as opposed to well-structured problems-- more closely mirror thework engineers perform outside of academia. To solve real-world problems, engineers mustgather information that is not readily available, decide on a process, and identify and

]. Lifelong learning requires students to develop metacognitive skills including theability to evaluate their knowledge, reflect on experiences, and process strategies to grow from it[2, 3]. It can create self-awareness, critical thinking, and the ability to better adapt which areessential skills for engineers. Recently, reflection opportunities have been integrated intoengineering classrooms in a variety of ways including reflective journaling, reflective portfolios,and end of project or semester evaluations [4-6]. These methods have had benefits for thestudents even if the results are not explicitly clear in academic metrics.There have been studies in engineering education to show that reflective practices can improvestudent problem-solving skills
