Engaging middleschool learners in collaborative engineering design projects can provide them with opportunitiesto develop communicative competencies related to speaking like an engineer by participating intalk about designed products, design processes, and metacommunicative talk about designcommunication itself.9-11The K-12 engineering education community also recognizes collaborative interaction as a keyengineering practice.
