ABET, the higher education accrediting body that helps set an engineering student onto theroad towards professional licensure, puts forward several criteria that help shape the student’sexperience and make it more likely they will be successful in their chosen field. Specifically,ABET General Criterion 3 (Student Outcomes) and General Criterion 5 (Curriculum) outline aneducation grounded in math, science, and engineering that is capped with an all-encompassingdesign experience.2 Crucially, this design experience helps the student make the

Our survey with the slight deception hadalso passed ethics approval.Sexuality: In an early iteration of the survey, participants were asked to self-identify theirsexuality. Care was taken to design this question to be inclusive, but concerns were still raised,primarily because of the plan to have parents of the participants sign the letter of consent. In thisprocess it was reasonable to expect that parents may read a completed version of the survey. Itwas also reasonable to expect that participants in this age group may be questioning theirsexuality, but may not have yet

Likewise, Barr andStephenson (2011) compare computational thinking capabilities across computer science,mathematics, science, social studies, and language arts.
