feasibility of their design ideas [73]. Others present interpreted vignettes ofclassroom activity and detail methods such as interaction analysis [74] or ethnography [75]. Forinstance, in such research conducted in an elementary school, we see how students are able toidentify and frame engineering problems in their own school that affect the students, and alsothat even young students can make predictions and plan testing of their prototypes when they aredesigning with contexts they understand in mind [76]. And in research conducted using a gamein which girls role-played as mechanical engineers, the girls developed engineering skills andknowledge, and these were particularly supported by having a client and reflecting on progress ina notebook [10

. Those criteria were updated and can be found in full in the article, “Best STEMBooks” (NSTA, 2017). Best STEM Books need to address one STEM field, and must invite“STEM-like thinking.” Much of this thinking overlaps with habits of mind and practices withinengineering design. The best STEM trade books invite STEM-like thinking by:• Modeling real-world innovation • Addressing connections between STEM• Embracing real-world design, invention disciplines and innovation • Exploring Engineering Habits of Mind• Connecting with authentic experiences o Systems thinking• Showing assimilation of new ideas o Creativity• Illustrating

A student commentedthat they found the electrical engineering course extremely interesting, but they would havenever picked it as a class if they had been given other options. In previous years, students choosefour areas to study in depth during camp, but now, all students take shorter course in all offereddisciplines.

In CEEMS, teachers would regularly discuss this healthy balance with otherteachers in the program and their resource team coaches. Similarly, teachers not participating ina formal program, such as CEEMS, could be encouraged to seek out a community of practice oflike-minded peers, with whom they can honestly discuss when to use engineering designchallenges and when to teach content using traditional pedagogies. In addition to the careful selection of standards, other factors not addressed in this paper mayhelp mitigate the barrier of time. Block scheduling can be a

researchers seek to understand whether and to what extent thedevelopment of engineering “habits of mind and action” in middle school STEM (science,technology, engineering, and math) courses leads to improvements in problem solving abilities,integration of STEM content, and increased interest in engineering. The Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS; NGSS Lead States, 2013) call for “raising engineering design to the samelevel as scientific inquiry in science classroom instruction at all levels” (p. 1). Reflecting thisemphasis on engineering as a core idea, recent reforms include proficiency in engineering designas a key component of college and career readiness (Auyang, 2004; Carr, Bennett, & Strobel,2012; Duderstadt, 2008; Kelly, 2014
