and implemented in conjunction withengineering PhD students and have been discussed in an earlier paper [14]. As shown in figure 2,students practice the embedded skills in the five core themes multiple times per course. The finalcourse of the sequence allows students to select a capstone project. The five core engineeringthemes are the underlying structure to all major projects, quick builds and capstone projects. Figure 2. Design challenges covered within the 3 coursesThe engineering design and project management themes (Figure 1) are generally new to moststudents and therefore do not require significant differentiation. The remaining themes ofengineering analysis, technical communication, fabrication and prototyping are

the College of Arts and Sciences. Over the course of this grant, he advised over 500 individual calculus students on their course projects. He was given an Outstanding Advising Award by USF and has been the recipient of numerous teaching awards at the department, college, university (Jerome Krivanek Distinguished Teaching Award) and state (TIP award) levels. Scott is also a co-PI of a Helios-funded Middle School Residency Program for Science and Math (for which he teaches the capstone course) and is on the leadership committee for an NSF IUSE grant to transform STEM Education at USF. His research is in the areas of solution thermodynamics and environmental monitoring and modeling.Ms. Manopriya Devisetty Subramanyam

their desire about whatprofession they would want to explore in college.IntroductionUndergraduate student competitions have proven to be effective learning tools for many yearsand have introduced themselves in college-level engineering curricula in a variety of formats.These authentic engineering experiences regularly appear in senior capstone design courseswhich include projects that generally focus on electro-mechanical systems design andoptimization. For over three decades, the most commonly described competitions in theengineering education literature are FormulaSAE (FSAE) [1], BajaSAE [2][3], Supermileage,Steel Bridge, Solar Decathlon, and Concrete Canoe, with abundant ASEE conference papers onthe automotive projects alone.The benefits and

journals, storyboards, and traditional assessments, in situ videorecordings captured decisions and evolution of projects differently. To further investigate thepotential of ongoing interactions as spaces for demonstrating engineering thinking and ideas, aframework was created to analyze in situ video clips. An epistemic frame [2-6] was developedto capture skills, knowledge, identity, values, and epistemologies of engineering relative to K-12formal and informal spaces. First, this paper will describe the development of an engineeringepistemic frame for K-12 students and its synthesis using literature, local contexts, and nationalpolicy directives and its application to one pilot set of data as a case study. The context of thecase study was final
