. Additionally, the curriculum that supports the horizontally andvertically integrated STEM educational approach will be described in light of the positive resultsof this research. The specific pre-engineering program design in a mid-Atlantic-region schooland the methods of assessment may benefit other educators develop high school pre-engineeringprograms and develop instructional objectives to support students in developing authenticproblem-solving skills. Such programs may help better prepare students to orient themselves forpost-secondary engineering education and careers.BackgroundThe shortfall in the intended outcomes for students’ achievement of the implied higher orderthinking skills, characterized by one of the five C’s of the 21st century

conducted at a public university in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic region. Through aquasi-experimental design approach, this research assessed the impact of Ed+gineering on PSTs’engineering and pedagogical knowledge and beliefs towards engineering integration. PSTs wereassigned to treatment and comparison groups based on their course section. All participatingcourses had two versions (treatment and comparison) with the same learning objectives andsimilar content. The PSTs in the treatment group completed the Ed+gineering collaborationproject with engineering students as one of their class assignments. The comparison group wascomposed of PSTs enrolled in the same courses as the treatment group, but in sections that didnot participate in the Ed+gineering

design ideas. improvement ideasResearch QuestionThe research question that drives our study is: In PSTs’ responses to a student work analysistask, what do PSTs notice about students’ first designs and ideas about design performance andimprovement?Curricular ContextThere are two aspects of the curricular context of this study that we will share here. First, we willdescribe the design challenge [25]. Second, we will describe the student work relevant to thepresent study [22].Design ChallengeThe shoreline design challenge is a classroom-tested upper elementary science-integrated designchallenge. In it, a city on a bay in the mid-Atlantic has

particularly useful prompting question was: “Why?”Research QuestionsWe investigated three research questions for this study: 1. How do kindergartners engaged in an engineering design challenge analyze (i.e., diagnose and/or explain) their design failure experiences? 2. Do kindergartners whose designs fail choose to persist by trying again? 3. How do kindergartners whose designs fail apply testing results and failure analysis when creating their next design attempt?ContextParticipants and SchoolsWe recruited participants from five kindergarten classrooms across three schools within a schoolsystem in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Adamsville Elementary is a Title I schoolin an urban area with about 500 students. Blakely

. Rubric developmentand use represented our attempt to quantify our answers to the research questions and explorationof relationships among variables. In what follows, we explain our participant selection process,context for the study, the interviews we conducted, and our data analysis process.Project Participants Participants came from five classrooms in three schools in a school system in the mid-Atlantic area and were in the second half of their kindergarten year at the time of the study inspring 2018. Blakely Elementary is in a rural part of the county (one classroom); AdamsvilleElementary is a Title I school in an urban area (two classrooms); and Kellerton Elementary is ina middle-class suburban area (two classrooms); all school names
