BBC micro:bit can be powered via battery pack (without computer interaction) allowing users tocollect data both indoors and outdoors. The BBC micro:bit is a powerful and flexible technology tool thatis suitable for use with students in grades three and up.The standards-aligned Garden TOOLS curriculum includes nine lessons requiring an estimated 15 hoursto complete. Student learning outcomes include the ability to: • Program a BBC micro:bit to collect data in an outdoor learning space. • Make informed management decisions based on assessment and analysis of data. • Integrate the BBC micro:bit and other suitable technologies into engineering design solutions to address student-identified garden challenges.To achieve these

Engineering Department. Understanding and classifying the knowledge gapsin the progression of BAE courses can lead to applying the proper integrating techniques in orderto balance and equilibrate the prospective teaching modules.Therefore, in this work we examined specific knowledge concepts considered essential withinthe curriculum at a large southwestern University’s Bio-based engineering program. Theresearch aimed to understand the level of students’ exposure to essential knowledge and suggestrecommendations for an improved comprehensive degree plan. The study used a survey in orderto evaluate knowledge areas required for discipline specific core courses by a program basedassessment of faculty who have taught through at least one academic year
