In typical protocol analyses the researchers commence with a pre-existingcoding scheme and modify it based on the task and events in the current protocol. In this projectwe will use a principled coding scheme based on the FBS ontology developed by Gero andcolleagues (Gero, 1990; Gero & Kannengiesser, 2004). The FBS ontology contains three types ofvariables: Function (F), Behavior (B) and Structure (S). Function (F) represents the designintentions or purposes of the design; behavior (B) represents the object’s attributes that can beeither directly derived from a representation of the object (Bs) or expected to be derived

When students formulate computational models,they develop understanding by engaging in the theory and observations of a situation. Studentscomplete each educational learning module in about three hours outside of class after they havebeen introduced to the individual topic in lecture(s) and completed a series of homeworkproblems. As students complete an activity, they are encouraged to refer to its correspondinggrading rubric, which conveys expectations of quality across different levels of expertise. Ourpedagogical model can be used to design learning modules for difficult concepts in other STEMsubjects.Keywords: cognitive apprenticeship, pedagogical model, engineering

Each topic wasdesigned to have theory video(s) coupled with at least one practice video as a complete set forstudents.
