Participants were organized into four focus groups, one for each Fundamental ContentArea: Quantitative Analysis, Engineering Design, Ethics and Society, and Materials Processingand then each Technical Content Area: Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Civil. Each focusgroup was comprised of at least one high school teacher and one engineer or engineeringeducator. Participants were asked to revise the core and sub concepts for each content area as agroup based on the following

] proposed that students’ epistemic practice in SSI are understood through bothargumentation and informal reasoning [6], [13]. Based on an intensive literature review, Sadler [6]concluded that it is hard to assess the quality of student argumentation only by logical reasoningbecause in SSI contexts, everyday life experiences, moral and ethical beliefs, values, and cultureaffect students’ argumentation practices. Duschl also points out that student argumentation in SSIis a reasoning strategy that involves the general reasoning domain of informal logic as well ascritical thinking [10].In most recent research concerning argumentation, Toulmin’s model [14] was adopted as a usefultool to understand logical reasoning of argumentation. However, Toulmin’s

students have been involved in theproject. Data Collection, Sources, and ManagementInitial and Ethical Considerations The process for collecting and using data in P-12 school settings is significantly differentthan other fields, such as social networks or e-commerce (Carmel, 2016). Those who have accessto the data need to have clear boundaries and parameters on what to access and whichinformation can be made available in which levels of the data (Carmel, 2016). Therefore, ethicalconsideration is vital when conducting research. In this context, ethics are the norms of conductthat must be followed when conducting research as they aid in distinguishing between acceptableand unacceptable behaviors (Resnik, 2011). The

Curriculum unitsare available for middle school STEM courses, as well as for high school biology, physics,chemistry, and computer science.“Students were hooked by the combination of science and ethics. Using circuits, Arduinos/sensors, etc. in designing lessons always helped students feel like they were doing pertinent science. And hearing about current research kept them hooked. They knew the lessons were real and important.” ~RET teacher participantHighlight

Since the researcher was also the instructor as datawas collected although for different purposes, this poses a threat to validity theoretically,procedurally, communication-wise, pragmatically, and ethically[74-76]. From preliminary application, this engineering epistemic frame shows potential forrevealing skills in interactions and conversations that are expressed differently or less frequentlycaptured on traditional paper methods. Specifically, it has the potential to capture values orepistemology that are not currently assessed in K-12 students. Another advantage of thisengineering frame is that it
