argumentation is a promising approachto teaching engineering, the National Research Council (NRC, 2012) contended that studentsshould master “constructing a convincing argument that supports or refutes claims” for solutionsabout the designed world – a recommendation that was adopted by the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS Lead States, 2013, p. 63).Although argumentation can help both students and engineers achieve positive outcomes(Gouran, 1995; Zohar & Nemet, 2002), it’s not always a simple skill for students to master(Wilson-Lopez & Garlick, 2017). Consequently, we argue that there is a need for more researchrelated to best practices for supporting K-12 students in engaging in engineering argumentation.The purpose of this review is to

characteristics of effective PD identified in the literature include:(i) sufficient duration; (ii) focus on subject matter; (iii) hands-on activities; (iv) attention toproblems of practice; and (v) institutional support for implementation. It is further suggested thatteacher learning is best promoted by a set of complementary approaches, such as summer PD andonline discussions as follow up [24].Traditionally, the focus of teacher PD programs has been on preparing teachers to follow, ratherthan to create or adapt, innovative, research-based curriculum materials [25].

Analysis of costs and benefits is a critical aspect of decisions about technology (HS-ETS1-1 and 1-3).Yet, helping youth understand the complexities of sociotechnical issues in engineering is nosmall feat, and teachers and researchers alike struggle to support students’ understanding of themultiple and multi-faceted factors involved in implementing engineered solutions to address ahuman need or desire.

Thus, middleschoolers and high schoolers are at the prime age for being influenced into STEM fields.This is just a pilot study and evaluation for the first year in the seven year project. In future work,the researchers will collect quantitative and qualitative data from future summer camps andanalyze the data concurrently in a mixed methods research design.
