well as the barriers theyperceive to doing so. Results indicated that most elementary teachers support the inclusion ofengineering within the science standards for elementary grades. Teachers describe lack ofpreservice and in-service training, lack of background knowledge, lack of materials, lack of timefor planning and implementing lessons, and lack of administrative support as barriers toimplementing engineering activities within their classrooms.*The views and opinions of the speaker expressed herein do not necessarily state or reflect thoseof the U.S. Government or any agency thereof.Introduction The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) incorporated engineering practices intoK-12 science standards [1], and because NGSS calls for

asked simply do you know any engineers and if so who. More thanhalf (56%) reported not knowing any engineers. These results are interesting, because the stateof Michigan as a whole has one of the largest per-capita populations of engineers in the country.Yet, the greater Lansing metropolitan area is a bit of an exception to that trend, with very fewtechnology based employers. That is reflected in this data, with only 14 students reporting thattheir parents are engineers. The majority of those responding that they knew an engineer tendedto cite a more distant relationship both in terms of bloodline and geography.Many of the survey questions focused on student perceptions of what do engineers do, and whatdoes it take to become an engineer. These

. collaborated on thedevelopment of a software package based on the Robot Operating System (ROS) to facilitateseamless communication and transfer of location information between robots. To effectively setupa distributed network (see Figure 7) and enable information transfer between the robots, they hadto understand the concept of custom messages in ROS. Later, using fiducial marker-based tracking,they extracted localization information and constructed a custom message that is transferred topeer robots. The project further involved reflecting the localization information of the robots intoan iPad app for user interaction.4.6.

In contrast tomonological approaches often taken by men, women’s communication tends to be more interactive[24], with girls asking more probing questions than boys [25].Building on these considerations, the primary objective of this study was to examine how genderaffects students’ decision-making process in an engineering-based SSI context related torenewable energy. Duschl suggested that we need to move beyond structured dialogue toward aframework that reflects how evidence is constructed and supported by reasoning [10]. Tounderstand how a student's context (gender) shapes their reasoning and decision-making, students’argumentative practices were
