abilities of most high school STEM teachers. Pre-planning with these circuit boards was a significant factor in the project’s success (Appendix B).Results and AnalysisResults from the 2017 implementation cycle are presented in this paper; these results indicatethat the unit successfully met its three objectives. Results from the 2018 cycle, in which a fewimprovements to the unit were incorporated, will be included once they are available.Objective 1: Before starting the unit, all 59 students were given a survey with twenty statementsadapted from the Friday Institute highschool S-STEM survey [9], NGSS 21stCentury skills statements, and NGSSengineering design standards.
