students’ exposure to the four different realms of STEMduring secondary education. In turn, STEM degrees are not as prevalent in post-secondaryeducation as those from more established, traditional fields of study. The National Center forEducation Statistics (NCES) reports that of the 2 million bachelor’s degrees conferred during the2018-2019 period for US colleges, 6% (126,700) were in engineering, following behind business(19%), health-related programs (12%), and social sciences and history (8%) [12]. Similarly,more than 66% of the 1 million associate’s degrees awarded during the same period focused onone of three major areas of study: liberal arts and sciences, health professions, and business [13].There is a clear need to continue exposing

United States and the world,stakeholders, including NAE, NSPE, and ASEE, increasingly acknowledge the importance ofcreativity in engineering design. High school curricula are starting to introduce engineeringconcepts, including robotics, 3D printing, and the engineering design process. Traditionally,these technical concepts have been separated from opportunities to practice creativity andinnovation. In this setting, students are led to think that creativity and innovation are notcompatible with engineering design.The following paper evaluates the effectiveness of strategies geared toward encouragingcreativity and innovation in conjunction with the engineering design process to foster new,unique, or atypical approaches to engineering problems.

education at the high school level. Short bootcamp or workshop-styleprograms are common where educators and mentors work with high school students for 1-2 weeks.Similar to code.org, the learning goals in such programs are skewed toward the input data (usuallyimages) and the output results (predictions shown in a GUI) while skipping the technical detailsdue to lack of student preparation and time. Nevertheless, the high school students go out of theseworkshops with increased motivation for studying CS [13], increased preparation for college [14],and a positive outlook of AI [15].Educational programs that include technical details have also been organized. In 2019, a work-shop [16] was conducted using Scratch (scratch.mit.edu) to teach concepts like

Further studies, therefore, are needed to understand the influenceof provided design solutions on pre-college students’ ideation.Conclusion, Limitations, and Future WorkLooking at all of the studies published thus far, the landscape of research on fixation in K-12design education can be described as pockets of exploratory research. The studies published thusfar show that design fixation does not influence students not only during the initial ideageneration stage but also during the design iteration process. The next step of my work includesexploring literature on fixation from different databases including ASEE and expanding thetimeline to 2007 which was when the first article on fixation for high school

The High-QualityEngineering Guidebook was developed based on current frameworks such as the Frameworkfor P-12 Engineering Learning, Engineering is Elementary, and Project Lead the Way's Activity-Project-Problem-Based Learning.The group built upon these frameworks by identifying perceived implementation barriers forengineering design processes and discussing practical strategies to overcome these hurdles.2The High-Quality Engineering Guidebook includes five criteria for teaching engineering designat each school level (elementary, middle, and high) framed through culturally relevantpedagogy.
