In response to those needs, aseries of educational games have been developed in accordance with pre-engineeringprograms such as Project Lead the Way (PLTW). The focus of development is in creating anengaging, educational environment by balancing fun and learning whilst meeting the standardsof commercial-level games and engineering and science curricula. This paper, in particular,presents the design and pedagogical methods, and the implementation of those methods, in athermodynamics serious game, Solaris One, that accommodates the integration of gamemechanics with learning.

The two researchers will then independently score all responses again. This process will be repeated until their scores agree more than 80% of the time. Test-retest reliability will be determined by administering both versions of the VCD to approximately 20 pre-service teachers who are not involved in the project. Reliability will be achieved when there is greater than 80% agreement, on average, in the performance of individual teachers across the two versions
