The framework development included identifying K–12 data science elements and then validating element suitability for young students. Six cycled steps were identified: identifying a problem, questioning, imagining and planning, collecting, analyzing, and story sharing. This paper also presents examples of data decision problems and demonstrates use of a proposed Insight- Detective method with a plan worksheet for Dataying.IntroductionThe expected growth of data science careers worldwide over the next ten years means thatstudents of all ages

She wanted the students to develop a business plan for starting a makerspaceon the university campus. This makerspace would provide students with access to prototypingequipment, such as 3D printers, at little to no cost.As I started planning the makerspace student project, I soon realized that a cross-disciplinaryteam with training in business, marketing, and engineering would be necessary to effectivelyaddress the overall goal of the project.

The AI mentor will “learn” from students’ design processesto better assist them. This agent will rely both on event-based design process logs (e.g., when a studentadds to a team members’ sketch or revises their problem statement) generated by the system as well as atagging typology informed by researcher analysis for distinguishing more convergent or divergentconcept generation artifacts.In conjunction with the development plan and following a design

Also, the development, implementation, maintenance, andmanagement of technology require sophisticated leadership from the engineering profession.However, as many studies and leaders have concluded, our graduating engineers are not preparedto address the new constraints of collateral impact of technology and the risks posed byunintended consequences. Therefore, engineering educators must now plan for the next step inthe evolution of engineering education to prepare students for the leadership challenge ofdeveloping technology in an organizational and cultural context.

The first categoryof transfer students includes those who pre-plan the transfer before getting admission into a com-munity college [13], [14], [15], [16]. This category often includes students who choose to takegeneral education courses or earn an associate degree at a community college before transferringto a 4-year institution (often because of the lower cost of tuition).
