, based on feedback from our industry partners and alumni, we saw that thestudents performed very poorly in software design. When they were tasked with writing a smallscript to accomplish a specific goal (e.g., computing the Fibonacci sequence), students performedjust fine. However, when given a larger design specification and asked to build a completeend-to-end system integrating both hardware and software, students did not even know where tobegin. Some might argue that those skills should belong only to computer scientists, but that issimply a fallacy. For the vast majority of engineering professions today, good programmingskills are no longer an option but a prerequisite.With these insights in mind, we designed a sophomore-level course that

behaviors in K-12 science teachingusing discourse analysis. This protocol focuses on the instructor, including tracking questionsand responses, transitions from one activity to another, physical movement and the set up of theclassroom space, which is appealing. However, there is no provision for the coding of tool use inthis protocol [31]. Subsequently, the Classroom Observation Protocol for Engineering Design(COPED) was designed to evaluate engineering design curriculum integration in K-12classrooms [32]. The authors focus their protocol on emphasizing engineering design processesand habits of mind. The COPED is an incremental protocol designed to observe one aspect ofengineering education in K-12 classes. Wheeler [32] states that other protocols

Our intention was to continue the work we had begun in 2018 and2019. Our original agenda for the summer of 2020 was to produce detailed evaluations of activities with adesigned rubric. We had planned to include better design of activities with convergence to the main problemin-mind. We wanted to research the impacts of linear and non-linear activities from the literature and designa careful REU experience.

Discontinuities like those possessed by the Dirichlet function, were notincluded but should be delayed, if needed, for future study.By the end of the 18th century mathematicians, led by Leonhard Euler and Daniel Bernoulli, hadcrystallized the calculus currently taught to engineers and physicists. The engineers andphysicists of the 18th century would not have been perturbed by the previous examples. At thebeginning of the 19th century, starting with Fourier, cracks were discovered in themathematicians’ logical system. The finest 19th century mathematical minds explored all thecontradictions and combinations in the real number system culminating

engineering teams and engineering students. Withthis in mind, the recommendations from our study can be implemented and studied inengineering classes that include projects. Researchers will want to investigate the followingquestions: 1. How can virtual teams integrate social interactions into a meeting structure to foster trust between team members? Is it best to include time for social interactions before, during, or after discussing project details? How do virtual teams establish comfortable environments for team members to have personal conversations? 2. What planning documents do engineering students find helpful for effective communication for establishing clear expectations and building trust? 3. What meeting
