In order to preparefor these changes – as well as to address the equity issues that have plagued CS since its inception– we engaged in a project designed to reimagine content and pathways for high school CSeducation. As a collaborative project, we hosted multiple events for relevant parties (includingK-12 educators and administrators, higher education faculty, industry professionals, state anddistrict CS supervisors, and CS education researchers). These events were designed tocollaboratively seek input for the creation of a series of reports recommending what a CS coursethat satisfies

However, incorporatingreflection in a way that engages engineering students can be challenging, and educators seekways to design or introduce effective and efficient reflective practices that best address this issue.In this paper, we describe three example case studies that use the concept of probes and weanalyze their potential for stimulating reflection to help identify new ways of supportingreflection in engineering education.

In addition tocourse content, PBL can promote the development of critical thinking skills, problem-solvingabilities, and communication skills.
