With this broader theme in mind, two more specific objectivesare the primary foci of this paper: • Objective 1: What do the reflection data and follow-up interviews make visible about engineering practice, including in terms of boundary spanning? • Objective 2: How do participants respond differently in the reflections and interviews, and how is this potentially related to personality or other individual characteristics?In support of these objectives we first consider the challenges of studying engineering practiceand how others have conducted such research. Second, we report on the types of reflectionprompts we developed, justification for their use

The project is unique because it melded the following five attributes into an open-ended hands-on engineering design-and-build high school project: 1) DBT pedagogy; 2) theengineering design process; 3) comprehensive technical coverage of rocket systems; 4) the sevenaxes of engineering practice; and 5) enabling computer simulations and micro-sensor

Bringing real-world problems into the classroom via capstone problems and other hands- on exercises is not only the most effective way to spark interest in engineering, but also teaches soft skills like problem solving and collaboration. 3. With so much screen time on mobile phones, computers, and other electronic devices, engaging with students and incorporating soft skills into lesson plans is very difficult. 4.
