Protocolfor Engineering Design (COPED) [23], and the Classroom Assessment Scoring System [24],which are science-specific, engineering-specific, engineering design process focused, andcontent agnostic, respectively. Although these instruments provide a variety of different designsto support the development of a new observational instrument, they are ill-suited for use inclassrooms that feature STEM integration, as they do not directly address instruction or learningthat occurs at the intersection of multiple disciplines. Further, these instruments were notdesigned with an integrated STEM education framework in mind, thus missing keycharacteristics of integrated STEM. The desire and need for such as instrument motivated thework reported here, which

process, as illustrated in Figure 7. We generated our ideas byreviewing our curriculum's required course content and listing the most critical topics in theMaterials domain. In addition, we evaluated our existing material laboratory course content andsummarized the pros and cons. Then, we researched individual faculty research specialties in thedepartment, the NAE grand challenges of engineering [13], and daily engineering problemsstudents might be interested in. For institutes with existing equipment, which is different from ourcase, summarizing a list of existing equipment could be beneficial in the research phase. Aftergathering the above ideas and research results, we analyzed the data and connected the dots. Wefound brainstorming mind maps

It is to help you find out if you want tobe an engineer and, do you have what it takes to be an engineer?

was due in part to the process ofproposing new, “workable” problems and in part due to the heavy load of grading the many documents required Page 12.235.5from the students. In addition to this pressure, several other factors were coming to bear upon the junior level courseas well. It became apparent that entrepreneurial and project management skills were becoming increasinglyimportant in engineering. Changing community needs resulted in an increasing number of requests from non-profitand charitable organizations for product development. With these factors in mind, the junior level course wasrevised to reflect a more service
