Exploring Circuit Education for Early LearnersAbstract:Early exposure to circuits is critical to fostering an interest in engineering for young students, buttraditional circuit education is often not adapted to their cognitive and motor skill levels. Wedeveloped and evaluated two hands-on circuit education approaches, the Circuit Sticks and thePre-Prepared Copper Tape Circuits. Both methods were designed for first-grade students toimprove accessibility and engagement in early circuit learning. The Circuit Sticks provide astructured, guided experience, using color-coded polarity indicators and modular assembly tolower the barrier to entry. The Pre-Prepared Copper Tape Circuits, on the other hand, requireindependent

, which is a technical writing course offered by the Englishdepartment specifically designed to teach engineers best practices for writing reports andresearch papers. It is therefore expected that students should be reasonably proficient inpresenting their results in written form. It is clear from their narrative descriptions in the surveythat they have not necessarily internalized the entire data reporting process. Descriptions focusheavily on writing tasks and calculation tasks, but tend to forget the higher order tasks ofscientific and academic argument. The tasks which are more concrete, such as graphing,calculating, and following standard writing schemes stick in students’ minds as the key tasks inprocessing lab data. It is particularly
