Engineering in K-12 provides theopportunity to bring together the science and mathematics content and practices within thecontext of design-based authentic problem-solving. Researchers [7] argue that a sequenced andcohesive K-12 engineering program would be a reasonable option to encourage and preparestudents to STEM career pathways and prepare them for a successful

things work as proposed, andsometimes they never figure it out.Most researchers are familiar with the need to evaluate the end results of a completed project,which in the professional evaluation community is termed outcomes evaluation (or impactevaluation). While necessary for funded projects, outcomes evaluation is summative—at best itmight reveal what the researchers should have done, but it comes too late to change what theyactually did. A formative approach called utilization-focused evaluation helps project leadersmonitor and improve their project throughout its term.1 A particularly powerful utilization-focused technique is implementation evaluation (or process evaluation), in which a trainedevaluator is brought into a project from its

Integrated ethics content canencourage students to practice “what is right to do and how will my decisions impact thesociotechnical and societal norms within society?” The process of seeking answers for thesequestions can help students to recognize the ethical and moral conflicts as a part of designproblems. In a complex design process, there are often conflicts, and these potential conflictsshould be considered simultaneously by design engineers [7].Researchers conceptualize the design process and propose moral reflections with distinctapproaches that are informed by empirical research in socio-technical contexts [6].

In order to reflect the recent approaches within engineering, capstonecourses can be enhanced through the integration of charrettes. Charrettes are hands-on,collaborative sessions where stakeholders come to a design consensus. These sessions provideopportunities for students to improve communication, technical evaluation, teamwork, peerevaluation and professionalism skills. This research provides a framework for adapting thecharrette
