estimates as an importantand underutilized concept in K-12 education 2.Reference Points An understanding of the reasonableness of estimates is an invaluable metacognitive toolwhen a student is attempting to generate his or her own original estimates. Such understandingis referred to in the present work as a knowledge component (KC) and this is certainly amultifaceted one, referred to in related literature as an integrative KC 11, meaning one that iscomposed of smaller KCs. In order to assess the reasonableness of an estimate, it helps to havean understanding of related values. For example, for a student to estimate the dimensions of hisor her gas tank, it may be helpful for that student to think of related volume measures that mightbe more

The orientation provides information regarding institutional resources aswell as support and guidance to help integrate and acclimate new faculty. Barlow and Antoniou[2] propose “ensuring that new staff have access to the information and facilities they need fromthe start in order to reduce frustration and enable them to develop confidence and begin to feel incontrol from an early stage” helps to acclimate new “lecturing staff” into the Institute and theirroles.The orientation is designed to also foster a sense of competence, collegiality

Given these impacts on society and considering that computing andengineering continue to merge as advanced technologies are developed, a need has beenestablished for ethical reasoning in technical curricula [3- 6].

The lack of academic preparation for theseincoming first-year engineering students presented a formidable problem.We searched for a solution where we could connect directly with the K-12 students. It had toresult in the K-12 students being motivated to complete chemistry, physics, and trigonometry inhigh school.

The classic list of soft skills is found at careerbuilder.com (Lorenz8). This list startswith a strong work ethic and positive attitude, which are challenging to teach. The moreteachable skills include good communication skills, time management, problem solving skills,and teamwork skills.
