Planned socialactivities also gave teachers an opportunity to process and make meaning of their work withothers outside of their lab groups.The teacher research projects selected for our program are listed in Table 1 below. The list ofinteresting projects reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the topic of computational thinking,while leveraging the diverse pool of faculty expertise at the university. After completing the 6-week (approximately 180 hours) summer research program, each teacher’s goal was to have asolid appreciation for the relevance of computational thinking practices as well as engineeringdesign principles connected

there are no failures in engineering, just opportunities for redesign. Engaging inthe engineering design process within education is intended as a way for youth to practiceencountering challenges and persevering through them to create a solution [4].Helping students learn about, and learn how to use, the engineering design process is a major aimof engineering education [5]. Engineering design is useful in practice because it allows studentsto make mental models concrete and offers time to make decisions, reflect, communicate, andcollaborate [6]. Additionally, understanding engineering design is important because the processis used by engineers in all professional fields [7].

To achieve this, students are paired based on experience andinterest, which helps keep them engaged throughout the course [3]. In this way, students mustbecome familiar with topics of less interest or familiarity, but also thrive by inevitably teachingothers topics they are familiar with, which also helps keep them engaged due to the confidencethey already have with the material they are assisting others with [3] and increases their ownlearning through teaching [4].While the teaching approaches incorporated into the developed course are suitable for

Imagination should also be considered as one of the keycapabilities for the students to develop in system engineering education.

Often these productsrepresent innovative but unproven designs, emerging technologies, or niche products with alimited but passionate consumer base, such as hobbyists or fans of a particular franchise. Somecampaigns represent products in the early stages of development seeking funding to enablefurther testing and refinement of the design.

Another supporting action ca be using a designedceiling geometry configuration that can help to diffuse daylight instead of the conventional flatceilings.The mixed overhang/light shelf became as one horizontal surface, as shown in Fig.11. Oneachievable method to tackle this issue is to take advantage of a white reflective coating on thetop layer of the light shelf finish material. By implementing this strategy, 50% of the floor areaachieved adequate daylighting, which means an additional 30% of the spaces have sufficientdaylighting.

It should be noted that key concepts shown do not reflect allthe topics covered in the course in which an RPi is used. Once RPi is part of a course, it is used bythe student for most of the projects assigned in the course. Therefore, an RPi is used in a targetedcourse for many more topics than shown in the table.
