Even though the main intent of a Capstone design course is to provide theskills and attributes mentioned above to senior engineering students, majority of the students donot demonstrate these skills in their Capstone design courses. It is the authors’ strong beliefs thatexperiential learning model should be incorporated much earlier in an engineering curriculum inorder for the students to experience engineering design process and design skills, supported bythe recent findings by Conger et al.8.

The idea of fostering systems thinkingskills in engineering curriculums has been increasing, as these skills are anticipated to facilitateunderstanding of emerging complex systems that often consist of interoperated and multi-perspective subsystems [4, 8]. In [9] the integration of systems thinking components in theexisting educational system is proposed through lectures, labs, case studies, or capstone. In [8]the application of systems thinking is demonstrated across diverse engineering disciplines,including fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and mechanical, electrical, nuclear, and environmentalengineering. The authors advocate integrating these systems thinking skills as an adjunctapproach to gain more insights, as the complexity of

However, few practicing elementary school teachershave the academic backgrounds that allow them to teach coding in a manner that goes beyondallowing students to learn how to code through trial-and-error experimentation and as an additivelearning activity such as an after-school program. Current content and practice standards call forthe use of argumentation in the teaching of mathematics and science [1] [2].
