K-12 Students1. IntroductionRecently there have been a rising popularity in the use of robotics as a vehicle to expose K-12students to the STEM disciplines. A common practice is to have the students build remotecontrol robotic vehicles for competitions such as the various First USA Robotics Competitions1.However, the robotics profession is not just focused on remote controlled mobile robots butrather involves stationary industrial arms running autonomously doing repetitive tasks. Ourapproach is to go beyond having the students simply build the robot and control it using a remotecontrol to teaching them more advanced engineering concepts more closely related to theprofession. We still aim to introduce STEM, and engineering in specific, to K

engineering education will leave students with an incomplete view of engineering (Moore, Tank, Glancy, & Kersten, 2015; Carr, Bennett, & Strobel, 2012). Science education researchers have argued that it is important for students to understand of the nature of science because it expands student understanding beyond scientific inquiry, the primary activity of science (Bartos, Lederman, 2014). In a similar approach, K-12 students should also understand the nature of engineering, not just engineering design (the primary activity of engineering). A better understanding of the nature of engineering would provide a foundation for students to better understand engineering. Literature Although research into the nature of engineering for K-12

The social license loosely refers topublic acceptance, but the term is usually invoked without clear definition [1]. Advocates for theSLO define it as “the level of tolerance, acceptance, or approval of an organization’s activities bythe stakeholders with the greatest concern about the activity” [2]. From its original use in thepulp and paper and mining industries in the 1990s, the term has since
