Engineering Education, 2019 Students’ Experience with Collaborative Engineering Design Challenges in a Middle School Engineering Course (Evaluation)IntroductionThe recent emergence of engineering as a curricular priority in K-12 schools has spurred thedevelopment and implementation of new approaches for engaging students of all ages in theengineering design process [1]. With this increased prominence of engineering as a K-12discipline, education researchers have begun to explore the outcomes of engineering educationin the context of K-12 schools. One review of P-12 engineering students from 2000 - 2015documented an increase in engineering education research during this period, highlighting anumber of themes within the literature

Considerable resources over decades have been spent on initiatives tobuild awareness and interest in the STEM fields among young people from traditionally marginalized groups,support their success in K-12 schools, recruit them to and matriculate them in 2- and 4-year engineering programs,reduce their attrition from these programs, and facilitate their pursuit of further academic studies and
research needs withinengineering education. We provide a comprehensive definition of complex systems educational research(Hilpert & Marchand, under review; Jacobson et al., 2016) and an overview of methods specific to theapproach (Hollenstein, 2013; Koopsman & Stavalomsis, 2016; Strogatz, 1994). After this, we delineate aresearch-based framework that can be used to develop and conduct complex systems research andevaluation. We identify two areas within the field of engineering education where complex systemsresearch can be useful: 1) educational research focused on student interaction and cognition and 2)assessment and evaluation of collaboratives such as grant funded projects and communication/publication networks.

These approaches includeproblem-based learning [4] and project-based learning [5], which are described as student-oriented,collaborative, self-directed, and focused on real-world challenges. Service-learning (SL) is anothertechnique used in engineering curricula, which engages students in community service to nurture a senseof social responsibility [6,7]. There are common goals among these strategies which align withUNESCO’s competencies, including understanding stakeholder needs, developing
