certification. While this goal has merit, it would require a great dealof time and expense for TEA and the state. An initial and more achievable goal is tocreate the Pre-College Engineering/Architecture Academy Program (PEAP) as a K-12integration of engineering and architecture concepts and skills into the foundationalcurriculum areas by aligning and correlating the instructional activities to the TEKS,particularly in the science TEKS. This serves two immediate purposes. First, it wouldprovide the application of experiential (hands-on), critical thinking learning experiencesthat serve as a format to teach the TEKS. A fact that must be accepted is that programsthat do not reinforce the TEKS are not considered, much less implemented in most Texasschool

This first conversion exercise was performed entirely by theinstructor of record with no Python background to judge the difficulty involved in making theplanned departmental wide conversion the subsequent year. This course was selected to be agood test case as the course included 10 significant programming exercises and onecomprehensive programming project and is largely seen as the foundational computationalclass for BME students following their initial introduction to programming class taken
