The higher educationpress, as well as emerging research, has placed a great deal of emphasis on the challenges facedby faculty and students through the shift to remote teaching. Numerous surveys, both internaland external to institutions, have indicated that many students are struggling with timemanagement under these conditions

It has also been proffered that engineering design has the promise of enhancing andintegrating the science, technology, and mathematics content areas1. However, there are manyquestions yet to be answered regarding engineering design as it pertains to its role in primary andsecondary educational settings. Some of those questions include: what does engineering designlook like in K-122? What do the students do and how do they think when defining and workingan engineering design problem? Through this paper we will specifically explore and examinehow seniors in high school approached and worked through an open-ended engineering designchallenge.Procedures This research was informed by

Tothis end the use of simulation technology and equation solvers was introduced in the courses.EES was predominantly used in the systems courses and interactive software was used in theintegrated mechanics courses.EES is an equation solver with built-in functions for thermal analyses with data ofthermophysical and transport properties of substances (i.e., steam, air, ammonia, common CFCrefrigerants, and commonly used gases).
