The study was based on a combination between qualitative and quantitativedata.The workshop experience was mainly based on the following phases:1) Analysis of the designs according to the requirements of the mission;2) Redesign of the model, taking into account the limitations of teachers’ technical knowledge;3) Construction of the new design;4) Organization and execution of a training course;5) Launch of CanSat, which collects data from different sensors;6) Analysis of the measured parameters, such as temperature, pressure or acceleration;7

Additionally, requiring “mastery learning” – in which a“passing” score on a topic indicates a relatively high level of ability, not just “good enough” –left me more confident that students had learned something and that they were well prepared forfuture applications of the course material.References[1] Linda B.

not elaborate on thewriting learning objective, we identified four writing learning goals implicit within the course. Students should foster a professional identity in the field of nuclear weapons and arms by 1. developing an attention to detail with regard to both technical content and writing requirements, 2. recognizing the diversity of professional genres and being capable of learning and adapting to new professional genres, 3. learning nuclear concepts by writing, and 4. appreciating that writing is a process.The first learning goal, to have students develop care for detail, was apparent from examining theassignments (Table 1) and the grading scheme.

Case Study of Elementary Students’ Conceptions of Engineering Across STEM and Non- STEM SchoolsIntroductionWith the inclusion of engineering practices in A Framework for K-12 Science Education [1] andengineering standards in the Next Generation Science Standards [2], engineering instruction isgrowing increasingly common in elementary classrooms in the U.S. One approach to increasingengineering instruction is through schools with an explicit focus on science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and national policy documents in the U.S. have calledfor the development of such schools [3]. However, a clear vision for what K-12 engineeringeducation should include and how it should be implemented is
