Milestones as a Guide to Drafting Project to Improve the Application of Dimensioning Specifications AbstractStudents in first-year engineering often face this issue: a lack in their ability to apply theappropriate dimensioning specifications to design problems. Students need this skill in order toproperly, and effectively, describe engineering solutions. This paper describes an attempt toengage learners by involving them in a design exercise where they are required to provide adetailed solution to a problem of their choosing. Through a series of milestones, learners areguided to: develop a design, check for completion, and conduct a final revision of theirdimensioned sketches. It is

Design Solutions (Fundamental)Introduction With the introduction of the Next Generation Science Standards [1] engineering is nowbeing incorporated into K-12 classrooms for the first time on a national level. As such, there isan increased need to understand how children communicate during engineering activities to bestsupport their learning. In elementary classrooms, where young students are in the process ofdeveloping their verbal capacities, gestures from both the teacher and students serve as a keycomponent of communication of new ideas and the processing of social information [2]. Thusfar, research efforts to understand how students of all ages use gestures to communicate andunderstand new ideas have focused primarily on mathematics and
