Same is true forengineering knowledge and attitudes. Therefore, developing engineering knowledge,skills, and attitudes cannot be relegated to single coverage within the curriculum. Topicsmust be introduced and wrestled with early in the curriculum, sustained throughadditional application during intermediate years, and engrained through integratedapplication during senior design.

In most engineeringundergraduate curricula, throughout the sophomore and junior year, design is not necessarily afocus. Some efforts have been made in an attempt to incorporate design through every year ofthe engineering curriculum. Some of these notable efforts include the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) initiative implemented at various universities and the Institute forDesign Engineering and Applications (IDEA) at Northwestern University, both of whichshowcase a completely restructured curriculum. While the CDIO framework and the IDEAprogram have been proven effective, not all institutions desire or are practically able todrastically restructure their

A thematic analysis of the data revealed that teachers associated computationalthinking with specific coding activities, an interdisciplinary subject, and a problem-solvingprocess.IntroductionOver the years the presence of engineering as well as computer science (CS) education in K-12classrooms in the U.S. has increased. In essence, numerous programs and curricula have beendeveloped to support pre-college engineering and computer science education for formal andinformal learning settings [1-3]. This presence and integration of engineering/CS in K-12 is animportant phenomenon due to the implications it has for the future of STEM education [4].

However, due to the limited computational resources available for classroominstruction, the problems used for illustration and laboratory assignments are limited to simplecanonical types. This means that students will not be able to analyze realistic problems withpractical applications, which are inherently complicated, computationally expensive, and requirehigh-performance computing (HPC) clusters that take advantage of massive parallelization.
