What is notfully understood is how students address this tension and the integration of mathematical anddesign thinking as they are learning to be engineers.Research QuestionsGiven the gap in understanding of how first-year engineering students exhibit mathematical anddesign thinking as they are transitioning from the pre-college to the college engineeringenvironment, the following research questions were developed to guide the investigation. 1. How do students respond to open-ended, ambiguous design tasks? Page 26.1079.3 2. How do mathematical thinking activities impact design

Moreover, we have highlighted the importance of providingstudents with effective scaffolding to improve their skills in symbolic problem-solving.

Finally, the seven CCCs of NGSS [3] can be used to offeralternative perspectives and make connections across disparate disciplines or situations for makingsense of phenomena or solving problems.The NGSS is structured as performance expectations (PEs) that integrate the three dimensionstogether and that require students to build a conceptual foundation for explaining phenomena

Refactor to understand is a typical reverse engineering pattern in that itdoes not intend to improve the code base or the design itself, but improves themaintainers understanding. Consequently, less emphasis is put on regression testing, andmore on the composition and verification of hypotheses concerning the code.
