makeengineering practice relevant to more students and situate it in real context. To examine problemdefinition and delimitation as a practice, we drew on Crismond & Adams’s (2012) InformedDesign Teaching and Learning Matrix and the NGSS definitions of Problem Definition andDelimitation [32]. Positioned as the product of scholarship of integration, the Informed DesignTeaching and Learning Matrix represents an effort to consolidate discussions of early andexperienced engineering design practices into a more easily consumable structure for researchersand practitioners. The Matrix outlines seven patterns that contrast beginning designers withinformed designers. Two patterns, Problem Solving vs. Problem Framing and Skipping vs.Doing Research related to

many areasof expertise, always highlighting the true nature of engineering through the Habits ofMind, improving students’ attitudes towards learning in STEM disciplines, improvingteacher’s attitudes towards teaching in STEM disciplines, and recruit future engineeringstudents to engineering. [11]The overall goal of supporting diversity is accomplished through a variety of research-basedtechniques. The initial, primary goal of appealing to girls remains, but the very sametechniques that appeal to girls promote maximum inclusivity, which is itself appealing to girls.Summer camps are 30-50% female and other programs are either 50/50 male/female ormajority female (for example, girl scouts). The only exception is occasional boy scoutprograms, but
