The study reported in this paper explores the use of the EngineeringDesign Process (EDP) as a framework for learning science in a middle school classroom. Thissection of the paper presents a review of the literature on approaches to the integration of scienceand engineering as well as the relationship between student interest in a topic and their desire tolearn more about that topic.IntegrationIntegrated STEM education allows students to make connections among the disciplines ofSTEM[1], but presently, there are many forms of this integration with no universally adoptedmodel[2].

The system is modelledin VHDL and can be simulated using Xilinx design tools to demonstrate operation of theprocessor. A basic microcontroller is then created by adding memory-mapped I/O. The systemcan be synthesized and implemented in hardware on an FPGA. The processor can then beinterfaced with multiple peripheral devices to demonstrate a variety of applications.Several Computer Architecture courses exist which use hardware description language modelsand simulation, combined with FPGA implementation.

We reason that a single justification is also a single piece of data andperhaps a single point of failure (for the student) whereas multiple justification options forpotential wrong answers might help build a more complete picture of a student’s conceptualunderstanding. Because the two tiers provide two scores, a correctness score and a justificationscore, we seek to understand the degree to which one can quantify

The degree to which students feel recognizedor seen as the “kind of person” who can do engineering has been delineated as the mostimportant element in the development of an engineering identity [9], [10].

Researchers have explored if students believe others see them as engineers andemphasized the importance of these beliefs [11], [12
