The curricular unit used in this study was designed and developed with guidance from boththe STEM integration framework [24] and The Framework for Quality K-12 EngineeringEducation [27]. The latter framework identifies nine key characteristics of quality pre-collegeengineering; the first of these characteristics, the Process of Design (POD), is most pertinent tothis study. POD has six sub-indicators which represent the fundamental characteristics of designprocesses: problem, background, plan, implement, test, and evaluate. POD can be broken intotwo stages: problem scoping and solution generation. The problem scoping stage is composed ofidentifying the problem, criteria, and constraints and

Given that the focus of this study was just the engineering design challengeportion of the unit, instances of EBR that occurred during the Process of Design were given oneof three codes: Plan, Implement & Test, or Evaluate. Implement and Test were combined becausethese steps were difficult to distinguish as they were done concurrently by students due to thenature of the design challenge. The iteration aspect of the design process was also accounted for;these three codes were also noted as occurring in the initial design phase or within the redesignphase.The third step was to take a close look at how students
