We also noticed that given the tasks that children were given, the level ofCT competencies they engaged in was different. BackgroundSTEM IntegrationOver the past fifteen years, engineering knowledge, practices and habits of mind have also begunreceiving greater attention at the elementary school level, as these engineering practices facilitatestudents’ skills in solving complex and real-world problems [1]–[3]. Recent studies suggest thatintegrating STEM provides more meaningful environments for students to foster their interestand connections to the real-world [4], [5]. In

The goal of Dr. Morkos’ research is to fundamentally reframe our understanding and utilization of system representations and computational reasoning capabilities to support the development of system models which help engineers and project planners intelligently make informed decisions at earlier stages of engineering design. On the engineer- ing education front, Dr. Morkos’ research explores means to integrate innovation and entrepreneurship in engineering education through entrepreneurially-minded learning, improve persistence in engineering, address

discussion.IntroductionThere is a growing body of literature within the engineering education community about how tohelp teachers learn to teach engineering at the elementary level. Much of what we know comesin the form of what has worked for particular programs, the use of well-tested curricula,standards for teachers of engineering, and an emphasis on engineering habits of mind andengineering design processes [1-4]. That said, there is much more work to be done. According tothe most recent National Survey of Science and Mathematics Education (NSSME+; with +referring to an additional focus on computer science) report few elementary teachers feelprepared to teach engineering [5]. Specifically, only 3% of elementary teachers felt very wellprepared, 14% felt fairly well
