Importantly, the designs and work that we developedwere based upon the Lottero-Perdue’s observations of real elementary student designs for thischallenge [25].We created the designs and student work rather than using real student work for several reasons.First, we could strategically decide the ways in which the designs were similar and different.Second, after completing this student work analysis task, the participants were able to watchvideo-recorded discussions between two teachers and these student avatars about their designs;this is from our prior work on which this study builds [22].

In this study, weexplored the potential for an explicated ‘engineering problem typology’ (EPT) to serve as aninstructional scaffold for engaging students in ill-structured problem. Toward understanding theimpact of EPT training we conducted pre-/post-EPT problem solving sessions. Six student pairswere analyzed and evidenced change that we argue as positive. All pairs demonstrated a shift intheir problem-solving discussion from pre to post as represented by EPT discourse patterns. Thisincludes explicit identification of the problem type, specifically referencing process stages, and inmost cases, discussions aligned with EPT frameworks. The observed change in discourse

This research also emphasized the importance of sustaining the perspectiveof seeing the “self as whole” and incorporating traditional teachings and lessons with what it meansto be an engineer or technologist. For example, Jaemie merged her identities as a Native Americanwoman engineer by being involved in outreach to fulfill her cultural values, as well as a way torestore balance in her life by returning home. Maintaining balance was necessary for the womento see themselves as whole by honoring all of their identities. Foster [26] highlighted how spacesin which the whole self can be recognized are to

For projects that havelonger time constraints, the engineering process may be cyclical in nature because of theopportunity for student engineers to improve their design by cycling back to an earlier stage. TheNASA Engineering Science and Technology model is a six-stage cyclical design processfeaturing the stages: 1) Ask, 2) Imagine, 3) Plan, 4) Create, 5) Test and 6) Improve [3].Students using the Atman or NASA model typically begin by identifying problems andconstraints to design around. In both, they collect information, consider design alternatives andfinally create and test a particular solution.
