Engineering design reaches across integrated learning experiences (i.e. STEM education)and technology education (Kangas et al. 2013) because it requires differing knowledgebases to solves ill-structured design problems (Jonassen 2000). In return, students learnapplicable disciplinary content while also improving their problem-solving capabilities. Inits simplest form, “Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component,or process to meet desired needs” (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology[ABET] 2016, p. 3). Integrated, problem-based learning environments are deeply dependent on communication skills (International Technology Education Association [ITEA]2000), which means students will need various supports in order to collaboratively solve adesign problem with their peers
