This work-in-progress paper discusses STEM-ID (STEM-Innovation and Design), a three-year middle school Engineering and Technology course sequence. STEM-ID courses integrate foundational mathematics and science in an engineering context through challenges that introduce students to advanced manufacturing tools such as computer aided design (CAD) and 3D printing and incorporate engineering concepts such as pneumatics, aeronautics, and robotics. This paper will describe research strategies informing the initial scaling of the STEM-ID curricula following its iterative development over several years during a previous grant. Specifically, we will describe the data sources being utilized to inform refinement of curriculum materials and the project's professional development (PD) model. Funded by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Discovery Research K-12 (DRK-12) grant, the project seeks to scale the STEM-ID curricula in a large urban school district. Utilizing Design-Based Implementation Research (DBIR) as a guiding framework, the project strives for an iterative, collaborative design process that prioritizes practitioner involvement and the consideration of multiple stakeholders' perspectives. In the first year of the project, data collected from six teachers at five schools include surveys, observations, interviews, and focus groups. Drawing on this data, we will present illustrative examples and strategies the project has developed for collecting and synthesizing implementation data and teacher feedback to inform scaling efforts. The findings have practical implications that will help teachers and researchers in the engineering education community scale engineering curricula and teacher professional development models.
