Abstract
Microelectronics and embedded systems industries are seeking creative engineers to create new and innovative technologies at the same time as a decline in post-secondary engineering enrollment. Studies show that students may lose interest in science, mathematics, engineering and technology (STEM) as early as elementary school, believing that these areas are not innovative or creative. Using the CDIO Initiative framework for engineering education, this study looks at the development of a creative, project-based learning program called Exploring Electrical Engineering, designed to teach an introduction to electronics and electricity through integration with other disciplines, such as English, social studies, physical education and fine arts. By introducing a creative and cross-disciplinary component to STEM education, we propose to increase the appeal of electrical engineering to children who have expressed interest in other subjects, and encourage innovative, exploratory problem-solving.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
