In the summer of 2017, 2018, and 2019, the Center for Research in Education in AdvancedTransportation Engineering Systems (CREATEs) at Rowan University hosted the National SummerTransportation Institute. The goal of this program is to provide high school students exposure totransportation engineering and other transportation-related education paths. More than 50% fromunderrepresented minority groups, including women, African Americans, and Hispanics/Latinos attendedthe two-week program. In 2017, the program was a non-residential, four-week program; 2018 was a two-week residential program and, in 2019, the program was a two-week non-residential program. In allprograms, the students explored different modes of transportation, such air, road

insight into how to support all students to equitablyengage in interdisciplinary STEM+CS instruction. Specifically, this paper addresses thefollowing research questions: (1) In what ways do elementary teachers verbally support theintegration of science and computer science into engineering lessons and to what extent are thesesupports planned in curricular materials or added in-the-moment? (2) To what extent do teachers’verbal supports for integration differ between two different classroom contexts?BackgroundEngineering in elementary classrooms National frameworks call for K-12 students to engage in engineering projects thatintegrate science, mathematics, and computer science (American Society for EngineeringEducation (ASEE), 2020; NRC

Jill Rogers is the assistant director for ENGR 102 HS at the University of Arizona. ENGR 102 HS is an AP-type, dual credit college level, introductory engineering course offered to high school students.

solutions.Finally, two recent related studies—in 2019 and 2021—by Watkins, Portsmore, and Swansonexamined evidence of effectiveness of their four-course online graduate program in engineeringeducation for elementary ISTs [25, 32]. One aspect of their assessment involved interviewingprogram participants at three distinct points in their program for video of student engagement inengineering within their classrooms. The researchers selected a 2–7-minute video clip thatincluded evidence of student thinking or teacher-student interactions. During each interview,researchers asked each teacher what they noticed within the clip. The 2019 study was a casestudy of the growth of one teacher in the program, Alma. Her video analyses were initiallyfocused on which step
courses, or through research centers [2].However, bio-inspired engineering is less common in K-12 education. In 2019, the NSF funded aK-12 project entitled Biologically Inspired Design for Engineering Education (BIRDEE), tocreate socially relevant, accessible, and highly contextualized high school engineering curriculafocusing on bio-inspired design. Studies have shown that women and underrepresentedminorities are drawn to curricula, courses, and instructional strategies that are integrated,emphasize systems thinking, and facilitate connection building across courses or disciplines[4].The BIRDEE project also seeks to interest high school girls in engineering by providingcurricula that incorporate humanistic, bio-inspired engineering with a focus

* ● Timesheet DueSensor, Signal and Information Processing (SenSIP)The SenSIP center’s RET program was proposed in 2019 to engage teachers and communitycollege faculty in face-to-face sessions. However, because of the COVID-19 conditions theprogram was run virtually with a small group of teachers. The program was funded in February2020 and after mid-March 2020 the decision was made, after permission from NSF, to run theprogram using entirely online tools. Due to the solely online nature of this year’s program, onlinetools became necessary and a clear organizational strategy was required for coherence. ArizonaState University’s LMS of choice was used for the overall management and structure of theprogram, with strong use of modules and pages for
