et al. found that to enable teachers to teachCS and CT in an integrated manner, teachers need support staff, physical resources, willingness toexperiment, and the ability to notice student responses. Teachers faced many obstacles thatimpeded successful integration of CS and engineering into the elementary curriculum. Theystruggled to justify the time spent on CS and engineering when it was not part of standard,state-mandated curriculum. Despite the obstacles, support staff of PD researchers was a veryhelpful resource that enabled integration.3 MethodologyTo mitigate these challenges, it is first important to identify promising practices and techniques soteachers can be trained in those practices. We wanted to learn more about what

This included reporting a desire for professionaldevelopment for teachers, connections to larger curricular and standards movements, andconnections to industry or community. Several studies have also explored the role of administrators within STEM integrationand broader STEM initiatives in order to understand how administrators can facilitate or hinderthe success of such initiatives [8,9].

In that time, there has been significant growth in the profile of engineering inpre-college education, which may have resulted in these participants having more exposure to diverseengineers than the participants had in previous studies. For example, the Next Generation ScienceStandards (NGSS) were released in 2013 [6]. These standards seek to integrate engineering into thescience curriculum across grade levels. While not all states adopted NGSS, by 2018, 70% of states hadeither adopted NGSS itself or developed state-specific standards based upon NGSS, including Ohio,where this study occurred [39].

The use of mathematical modeling in engineeringproblems has the potential to facilitate mathematics teachers’ understanding of engineeringconcepts and is advantageous as mathematical modeling is a practice standard in themathematics educational standards(i.e., Common Core State Standards for Mathematics [19]).In addition, mathematical modeling in engineering problems can help teachers counter the notionat the K-12 level that engineering is more or less a structured process of trial and error [4].These types of integrated problems would also allow K-12 mathematics teachers to gain a betterunderstanding of the
