The final lesson of the module has students consider the question, “How does ahuman’s perspective influence a data visualization?” Teams write their own definition of aheatwave and then reflect on how they think their personal experiences may have influencedtheir definition (see Figure 4). After teams share their definitions and resultant datavisualizations, students reflect upon how human perspectives can influence the algorithms usedto produce data visualizations and ponder how adjusting the definition could support certainpoints of view. Students are asked, “As engineers who use data visualizations to frame aproblem, what do we need to be cautious about/mindful of?” (YES, 2023b). Fostering

The project was themed energy, unifying the science and engineeringfields. During the six-week research experience, 10 new teachers each year were assigned anengineering faculty member on one of five energy-themed research topics, with two teachers perproject. Teachers also received support for developing curricula for the upcoming school year thatincorporated their research experience, in addition to engineering design integration, into theirteaching practices, with the NGSS standards in mind.

Low student-to-teacher ratios have been found to have a positive impact on teacher-student engagement, learning, student motivation, and future academic outcomes [35] - [37]. Theability of experienced educators to draw on their episodic memories to create personalizedimages and examples is crucial in helping students recognize and integrate details that triggercomplex ideas and emotions, leading to a deeper understanding, connection, and formation ofnew concepts [33], [38], [39].

This studyfollows a modified version of Piaget's functioning framework. Based on Piaget's theory ofcognitive development, four major stages correspond to an aging childhood period. Stagesequences are universal across cultures and follow the same order. With this concept in mind, theresearch must consider the different stages of cognitive development as pre-college studentsinteract with engineering education. Ideally, the framework should be able to capture thedifferent stages of the learning phase and holistically define what a quality pre-collegeengineering education should consist of.Research

majors and careers. Based on interviews with and surveys offourth- and fifth-grade girls participating in an engineering outreach program, we questionwhether youth are looking for career role models, and we challenge the assumption that youthwill take up an adult as a role model simply because the adult is presented as such. We questionwhat role these “models” play in the minds and lives of youth and argue that it may differ fromwhat we expect. To be clear, we are not arguing that engineering role models are not importantor not influential. Rather, we think it is important to gain a better understanding of how youth,particularly girls, view these potential engineering role models, which will allow us to optimizethe significance of these adults

and Teaching Engineering Our epistemology is sociocultural, and we view K-12 classrooms as a complex culturalsetting. From a pragmatic perspective, ordinary classroom engineering activities are navigated bystudents in small groups that collectively use epistemological judgments [10]. While it is almostcertain students will learn through participation in any classroom activity, they will not alwayslearn what the teacher intends, so the interesting problems to research are the directions thatlearning takes (Lundqvist & Ostman, 2009). Current elementary engineering education reformspromote engaging students in epistemic practices [11] or the habits of mind [12], [13].
