That's probably the most challenging part.” (Professor H). In this quote, the participantdescribes his frustration in deciding how his new course should present new content and satisfystudents’ expectations. This challenge can be related to their lack of experience designinglearning experiences for engineering students.Teaching challenges – implementing/using new technology or teaching methodsWhen faculty were asked about their experiences in the classroom, most described issues usingthe university’s learning management system, managing technology in hybrid settings, or usingteaching

public schools comprising students with varying backgrounds,experiences, strengths, and needs, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)educators are key to integrating student interests with their lived experiences. In the currenttechnology-rich era, where every teenager has a phone glued to their hands, it has becomepertinent to design school-based educational activities that stimulate and build upon thoseinterests. Students’ motivation levels increase when they combine their experiences with learningactivities. Similarly, research indicates that integrating science, math, and engineering conceptspositively impacts student engagement with engineering design and skills [1].

Thesefactors require long-term engagement with the participating teachers, and a blended approach offace-to-face and online learning has been facilitated by our colleague at CSATS [21]. Specific to K-12 engineering PD, there is not a clear description of the knowledge andskills needed for teaching engineering, in part due to the ways that states certify teachers—themajority of engineering teachers are trained as science or technology educators and few haveengineering experience [13]. Neither national STEM education reforms (e.g., [1], [3], [22] northose from the state-level [23]) will improve the education system alone, so high-qualityengineering PD experiences are essential for

According to national statistics, only 32% of undergraduate students in STEMdisciplines are female and this percentage is decreasing as women dropout from STEM asthey move forward in their education. The analysis of the interviews revealed the mainbarriers, challenges, and issues influencing females and ranked their importance. A keyoutcome of the study is the importance of support, mainly from family and teachers, as it hasthe biggest impact on building confidence and retaining female engineers in their careers.Keywords: Transitional economy, STEM Education, Gender Gap, Female Engineers,Kazakhstan.1.

Engineering Excellence was created as an urgent response to a COVID-relatedsuspension of in-person learning and bridge programs, not effort to study a particular engineeringeducation research hypothesis. Meanwhile, several lessons were learned; • Creating a program that captures in-person type activities i.e., slides versus GoodNotes. • Using Zoom technology to streamline administrative tasks while the instructor focuses on creating an engaging class. This allowed enforcement of video engagement. • Simulating the homework, quiz, and test expectations of a credit course will elicit student behavior as if it were for credit. • Moving group work to the beginning of class and the addition of attendance points decreases the

As pointed out by recent reports,the increasing global competition is due to the aging of the current aerospace workforce and thefact that aerospace and
