How to best prepare and support teachers to educate students in CT via engineering design?The curriculum, instructional app, and associated teacher professional learning (TPL) are beingdeveloped by an interdisciplinary team, including experts in neuroscience, biomedicalengineering, instructional technology, as well as K-12 science education and research partners.Using design research [28], [29], we are iteratively designing a sustainable and scalable neuralengineering curriculum unit with teachers as design partners.Project ComponentsInstructional ModulesThe instructional modules strategically integrate NGSS life science disciplinary core ideas,engineering practices, and
internal biases. It is equally well-suited to apply more equitableassessment and instruction methodologies. This work in process is a pilot study embedding somenon-traditional assessment methods as well as DEI topics within the coursework to assess thelong-term goal of integrating it throughout the curriculum. They were performed through a juniorlevel course in Systems Thinking and Modeling and a Senior Design Project, both required in theIndustrial and Systems Engineering curriculum.BackgroundDEI in the ClassroomThe traditional engineering curriculum relies solely on teaching the nuts and bolts of what isthought to be needed as an engineer. Many experts agree that these courses do not adequatelyprepare students to enter today’s engineering

When URMs do integrate into the scientific community, such as by formingstudy groups, participating in undergraduate research, and getting involved in clubs ororganizations, their likelihood of completing an engineering degree increases [9], [31]. URMswho leave engineering fields cite a lack of sense of belonging or engineering identity, furtherdemonstrating the importance of becoming integrated into the field [32]–[35].Beyond factors such as these that push URMs away from engineering, research has indicated thatURMs may be pulled towards other careers, particularly by an interest in altruistic and socially-relevant work, which can be difficult to fulfill in a STEM field
