Respondents were 61% male and predominately White/Caucasian (73%).ResultsThis work-in-progress paper presents preliminary results for RQ2, which includes a ranking taskwhere participants were asked to consider the importance of various engineering topics for a highschool curriculum. Respondents were asked to identify the engineering topics as "essential,""nice to have," or "not important" (given a score of 3, 2, and 1, respectively) for two groups ofstudents: high school students intending to major in engineering and all high school students.The selected topics were derived from the FPEL [5], which defines K-12 engineering learning asincluding habits of mind

The intended purpose of the transfer component is to support the learnerin using the skills in other engineering situations. For younger learners to transfer engineeringpractices and skills to another situation requires engaging in multiple experiences [34].

The investment of approximately 2 minutes involved a video-guided meditation. In Lesson 2.1, Mr.Sagun even asked students to identify their current emotions, with some students sharing that they weretired or calm. The mindfulness activities provided a moment for students to reset and refocus, andsupported student engagement in the lessons.Embedding IEP Goals and Objectives With intention, Mr. Sagun ensured that the lessons also supported students’ IEP goals andobjectives and led to opportunities to collect progress monitoring data.

In response, the FPEL was released to provide a holistic view ofengineering learning as a distinct discipline outside of science and other subjects [10]. Theseinclude engineering practices, habits of mind, and knowledge.

To effectivelyprepare engineering students for navigating the demands and nuances of the workplace whilebeing mindful of their users’ needs, it is necessary to train them to consider the design problemthrough both technical and human-centered perspectives [2]. Previous work noted universities’increasing tendency to incorporate HCD in existing engineering programs and to use it as anothermeans of supporting students’ achievement of desirable learning outcomes [2].

As a result, the fourth-grade students engaged in the engineering design process to construct and test dam designs withthe community context in mind, grappled with the ethics of engineering, and offered alternativesolutions. This example demonstrates the power of connecting an engineering task to place, localhistory, and community and cultural contexts to increase relevance and importance for students.Other CRED tasks developed by teachers included areas of interest such as: designing a filtrationsystem to improve indoor air quality, developing a severe weather app to be used by teen drivers,creating a model of a
