These challengesnecessitate thoughtful planning, coordinated execution, and frequent assessment of studentoutcomes to ensure that team teaching remains effective.In engineering education, team teaching takes on additional layers of complexity. The technicalrigor required in engineering courses demands a blend of expert knowledge and pedagogicalunderstanding. However, teaching teams may find it challenging to coordinate professionalinteraction among skilled instructors and ensure that all perspectives are integrated seamlesslyinto the course content [14]. In addition, engineering educators may seem reluctant to share aclassroom with peers or even uncomfortable at being assessed by students and peers alike [15].Looking

We do note that more than half of these projects did not incorporateauthentic engineering design challenges.

might be apparent to college students but not to elementary students [22].Another form of fixation is the students’ tendency to stick to their first design idea [23], [24],[25]. Students either stuck to their initial design idea throughout the whole design process orproduced presumably novel ideas yet with little deviation from the original. Luo (2015) noticedthat the first design ideas were the most frequently chosen by elementary students to furtherdevelop. Two other articles pointed to students resisting feedbacks from teachers and peers aboutimprovement on their design [24], [25]. In both studies, elementary students were asked toexplain their proposed design to the class and receive feedback from the teachers and their peers.The authors

Commitment of Community Collaborators in Engineering Education and Industry (Work in Progress) AbstractThe underrepresentation of neurodiverse individuals, particularly those with autism, in the field ofengineering has been well-documented. The inclusion of these diverse learners must involve innovativepathways to engineering instruction. Additionally, steps must be taken to ensure inclusion and success inboth educational and workplace settings through individualized supports and by effectively preparingeducators, peers, and employers. Engineering Community Inclusion of Individuals with Autism (ECIIA), anNSF-funded project, will employ virtual reality (VR) technology to engage more autistic high

policymakers. This study investigates these possible directions through a lens of majorestablished models of integrated STEM education. Although extensive research has been doneon integrating AI with STEM, work is lacking that translates this concept into concrete entrypoints for integration. To address this gap, this research uses a systematic literature review (SLR)approach focusing on preservice teachers’ (PSTs’) perceptions of AI in STEM education. Usingthe PRISMA model, we gathered related empirical, peer-reviewed articles published from 2020to 2024. Of the 250 initial studies, 26 met our eventual criteria. Content analyses of these surveysrevealed several aspects that may be used to further understand PSTs' perspectives on AI'sinvolvement and

In addition, I believe my review also allows my peer high school students to take a look at this newfound topic and the broader topic of triboelectric nanogenerators to see how we can expand this research and technology for it to become safe during clinical trials and established as a new alternative to battery-powered pacemakers, helping planet health and the health of other patients, as this alternative can help reduce health risks and surgeries associated with the traditional pacemaker. Other than that, this is a fascinating topic that can be taught in a high school health sciences

If possible,multiple trips per school year (perhaps one fall, one spring) would help bring in more students. Itis difficult to comment on benefiting underrepresented students, as Duke (as are most colleges) isexpensive. Some students were attending simply to see what college life was like, while othersmay be specifically thinking about Duke as their post-secondary education. I believe those thatidentified as underrepresented students still found enjoyment and a ‘place’ with Duke, but morecommentary on

In an effort to develop a flexible curriculum tomeet a variety of student interests, multiple stress-related contexts (i.e., test anxiety, sports,gaming) were provided for students to choose.Researcher-Teacher PartnershipTwo teachers implemented the curriculum unit three days apart. They both participated in aweeklong curriculum-writing workshop during the summer, two months prior to implementingthe unit.

Observations from the lessons revealed that role-play induced an experiential learning opportunity requiring the mapping of an abstract data flowdiagram to real life scenarios. An implication of the study is that instructors integrating role-playstrategies should commence with shorter variants, and gradually move on to longer and moreadvanced activities.

no input,with input from peers, or with input from the teacher. A key aspect of their study was exploringthe positions that students take up as they experience design failures. Students take on multiplepositions including observer, tester, idea–sharer, tinkerer, and director. The context of these andother positions determine the extent to which they are productive. For example, Silvestri et al.observed power struggles and disagreements among some student teams as students within themtook up different roles (e.g., one student shifting from observer to tester to director, ultimatelynot including other team members in the design process after failure). Parry and I also observedhow team conflict can challenge productive responses to design
