affordances for authenticity of role-play-basedproject work in a Swedish upper secondary software engineering course. The project requiredstudents (aged 17–18) to assume the role of software engineer employees at a web-designbusiness with the task of creating a website for a gaming company, where the course instructorassumed the role of the web business owner. The six-week project included the formulation of adesign plan, back-end programming, developing and refining the design and layout, adjustingcontent for accessibility, and publication of the web site. Inductive analysis of observations fromthe unfolding role-play in five student groups (total 22 students), and interviews with fourstudents and the teacher exposed salient themes related to

elementarygrades, many elementary teachers report a lack of time, teaching self-efficacy, and disciplinaryknowledge for planning and enacting engineering learning experiences in their classrooms [4].To address these challenges, professional development workshops and graduate courses havebeen developed to support elementary teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge and teachingengineering self-efficacy. Indeed, recent studies have shown that these standalone professionaldevelopment experiences can result in significant gains for in-service elementary teachers’teaching self-efficacy and reduce their perceived barriers to teaching engineering in theirclassrooms [5], [6]. However, this raises the question about how elementary preservice teachers(PSTs), those

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

Thepreliminary results from the first year of implementation (2022-2023 academic year) suggest thatsimilar to the original study, there is an increase across some of the student constructs, includingstudent engagement. This finding was also supported by engineering teachers’ input aboutstudent engagement in the classroom. As the study progresses into its planned 2 nd and 3rd yearsof curriculum implementation, we will be able to further discern the extent to which multipleyears of course enrollment might differentially impact the attitudinal factors of interest (i.e.,dosage effects

Engagement in the classroom can be difficult to study because of the widevariability in how engagement is defined, how types of engagement are distinguished, and howthese constructs are measured. While behavioral, emotional/affective, and cognitive engagementconstitute the heart of engagement [11] researchers have expanded these categories to includesocial-behavioral, volitional, and agentic engagement [11–12]. Past research on studentengagement in science and engineering classrooms centers around core scientific principles likeengagement through argumentation with evidence or working in groups while planning andtesting designs [12].Indicators of student engagement may look different in

While the concept and practice of transferring learninghave always been intrinsic to educational objectives, it was not until it was defined as an explicitgoal of education plans that it was formally named. Fundamentally, ToL asks students to applytheir learning to contexts different than where they originally learned them [3]. ToL is central inengineering education, given the complex nature of problems in engineering and the tailored,problem-specific solutions they demand. In engineering classrooms, learners must applyfoundational concepts creatively and flexibly in varied contexts [6]. ToL can be promotedthrough strategies like inquiry, problem-based, or project

The students volunteered answers about their mode of transportation, suchas taking the bus or driving with a parent. This initiating question prompted a conversation abouthow the vehicle operator knew how to get to the destination in the most efficient way possible.The discussion about the mode of transportation transitioned into a conversation aboutnavigation applications and their route-planning algorithms. The familiar topic of navigationapplications served as a starting point for curiosity about how the “best” route is selected.Students volunteered answers about the factors that the algorithm might consider when selectingthe best route, such as
