asked to helpstudents become familiar with microelectronics and learn more about potential career paths inthe field. In order for teachers to successfully implement a robust microelectronics integrationthat also addresses the core standards and learning objectives required in their courses, they willlikely be expected to utilize technological tools with which they may be unfamiliar.Teachers are often expected to introduce novel content in their classroom that may not befamiliar to them. Researchers explored this phenomenon in practice when states shifted to theNext Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the presence of science, engineering, andtechnology altered the expectations for student learning [2].
