For example: “Overall, the projects definitely did a good job at accomplishing the course goals because they were so inclusive of everything we’d been working on and learning.

The central question driving this research is: How does instructors'pedagogical knowledge influence their pedagogical practices for first-year engineering courses?For this study, we chose the model of teacher professional knowledge and skill (TPK&S), whichincludes pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). A descriptive case study was utilized as amethodology for this work to delve into the phenomenon.

fields [4], [5], [6].In recent years, course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been gainingpopularity as a way to engage undergraduate students in authentic scientific inquiry on a largescale [7]. While CUREs have many similarities to traditional laboratory courses or courseresearch projects, the work students do as part of a CURE is framed in a fundamentally differentway. Research projects within CUREs ideally have direct and indirect impact on the broaderscientific community and offer students the opportunity to share study findings with externalstakeholders [8]. Consequently, CUREs represent an overlap between the triumvirate of studentlearning, stakeholder impact, and promotion of a faculty’s research program.In this work
