ofbroad dissatisfaction with schooling and of inequitable participation and opportunity to learn[20], [21]. Because the wide array of engineering practices offers numerous avenues forlegitimate engagement of learners, technologies and learning environments that engage studentsin engineering practice can provide access to a more diverse set of learners [22]. Throughsubsequent participation in such activities, learning in engineering and developing engineeringidentity become linked and inseparable [23], [24], [25]. As classroom practices and expectationsalign with how learners see themselves as engineers, what is learned is valued more and hasmore meaning [26], [27]. Learners consequently become more ready to operationalize what theyhave learned in
