diverseengineering workforce, it is important to create a pipeline of diverse students who are interestedin engineering [1]. The Inquiry Driven Engineering Activities using Bioengineering Examples(IDEA-BioE) project was designed to engage secondary science and mathematics teachers inresearch focused on biomedical engineering and translate those experiences into modules thatteachers can implement in their classrooms.Surveys show that interest in engineering among pre-college students, especially girls andstudents from racial and ethnic minority groups, is often low (relative to other STEM fields suchas medicine), in part due to students’ lack of understanding as to what engineering is.

This type of aggregatedobservation data could be particularly useful to enhance instructional space design (e.g., activelearning classrooms (ALCs)), as well as to support other systemic decision-making. In addition,instructors and teaching teams who want to use evidence-based approaches to improve theirteaching, can struggle when trying to make sense of observational data.As part of a multi-year research project studying instructor behaviour and tool use in a large-scale active learning classroom, we have gathered a large dataset generated from classroomobservations.

Consequently, many students graduate from secondaryschool with limited understanding of how STEM concepts are applied outside the classroom. Toovercome this challenge, advocacy is high for student-centered learning that immerses studentsin realistic STEM environments through hands-on experience, self-motivated learning, andinquiry-based projects.

The approach is to dissect a 3Dprinter’s hardware, explain each component’s function, introduce each component’smanufacturing methods, describe possible defects, and elucidate what works and what does not.This allows the PSTs to develop a better understanding of 3D printing process, have a better ideaon how to fix a 3D printer when it breaks down, and design components that are compatible with3D printing.
