However, predefined course content requires additional preparations onthe instructor’s side and supplementary resources may be a challenge as well.Capstone design as a showcase for students’ development before their graduation has beenchosen18-24 to engage students in sustainable engineering design experience, especially in civiland environmental engineering areas.

impactful scholarly research. For example, there are opportunities toinvestigate the effect of teacher PCK on student performance and achievement in engineering atthe K-12 level. There’s also a need to explore the relationship between teacher PCK and K-12students’ interest levels in engineering careers. Moreover, evaluation of this type of a programcould generate best practices for developing PCK in secondary engineering teachers. Overall,this Master’s degree program has the potential to increase the number of qualified Technology,Engineering and Design Education teachers in the state of North Carolina, and is a great exampleof how two colleges can work together to find a solution for societal needs.References1.

The difficulties inherent in answering thisquestion have already been alluded to earlier in the paper and relate to the way engineeringeducators are socialized into the university and how “engineering” is defined within academia.Schools of engineering seek the best graduates from their or other schools for doctoral programs.Typically the most successful graduates are recruited directly into the university in a position thathas defined duties in both teaching and research.

Findings suggest that students develop agreater appreciation for language differences, see a connectedness between their engineeringwork and societal impacts, and draw connections more readily between theories presented inclass and practical applications on site. Not surprisingly, our findings also suggest that studentsare more likely to participate in a study abroad program when their class schedules are notadversely affected and when the topic relates to their major discipline.IntroductionStudying abroad at the post-secondary level is frequently advocated for because of the manypotential benefits to student learning1,2,3,4.
