Medicine (IM) voice the needfor professional development programs to develop teachers’ knowledge and skills for integratingengineering into instruction 5. Therefore, providing professional development for in-serviceteachers has the potential to improve teachers’ engineering knowledge and increase studentinterest in engineering. Previous studies underscored the importance of teacher guidance for students inimproving students’ views of engineering and choosing STEM fields for their future career path6,7 . Bearing in mind that teachers lack knowledge about engineering and how to integrate it intotheir lessons 8,9, researchers have created professional development (PD) programs to improveteachers’ knowledge. For example, in one study, a two

Given that 95% ofconsumers live outside of the United States, it is important for students to gain internationalexperience (Daniel, Xie, & Kedia, 2014).

Programs like these would also offer a kind of support systembetween fellow students and the teacher, helping encourage young women to stay involved in thefield.
