As a result, universities and other higher education institutions haveinitiated curricular
characteristics of effective PD identified in the literature include:(i) sufficient duration; (ii) focus on subject matter; (iii) hands-on activities; (iv) attention toproblems of practice; and (v) institutional support for implementation. It is further suggested thatteacher learning is best promoted by a set of complementary approaches, such as summer PD andonline discussions as follow up [24].Traditionally, the focus of teacher PD programs has been on preparing teachers to follow, ratherthan to create or adapt, innovative, research-based curriculum materials [25]. However, whenteachers do not understand the underlying model of the expert-designed curricula provided tothem, they tend to pick and choose elements of the new curriculum to fit their
diverse, interdisciplinary teams [26]–[29] and as part of theleader-mentor-learner triad [30]–[32]. As with all EF training, these leadership skills will bepresented using a variety of role-playing and discussion exercises to allow participants toimmediately practice new skills in the context of engineering research and practice.In addition to the materials being developed by Tau Beta Pi and Michigan State Universitythrough the NSF-funded project, the EF facilitators are lending their professional expertise to thedevelopment of additional curriculum modules. For example, a module on Design Thinking isbeing developed based on work done at The Pennsylvania State University. The development ofthis module responds to the recent growth in popularity

SJ concerns [3], we work with more technocratically oriented STEM majors. For thisreason, we decided to start our research by inquiring into perceptions that students have aboutcontextualized and decontextualized problems (Con/Decon), and what resources they would useto try to write contexts, in order to understand how we might successfully coach them to come upwith context on their own.Evidence suggests that the invisibility of SJ concerns in engineering curricula factors into a“culture of disengagement” [2], [5], [7]. This scholarship posits that the divide between technicalknowledge and social concerns in engineering curricula impacts undergraduate engineeringmajor retention -- since students who are more driven by social/humanitarian
differences in such factors as climate, natural resources, and economic conditions. Thus, technology use varies from region to region and over time (MS-ETS1-1). ● New technologies can have deep impacts on society and the environment, including some that were not anticipated. Analysis of costs and benefits is a critical aspect of decisions about technology (HS-ETS1-1 and 1-3).Yet, helping youth understand the complexities of sociotechnical issues in engineering is nosmall feat, and teachers and researchers alike struggle to support students’ understanding of themultiple and multi-faceted factors involved in implementing engineered solutions to address ahuman need or desire. Nonetheless, failing to do so at best limits students
learning works best for them. Whenpresented with a problem, they are equipped to quickly identify which style of learning andtechnique(s) best apply to the situation enabling them to address problems in a timelier manner.While metacognition and SDL skills sets can be applied to familiar problems, they also providevalue in approaching unfamiliar problems. IRE alumni consistently reported earning confidencefrom peers and supervisors through a versatile ability of routinely solving unfamiliar problemsmaking the alumni valuable workplace assets.Future Directions and SignificanceWe have identified three areas of research we intend to pursue. First, we will continue totriangulate the think-aloud data with students’ self-report interview data but on an

teamwork, communication, data analysis and problem solving [16].Additionally, a recent review of international literature identifying skills needed by graduate andfuture engineers found teamwork and communication skills to be among the top five mostemphasized skills [17]. Despite the body of evidence that should inspire engineering and other STEM faculty toincorporate collaborative activities in their courses, lasting changes in teaching practice havebeen slow to take place [2], [18]. Fairweather [2] noted that faculty perceive curricular changewill take valuable time away from research activities critical to promotion and tenure. This is notnecessarily the case, as barriers to change for STEM faculty have been researched and

In fact, according to Hanover research, one key element forretention practices among higher education institutions in the United States and Canada is socialconnectedness [4].College students not only develop the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for a professionalcareer after they graduate, but also explore social connections throughout their collegeexperience.
