, infrastructure resilience,human comfort, and energy balance. For the course final project, students proposed solutions tobuild a lunar infrastructure habitat, requiring them to extrapolate from terrestrial designsdiscussed in the classroom to extraterrestrial contexts. Instructors enhanced the course materialwith transfer techniques such as analogy-driven learning, real-world problem-solving exercises,and facilitated discussions of lunar design challenges. The FET model was embedded in the pre-course, post-course, and feedback surveys. The authors found evidence of successful transferfrom these artifacts, suggesting that the pedagogy and curricula implemented were effective atpromoting transfer of learning. Furthermore, anecdotal instructor observations

(CS&E) Department was formed to support the growth ofcourse offerings at a small-sized, independent school for girls. Prior to the establishment of theCS&E Department, computer programming and robotics courses were taught by staff membersof the Technology Department. The staff members of the Technology Department wereresponsible for the school’s infrastructure, educational technology support, learning managementsystem, and in-the-moment tech support for students, faculty, and staff. In support of advancingSTEM opportunities for students and providing an academic structure to support thedevelopment of a robust computer science and engineering curriculum, the school allocatedhuman, financial, and space resources to establish the CS&

background (Reilly & Hurem, 2021).This could include investing in STEM infrastructure in underserved schools, increasing STEMeducation accessibility in rural and distant places, and tackling structural barriers to STEMparticipation. Further research should investigate Mira’s educational and career path over timeto explore the change in her interest, motivation, peer influence, and resilience towards STEMfields. Additionally, an intersectional study can be considered to investigate marginalizedstudents, similar to Mira’s situation, to compare the challenges and how they overcome them.Finally, exploring how institutional support influences her engagement and interest in STEM canprovide a valuable output for mounting effective approaches to help
