course [5-7]. It is expected that with the development of these skills, higherretention rates of non-calculus ready students could be achieved.Development of the Course:A study has been conducted in an academic institution in the mid-Atlantic region. Participantswere first year engineering students that were non-calculus ready at the time of enrollment in thestudy. This study was reviewed and approved by the WVU-Institutional Review Board.Course Schedule: The course was developed using the CDIO (conceive, design, implement,operate) educational framework and includes activities that promote students’ problem solvingskills, and introduce students to research, experimentation, and engineering design [8-11].

Finally, all use a course coordinator coupled withindividual faculty and/or industry mentors for each team. Team sizes are generally 4-6 students.The sites are also geographically diverse (northeast, mid-Atlantic, mountain west, and southwest)and include both public and private institutions.SamplingParticipants were recruited through a combination of in-person or video presentations from amember of the research team and emails sent through the capstone courses.

-Atlantic region. 2.2.2. Context 2: First Year Engineering Course at a University in the United StatesThe project was the basis of a course called Freshman Engineering Clinic at Rowan University.This two credit-hour course is offered in the fall and spring respectively. The class has twomeetings per week, once in a classroom for 50-minutes, and once in a laboratory for 165-minutes. Students from Rowan University’s five engineering disciplines – Biomedical,Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Computer, and Mechanical - are enrolled in the course anddistributed into multidisciplinary sections. There are currently 16 sections of the course offeredwith approximately 18-24 students in each section. Students work in teams on a semester-long,multidisciplinary

MethodsContext and ParticipantsParticipants included 27 grade K-8 teachers in a mid-Atlantic state. These teachers representedthe first of two cohorts involved in an NSF funded project designed to support ETS instruction.Baseline data was collected on these teachers prior to professional development between Januaryand April 2020. Participants were primarily White (n = 20) and female (n = 23). Teachingexperience ranged from one to thirty-four years (M = 12.6; SD = 10.0). All participants held adegree in education and none had a degree in
