I do. This will definitely ensure that my students are comfortable with engineeringdesign process” (12masp, DR4, Y3). An upper elementary teacher indicated that she wasconnecting her work from the institute to a unit on space science, which was part of the regularof the grade level science curriculum: “I have the criteria and constraints template. I love this forso many projects! I will be using this in greater detail, as well as the other design planningtemplates later in the year. I have a giant floor map of Mars and was given four Thames &Kosmos remote-control space explorer machine kits. My students will work in teams to design,build, calibrate and test Mars rovers on the floor map” (JD, RT1, Y3). Another teacher indicated

[12].Social capital can be considered to consist of resources such as information, influence, andreinforcement that support individuals who belong to a social network through purposive actions[31]. This ‘capital’ is generated through investment by individual members of the social network,such as participants and facilitators of a teacher PD, in building trust and creating channels formutual recognition and acknowledgement. The returns can be seen as resource exchange, creationof intellectual capital, and cross-functional team effectiveness [32]. Researchers have reported thatthe quality of teacher-student personal relations and teachers’ enthusiasm for science teaching areimportant indicators for effective teaching [17]. Theories championed

ongoing COVID-19 pandemicoffers a complex context in which students can experience ambiguity with an engineering designchallenge as an iterative process of divergent-convergent thinking while focusing on the bigpicture. Students can learn with an emphasis on systems thinking, making decisions in acollaborative team environment; and managing uncertainty in social processes [1]. Theconversations around how schools could function during the pandemic offered a uniqueopportunity to engage students in problem solving about a situation that they are experiencingthemselves.In the US Southwest, three state universities came together during the early stages of the 2020pandemic lockdown to create a virtual design competition for high school students.

, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career pathways hasoften been limited, particularly for students in high needs schools. This study reports the resultsof a university-based professional development intervention for school counselors, whereparticipants engaged in training in academic preparation for engineering study, outreachopportunities, bridge programs, as well as the variety of engineering disciplines accessible tostudents. University faculty in engineering and science education designed and implemented theworkshop. Preliminary data from select counselor participants (N=11) indicated that few hadteaching experience before becoming a counselor, they advised an average of 251 students/year,they had little knowledge of the Next

conducting lab experiments with materials sent directly to their homes, somecompleting their experience fully online, and some completing portions of lab work in person oncampus. Each teacher developed an engineering lesson plan based on the corresponding center’sresearch to be implemented either in person or virtually during the 2020-2021 academic schoolyear. Research posters, created with support from graduate student and faculty mentors, werepresented to industry partners, education partners, center members, and the NSF. Support for theteachers as they implement lessons, present posters, and disseminate their developed curricula,has continued throughout the year. Common survey and interview/focus group protocols,previously designed specifically
