solutions.Finally, two recent related studies—in 2019 and 2021—by Watkins, Portsmore, and Swansonexamined evidence of effectiveness of their four-course online graduate program in engineeringeducation for elementary ISTs [25, 32]. One aspect of their assessment involved interviewingprogram participants at three distinct points in their program for video of student engagement inengineering within their classrooms. The researchers selected a 2–7-minute video clip thatincluded evidence of student thinking or teacher-student interactions. During each interview,researchers asked each teacher what they noticed within the clip. The 2019 study was a casestudy of the growth of one teacher in the program, Alma.

In 2019, the NSF funded aK-12 project entitled Biologically Inspired Design for Engineering Education (BIRDEE), tocreate socially relevant, accessible, and highly contextualized high school engineering curriculafocusing on bio-inspired design. Studies have shown that women and underrepresentedminorities are drawn to curricula, courses, and instructional strategies that are integrated,emphasize systems thinking, and facilitate connection building across courses or disciplines[4].The BIRDEE project also seeks to interest high school girls in engineering by providingcurricula that incorporate humanistic, bio-inspired engineering with a focus

The program was funded in February2020 and after mid-March 2020 the decision was made, after permission from NSF, to run theprogram using entirely online tools. Due to the solely online nature of this year’s program, onlinetools became necessary and a clear organizational strategy was required for coherence.

The goal was to expose middle and high schoolstudents to engineering, so they consider pursuing engineering in college.In 2008 EPIC evolved to both day and residential programs and was offered for three weeksserving 300 students. This gave out of state students the opportunity to participate. The cost of theresidential program was $1,400 for one week.Then, from 2017 to 2019, EPIC went to a full residential program as the demand for theresidential program increased and the day program decreased.
