And then if they did do it, they just did it on their phones. So Iknow that the lesson we learned is how – was the lack of engagement and how we're gonna try toovercome that because technology was provided, hotspots were there, it's just they weren'tengaged in learning.” Even though teachers implemented multiple communication

Generation Science Standards(NGSS) [2] highlight the importance of including engineering in the K-12 curriculum. Theimplementation of NGSS requires that teachers understand engineers’ use of design in their workas well as the ways that engineering is connected to science, technology, and society. The waysin which an engineer’s work connects to science, technology, and society is dependent upon thespecific context in which they are working, and offering students opportunities to engage withproblems situated within realistic engineering contexts can help students meaningfully learnmathematics and science [3]. Providing these opportunities for students will require teachers tohave an understanding of the work of engineers and the way that work connects
