In his research, Hynes explores the use of engineering to integrate academic subjects in K-12 classrooms. Specific research interests include design metacognition among learners of all ages; the knowledge base for teaching K-12 STEM through engi- neering; the relationships among the attitudes, beliefs, motivation, cognitive skills, and engineering skills of K-16 engineering learners; and teaching engineering.

According to Klein-Gardner et al. [11], in order to be more effective, RET programs shouldinclude time for lesson development and for training focused on the integration of real-worldcontexts into curricular material. Herrington et al. [17], in their study of a two-year long RETprogram, reported that the impacts of such RET programs could be improved by introducingseparate, guided, curriculum development support.

For instance, 60 percent of the participating teachers indicated that they felt the levelof technical support was sufficient, meaning assistance with integration of the ‘COSMOSEducational Toolkit’ to the curriculum being developed. This was an important metric to capture,as the objective was centered on learning about different technical components of the toolkit andhow to leverage the kit for curricular content. However, a couple of teachers also indicated theywould prefer a greater amount of help during this phase, and another indicated a preference forworking more on their own, indicating some variation in

Further examples show that technical ability, such as high mathematicalachievement, predict higher retention in engineering majors [10]. Other institutional and societalfactors also play an important role, especially for the retention of female students [9].Thesefindings indicate the importance of developing skills before entering post-secondary education.For developing aptitudes in areas such as computer science, computer engineering, and softwareengineering, several countries have mandated computer science in their K-12 curriculum [11].Given this, we anticipate that the most vital delivery of digital skills in an engineering educationcontext happens before students graduate
