Having impaired empathizing abilities generally willresult in difficulties in social skills. On the other hand, systemizing refers to the abilities topredict and control the behavior of systems and to analyze and/or build any kind of rule-basedsystems by identifying the input-function-output rules [4].

We believe these findings reemphasize the need for STEMprofessional-development programs to educate K-12 teachers about engineering and will beuseful to others interested in integrating engineering into K-12 curricula.IntroductionIn 2002, the National Academy of Engineering began advocating to incorporate engineering andtechnology in K-12 education due to the significance of engineering and technology in today’ssociety [1], [2]. In 2013, the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) [3] integratedengineering into K-12 curriculum emphasizing that engineering establishes vital

Lapachelle and Cunningham [5] point to the flexibility of theengineering design process as a possible nonlinear, open-ended learning cycle that may berevisited to rethink, discuss, and formulate new solutions, a quality shared by both the studiohabits of mind and Positive Technological Development. While these skills are learned through apractice and immersion in processes which are often subject-centered these behaviors andpractices hold greater potential for the individual learner than the subject learning alone. Our preliminary research indicates correlation of the engineering design process and

Using motivation and self-determination theory as a framework, the impact of earlyexposure to engineering and mathematics career opportunities is examined. In the larger study weutilized mixed methods to analyze how changes in middle school students’ affective characteristicsmay be linked to their future career decision

As indicated by Wachs [48],engineers have been masters of technology driven mostly by economic motives and influencedby corporations and government. Rasquachismo, on the other hand, is a model that has beenappropriated by those who do not have resources and embrace ambiguity, ingenuity, andresourcefulness - rasquachismo is rooted in experience for survival and resistance. Nonetheless,rasquachismo also becomes a vehicle to the world of engineering. Similar to engineering,rasquachismo seeks to (1) generate potential solutions to a problem, (2) accomplish simple tasksthrough complex ingenuity, (3) generate
