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.

In the past five years, STEM field occupationshave grown by 10.5%, while non-STEM fields have grown by only 5.2% [2]. Although morejobs are being created in STEM fields, and with the need for more innovation in STEM, there isa lack of people entering the STEM workforce after high school. Few secondary educationstudents are interested in the STEM disciplines [3].The percentage of women in STEM fields in the United States is very small with

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

Theimpacts of formal integrated STEM education on middle school and high school students’learning have been well-studied over the past decade, and through these explorations,engineering design activities have been found to potentially have a positive effect on secondarystudents’ science learning.

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
