Engineering Education at Virginia Tech, where she directs the Vir- ginia Tech Engineering Communications Center (VTECC). Her research focuses on communication in engineering design, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring communication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication, effective teaching practices in design education, the effects of differing design pedagogies on

. As a K- 8 pre-service teacher educator, she includes engineering in her elementary and early childhood science methods courses and developed and taught an engineering methods course for middle school teachers. She also developed a graduate-level engineering education course for PreK-6 teachers. Dr. Lottero has provided professional learning experiences in multiple schools and school systems in Maryland. She has co-authored numerous engineering-focused articles for the teacher practitioner journal, Science and Children, and presents her research regularly through the American Society for Engineering Education. Her current research includes investigating how K-5 students plan, fail, and productively persist, and how

redefinition with others, including school counselors, who may supportstudents’ understanding of the applicability of engineering. The support structures made available through the provision of the PD and support fromthe team of engineering educators leading the activities were identified by the educators asessential in building both confidence and enthusiasm. A novice educator stated in their letter: Through the PD you will work with lessons from several units. The lessons are very thoroughly planned but do allow flexibility to make lessons more authentic for your students. The E4USA team are very accommodating and relaxed. It was a very productive and worthwhile professional development. I feel much more confident

].Program FundingRespondents to this survey showed that technology education in the form of afterschool clubs isincreasingly prevalent, more than doubling since Sanders’ study [36]. Such clubs help build apipeline towards Technology and Engineering careers. As technology education in after-schoolprograms continue to flourish, future studies should be conducted to investigate the benefit ofcorporate and community partnerships, especially from the perspective of the 30% of surveyrespondents who felt that a major barrier to having an outstanding technology education programin their school was due to a “lack of financial support.” Studies should also assess theaffordances of these afterschool informal settings in generating student, particularly female
