Key to this process is current teachers, and evenmore critical, future teachers (pre-service). This work is particularly interested in the engineeringtraining of pre-service teachers during their engagement with middle school students, theirunderstanding of their role in strengthening the engineering pipeline, and their development ofSTEM lesson plans. Engineering faculty instruct pre-service teachers to explore STEM issues ina capstone course entitled “Contemporary STEM Issues”.

LearningIntroductionThis paper describes a case-based, mixed-methods study of how K-12 teachers support andscaffold student learning in a Problem-based Learning (PBL) engineering lesson. The studyexamined how K-12 engineering teachers planned to support student learning using scaffolding,how they implemented scaffolds during PBL engineering activities, and how they reflected upontheir PBL engineering lesson implementation.PBL in engineering educationEngineering practice and other design-focused fields involve solving complex problems, often incollaborative teams. Generally, these engineering problems do not have a single solution andrequire multifaceted skillsets from many domains. However, engineering students often findthemselves unprepared to manage messy
