report that, after the engineering students participated in theprogram, “nearly all of them now expressed interest in becoming educators at some point in theircareers.”10 It is encouraging to see engineers acquire an interest in potentially pursuing K-12teaching as a future career path.Research QuestionsThis research explores how students integrate an ardent interest in pursuing two seeminglydissimilar careers—in engineering and teaching—and how they envision using engineering,teaching, or both, in their futures. Given the diverse student experience inherent in this degreeprogram built around the passion to become “more than an engineer,” this paper addresses twoprimary research questions:1. How do engineering knowledge and teaching knowledge

) educators have soughtinnovative ways for integrating technology in teaching and learning to engage and build theinterest of secondary school students in STEM disciplines as well as to capture their imaginationabout STEM careers. Recent technological advancements have allowed design, development,and commercialization of low-cost mini unmanned aerial vehicles (MUAV) that offer a noveland ideal platform to support STEM disciplines in high school classrooms.1 This paper focuseson one illustrative example wherein four sections of a 9th grade quantitative research course,consisting of 25 to 30 students each, were engaged by a graduate researcher through an ARParrot 2.0 (see Figure 1) MUAV-based lab activity, which considered the research question“How

The science teacher provided additional instructional support during theimplementation of the camp. The TVIs and O&M supported the students in daily living andtransitional skills. Additionally, one undergraduate education student and one graduate studentstudying biology provided insight on current strategies helpful to navigating college. Thesynergistic efforts of each team member contributed to being able to meet the needs of thestudents and provide them with an outstanding opportunity to explore engineering practices.Student application and
