Teachers were supportiveand recommended expanding the program to other schools.We adapted a college-level lab experience to make it more accessible to high school students andenhanced the campus tour to provide them with a holistic view of university life. We have foundthat the key takeaway from this initiative is the ease and success of the endeavor. Our programrepresents a new contribution to pre-college engineering education by providing high schoolstudents with hands-on exposure to engineering concepts and a glimpse into life as collegestudents. Our future plans include making this an annual event, expanding it to other schools andstudent communities, and improving non-lab activities to

Implications are provided in the ensuing discussion.Qualitative FindingsFirst, we analyzed the 26 empirical studies to better understand PSTs’ perceptions of AIintegration into STEM education. This qualitative analysis focused on identifying PSTs’perceptions, experiences, and challenges in considering adopting and implementing AI withinSTEM lesson plans. The results revealed several unique themes that are summarized below.Opportunities and Concerns in AI-integrated STEM educationThe first theme that emerged was the collective agreement among PSTs for more proactive useof AI tools in teaching methodologies.

To effectively engage elementary students in engineering practices to learn disciplinarycontent and crosscutting concepts, high-quality curriculum needs to be available and accessibleto all, and teachers need to participate in professional learning opportunities. Those learningopportunities should not only include them as learners experiencing engineering as a novice butshould also include pedagogies that are effective for scaffolding design projects and supportingstudents through the process of asking, planning, creating, testing, and improving.

, knowledge, or attitudes learned in onesituation to another learning situation [5]. While the concept and practice of transferring learninghave always been intrinsic to educational objectives, it was not until it was defined as an explicitgoal of education plans that it was formally named. Fundamentally, ToL asks students to applytheir learning to contexts different than where they originally learned them [3]. ToL is central inengineering education, given the complex nature of problems in engineering and the tailored,problem-specific solutions they demand. In engineering classrooms, learners must applyfoundational concepts creatively and flexibly in varied contexts [6]. ToL can be promotedthrough strategies like inquiry, problem-based, or project

Intentional grouping involves several differenttools that help teachers ensure student success.

Results from the pre-test (M = 49.6, SD =22.9) and post-test (M = 82.0, SD = 13.1) indicate that PSTs’ participation in an engineering-focused K-8 science methods course significantly improved their EDE, t(169) = 19.7, p < .05.Similarly, there was a statistically significant increase in PSTs’ EDTE after participating in thecourse (M = 83.0, SD = 13.3) compared to before (M = 42.5, SD = 25.2), t(169) = 21.0, p < .05.The findings suggest that exposing elementary PSTs to multiple engineering design activitieswithin science methods courses improves their EDE and EDTE.
