design. MATLAB was chosen due to its blend of text, comments, images,equations, and programming that makes engineering modeling and programming more attractiveto the students that are new to it [1],[2]. One of the most important skills that engineers have istheir ability to do engineering modeling informed by STEM principles. In addition to fosteringengineering design thinking, this newly added lesson aims to develop students’ computationalthinking skills, which are increasingly important in our current economy. This lesson aims tobenefit students in their future career endeavors either in engineering or other fields.Furthermore, to ensure that students are better prepared by the time they reach theirpost-secondary studies, early exposure to

cybersecurity and other tech areas [2]. To address this deficit, concerted effortswere made to recruit and retain females in the cybersecurity industry by providing educational, networking,and mentorship opportunities. As a result, women constitute about twenty-five percent of the male-dominated cybersecurity workforce [3]. Experts in the industry suggest companies can lessen the gendergap in the cybersecurity field by partnering with schools to educate girls, inspiring girls and women topursue technology courses, explicitly marketing career opportunities to women, and promoting women tohigh-level cybersecurity jobs to provide role models for these new workers. [2]Women have earned about half of all bachelor’s degrees, but the proportion of degrees

Alexandra’s research aims to amplify the voices and work of students, educators, and Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) overall and support continued educational innovation within engineering at these institutions. Specifi- cally, she focuses on (1) educational and professional development of graduate students and faculty, (2) critical transitions in education and career pathways, and (3) design as central to educational and global change. ©American Society for Engineering Education

theengineering design process [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26]. However, for students to reap the fullbenefits of BID integration in pre-college, it is important first to prepare teachers who are willing andwell-prepared to teach BID in pre-college engineering [11], [27]. Therefore, exploring teachers’understanding and perception of BID integration in engineering is essential for BID to become anintegral part of the pre-college curricula.Teacher PerceptionsTeachers significantly influence student learning in the classroom since they play a vital role in students'achievement, subject selection, and future career choices. Teachers’ perceptions and understanding ofcurricula influence how they teach. Studies have shown that teachers’ beliefs and
