paper.IntroductionThe President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology [1] stresses the importance ofengineering in the United States. Over the past few decades, the need to promote and improveengineering education in the US has fueled several science education reforms. One of the latestsignificant reforms is the introduction of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). TheNGSS launched in 2013, and 88% of the states are now using the NGSS or other standardsmodeled on the NGSS. These states account for approximately 71% of the US students [2]. TheNGSS requires students to learn engineering within their K-12 science curriculum [3]. Likewise,K-12 teachers are expected to teach engineering within K-12 science curricula [4]. However,most teacher

Although families are often an overlooked factor in thepositive engagement of students in STEM topics, family relationships and dynamics have a large bearingon student achievement, interests, enthusiasm, and beliefs surrounding ability [1]. When considering howto engage students with engineering topics, family members, especially those in a parental or senior rolecan act as a catalyst for engagement. Individuals acting in a parental role are the main contributors to astudent’s career aspirations, and support behaviors related to science from

Educators canseek to create just and equitable classrooms by cultivating in teachers a critical consciousness ofsocial justice and its role in engineering (Shuster & Giesemann, 2021). This consciousness canbe developed by tying the interactions of classroom life (i.e., talk, texts, technologies) to largerissues of engineering in society. This involves the recognition that engineering is mediated by‘ideologies, beliefs about learning’ and is encoded in ‘representations, spaces and socialpractices’ of the learning environment and of the broader societal context in which engineering ispracticed (Gravel et
