As we synthesize theliterature and our arguments across these levels, we also consider how equitable practices at anyone level reinforces equitable practices at the others. Envisioning socially just engineeringeducation requires thinking within and across all three of these levels.Macro Level Organization of Engineering for EquityEngineering for equity and social justice involves a recognition of the ideologies shapingengineering and the orientations that engineering has towards society. Historically, science andengineering have been shaped by ideologies that are technocratic and exclusionary, oftensubversively framed as rationalistic (Bazzul & Tolbert, 2019; Gravel et al., 2021; Gunckel &Tolbert

repeatedly demonstrated the impact of the educational program on proximalacademic outcomes (Hess et al., 2016; Van Overschelde, 2013; Tran & Nathan, 2010). Forinstance, students involved in the program are likely to pursue a STEM-focused degree aftercompleting high-school, and are more likely to persist until degree completion than students whocomplete a more traditional K-12 experience (Bottoms & Uhn, 2007; Gottfried & Plasman,2018; Lee et al., 2019; Rethwisch et al., 2012; Robbins et al., 2014; Sorge, 2014; Starobin et al.,2013; Van Overschelde, 2013).Prior empirical investigations from the qualitative perspective have provided convergingevidence that the primary barriers to PLTW implementation are costs associated with

ASEE 2023Some of the key barriers to offering CS to elementary school students that have been foundinclude administrators are not supportive, teachers have not yet received training to teach CS, andresources for adoption remain low [4–7]. A key barrier that has been mentioned in past studies isthat teachers have no time to add an additional subject area to their day, particularly since they areimmersed in teaching to their state standards which more heavily emphasize language arts andmathematics [4].Integrating CS and computational thinking (CT) into subjects such as math and language arts hasbeen viewed as a way to mitigate the barrier related to time [8] and to create innovative learningenvironments [9].

. MethodologyParticipants The study involved elementary and secondary educators enrolled in the 3-credit graduatecourse entitled NanoEnvironmental Engineering for Teachers (NEET). Participants attended thecourse either in person, virtually, or in a hybrid format at one of the four university campusesthat offered the course. In 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023, the course was fully in-person; in 2020, itwas virtual, and in 2021, it was in a hybrid format. Of the participants, 34 self-describedthemselves to be male, and 74 were female. Each campus had a different instructor, eachpossessing a unique teaching style and perspective. All NEET participants were invited toparticipate in the study; participation was voluntary, and informed consent was obtained from
