years of experience working on the NE project. Lack of time to plan andimplement NE was cited as the topmost challenge for teachers.  Inability to figure out books andproblems, pressure from administration, difficulties in lesson planning, group dynamics amongstudents, and safety of students while handling materials were some of the other concernsmentioned in the evaluation.Similar findings were uncovered in a survey of 70 elementary and middle school teachers doneby Coppola, S.M., Madariaga, L. and Schnedeker, M. [7]. They found that lack of time, access tomaterials and resources, and unfamiliarity with the content were major barriers that preventintegrating engineering into the classroom.Research MethodologyA list of potential barriers for NE

stated objectives. The open house led to the most scalable model that UMLhas now adopted with several school districts. The other programs will continue if grant fundscontinue to be sourced. The success of these programs in meeting their objectives demonstrateshow vital it is to jointly consider three factors: Results (learner outcomes), Reproducibility(adequacy of resources), and Representation (diverse and inclusive staffing and studentparticipation). The program partnership rubric was developed to help partnerships plan andevaluate their programs based on these three factors. How the rubric was used to plan these pilotprograms and determine how and/or whether to run them again is explained.Introduction In the United States, students in

Role expectation was defined as “theteacher’s preferred program responsibility” and included three categories: classroom manager,helper, and learner. The categories were based on verbatim wording in the transcripts. Classroommanager referred to teachers having and using their pedagogical content knowledge regardingtheir classrooms. Helpers indicated a desire to help in whatever ways needed and included acombination of jobs such as classroom manager or to review lesson plans for pedagogicalcontent knowledge (e.g., timing and appropriateness of content for sixth grade). Finally, learnershad a specific intent to learn more about

The 2020 offering was slated to be the largest ENGage LSU event up tothen, but unfortunately, the event had to be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Notwanting to lose momentum and knowing that ENGage LSU was having a positive impact onlocal students, the authors decided to host a virtual event in 2021 due to continued limitations onin-person gatherings and began planning how to make this transition. Sixteen faculty membersvolunteered to participate—half of them opted to develop and lead a hands-on activity and theother half performed a demonstration live or asynchronously. 308 students were registered toparticipate from seven middle schools in four different school districts
