raters during the coding phase. The standards relatedto engineering were all combined for the data record. During the coding phase, the researchersrated “0”, “1” or “2” for each phrase from standards that contained engineering relevance.Similar coding approaches to the K-12 standards exist in other studies (e.g., Yetter, Livengood,& Smith, 2017). For example, the physics O level, Newtonian mechanics-dynamics, has astandard related to engineering context where the key indicator called “sub-indicator of POD –PI” was rated as “1”. As we agreed that the standard met the key indicator requirement. “(d)recall and apply the relationship resultant force = mass × acceleration to new situations or tosolve related problems.” Another key indicator

andskills. The latter report came after the widespread implementation of the Next GenerationScience Standards (NGSS Lead States, 2013) which include engineering concepts, and thisreport aimed to “consider the capacity of the US education system to meet current andanticipated needs for K–12 teachers of engineering” (NASEM, 2020, p. 1). Following suchreports, the national discourse on P-12 engineering education has shifted from making the casefor teaching engineering in P-12 education to the question of how to do so with excellence. The literature on PCEE has expanded to include new frameworks (Moore et al., 2014),curricula (Chabalengula & Mumba, 2017), and standards for preparing teachers of engineering(Farmer et al., 2014); however, we

According to productivity logics, this is actually how it is supposed to work. Media studiesscholar Melissa Gregg [1], in her analysis of self-help literature, points out that people seekingcareer success are encouraged to identify the types of work that are most important and eliminatenon-essential tasks or delegate them to others. The small team leader is doing what he knows isnecessary for his own career progress. The central tension in this story, however, arrives whenwe consider those to whom the non-essential tasks are delegated, the ability of those individualsto resist or otherwise exercise agency in response, and

The common core engineering curriculum emphasizes threeaspects – 1) Computational Thinking and Data Science; 2) Bio-Inspired Design and 3) Socio-TechnicalReflections. Introductory courses related to these topics have been developed and are required of allfirst-year engineering students regardless of their intended major. The development of these introductorycourses were based on a variety of factors including, trends identified by professional engineeringsocieties, evaluation of job advertisements, discussions with industry groups, exit interviews of studentsas well as review of pedagogic literature (e.g., Talmi et al., 2018; McGunagle and Ziska, 2020; Lavi

is a subset ofmachine learning and can involve large amounts of data. Deep learning involves the use of a neuralnetwork that mimics the biological brain. The neural network is trained by examples as opposedto being explicitly programmed. Deep learning makes it possible for computers to learn verycomplex models that were previously difficult to learn. This allows engineers to build manyapplications and solve problems that were hard or impossible to solve in the past.

This paper follows on the author’s previous work [3], which argues for therepoliticization of engineering knowledge through curricular interventions for a more liberatoryengineering education. Interdisciplinary and context-rich approaches have been shown to elicit deeperlearning in general [4], and to engage marginalized students more effectively [5].
