based on the developments overtime. Certainly, the use of technology in engineering and mathematics is necessary in the modernworld. Technology is integrated into everything engineers do, and engineering students mustdevelop skills with learning and using various forms of technology.For mathematics, utilizing technology leads to faster and larger quantities of calculations that canbe performed, which are clear advantages. However, it has been shown that the theoreticalmathematical ability of modern undergraduate engineering students has mostly decreased overthe decades. Part of this decline is due to the focus in classrooms on application-based teachingand using technology to perform calculations instead of allowing students to think

The project-based learning isextensively being used for teaching engineering design through capstone or senior designcourses. This is partly due to requirements of accreditation bodies [2].Considering the fact that teaching and research are two most important functions of highereducation systems, the integration of them has been an attractive idea. However, as reported byHealey [4], there are strong feeling among academicians on relationship between research andteaching.

Dr. Suazo’s central work is on exploring learners’ integration of different types of knowledge when working on tasks. Following Dewey’s (1938) theory of experience and Schwab’s (1969, 1983) conceptualization of curriculum, Dr. Suazo explored the concept of personal practical knowledge (Elbaz, 1981) with an eighth grade mathematics teacher. This construct encapsulates different ways of knowing that teachers refer to when interacting with their students. She has also explored K-12 learn- ers’ experiences working on STEM units and tasks involving real-world contexts. For example, as part
