However, this initial enthusiasm requires careful moderation to prevent it fromeclipsing the core content goals and to mitigate the risk of activity fatigue, which can emerge fromrepetitive LbE use. A critical issue noted was the difficulty in connecting these engaging activities withthe design thinking framework comprehensively. During the Explore phase, LbE effectively facilitateddesign ideation, promoting hands-on exploration. Yet, the efficacy of this phase hinged on the structureddelivery of LbE sessions.

Bringing real-world problems into the classroom via capstone problems and other hands- on exercises is not only the most effective way to spark interest in engineering, but also teaches soft skills like problem solving and collaboration. 3. With so much screen time on mobile phones, computers, and other electronic devices, engaging with students and incorporating soft skills into lesson plans is very difficult. 4. Internships and paid employment are great opportunities and motivators. However, a strong, skills-focused program can easily mold future engineers as well.Faculty

Following theirNUWC visit, teachers participate in ongoing professional learning workshops (i.e., fall andspring) where they learn to use the 7E model of STEM instruction (Eisenkraft, 2003) to guidetheir lesson planning and implementation and reflect on their lesson development with theirpeers. Aligned with our framework, engineering design-based instruction is at the core of thismodel.
