Specifically, theinstruction is designed around “anchored inquiry” of interesting challenges2,3. Students’ inquiryprocesses are guided by an instructional sequence built around a learning cycle called the‘Legacy cycle’3.Each of the five legacy cycle modules in this unit includes a new challengequestion, interviews with experts in the imaging field to guide their inquiry, and lectures andhands-on activities to equip students in answering each challenge. Each of the hands-onactivities was designed to use materials under $25, enabling the curriculum to be integrated invarious classroom environments

Educators should aim to incorporate AI into their classroomsin ways that help students develop these skills so that students will be better prepared tocontribute to society in the future 3 .However, there are concerns about ethical implications relating to the grey areas of AI, such asprivacy, bias, and accountability 4 . Applied specifically to education, AI’s integration riskscreating an over-reliance on external tools, potentially hindering students’ ability to recall andapply knowledge independently. Educators have also raised concerns about the potential for“academically dishonest

For example, students who participate inengineering-related events outside of class are more likely to feel connected to the community ofengineers and see more value in persisting to degree completion. In addition to the structuralobstacles of curriculum and pedagogy, Seymour and Hewitt noted that a lack of identificationwith STEM careers was an additional factor influencing students’ decisions to leave thediscipline.22 This is an element that

require a paradigm shift in re-conceptualizing their role as a teacher. Due to this difficulty, tapping both individual andcollective capacity are best within the context of professional learning communities (PLCs),which are characterized by shared norms and values, reflective dialogue, de-privatization ofpractice, collective focus on student learning, and collaboration. These PLCs set the foundation,so teachers can begin inquiry into their practice in a new way for increased student learning.The integration of Professional Learning Communities and Project-Based Learning serve toaddress the issues discussed above.

Ideally, this process ensures that competencies are sequenced correctly, thatstudents have the freedom to create their own specializations, and that the amount of challenge isspread across the curriculum so that students aren’t overwhelmed in one semester andunder-challenged the next semester. These representations are often based on the curriculumdesigner’s best estimates or based on an existing curriculum. These heuristics do not alwayscorrespond to students’ actual pathways through the curriculum.By plotting students’ temporal pathways through the curriculum, it is possible to see where in thecurriculum students are struggling most, to

The “Do” reflects on inquiry-based learning, active research experiences, collaboration, communication, data management,and creativity. The focus of “Be” is on mindfulness and encompasses mental health, social andemotional learning, and character development. The KDB’s holistic approach to learning assistsin fostering critical and
