Supportedand funded in part by the National Science Foundation under the award DUE-1400567, a modular gameframework in both Windows and browser-based platforms have been developed, along with a GUI-basedgame creator that assists in easy creation of new games [8, 9].This paper primarily focuses on assessing our project’s goals and objectives. Based on the project resultsover three years, the game modules appear to be effective in teaching the processes of digital forensics,while the GUI-based game creator allows educators to create and develop new educational games. Usingthe game creator, the game approach can be extended and applied in any STEM education field. In

Thus, BCE2 aimsnot just at improving practices in STEM for greater inclusion and skill development, but alsoincreasing retention of recipients of training or programming in the geographic regions wherethese interventions occur and are often most needed [1]. To do this, partnerships in the BCE2pilot include a diversity of higher education institutions, the K-12 system

Astudent's conceptual understanding is often decoupled from their problem solving ability. Inother words, mathematical solutions are often attained in the absence of fully understanding thephysical system and/or meaning of the result.

To prepare graduates for theworkforce, instructors must help students address the sociotechnical nature of engineering. Mostengineering instructors have been educated with a deep technical focus, have little experienceoutside of engineering, and feel ill-equipped to integrate sociotechnical issues. In this project, weaim to make it easier for engineering instructors to include sociotechnical issues in their coursesby developing modules (with detailed teaching guides and
