integrate the foreign subject ofengineering, the “e” in STEM education, with little to no background or context. While teacherscan enhance their knowledge of new teaching strategies through attending STEM workshops ator outside of their school, current textbooks fail to include authentic engineering examples andthus offer little to no support to teachers. Also, few textbooks offer content that fostermathematical perseverance and literacy. Instead, these texts prefer to stampede on withoutclarification on algebraic or conceptual steps that may be ambiguous to students. With thesepoints in mind, a math textbook which integrates engineering at a practical and understandablelevel would be immensely valuable as teachers strive to satisfy the new

The cognitivedomain houses learned information, a person’s knowledge and skills. The affective domainhouses emotional responses to this learned information, and determines such things aspersonality, values, and motivation. The conative domain houses instinctive behavior anddescribes how someone will most naturally approach a challenging situation. According toconative theory this is the only part of the mind that remains unchanging throughout a person’slifetime1.

At one extreme, there are so-calledtraditionalists who hold the position that all “educated” individuals should demonstrate a masteryof specified topics (for example, Greek classics), with the topics more or less representing theentire history of western civilization. Examples of adherents of this position are Allen Bloomand Ed Hirsch, academics who have authored the controversial books The Closing of theAmerican Mind 1 and Cultural Literacy 2 respectively.

In recent years, mental wellness hasbeen a rising topic on the minds of educators and legislators to learn how to better serve learningcommunities. Programs and initiatives are often offered but underutilized due to perceivedbarriers preventing students from reaching out for additional resources. Lack of accessibility, thefact that conversations about mental wellness are not normalized within the classroom, and thepressure to perform within the classroom are just some of the reasons students cite for not usingcampus resources.

I was deeply conflictedbecause I had a real passion for DEI work but I struggled to reconcile the activities I wasparticipating in with the work that “real engineering faculty” do. We do not have a department ofengineering education at CSU, so finding like-minded engineering colleagues took a bit of workwhen I moved into this space. After years of questioning whether or not I belong in engineering,as we near the end of this project, a powerful surprise for me is how the journey this projectstarted has completely changed the way I understand engineering. I thought I was moving awayfrom engineering, but I have come full circle and now deeply identify as a “problem-solver” whowants to make

and Teaching Engineering Our epistemology is sociocultural, and we view K-12 classrooms as a complex culturalsetting. From a pragmatic perspective, ordinary classroom engineering activities are navigated bystudents in small groups that collectively use epistemological judgments [10]. While it is almostcertain students will learn through participation in any classroom activity, they will not alwayslearn what the teacher intends, so the interesting problems to research are the directions thatlearning takes (Lundqvist & Ostman, 2009). Current elementary engineering education reformspromote engaging students in epistemic practices [11] or the habits of mind [12], [13]. Thesepractices, based on disciplinary work, are the ways social

Whereas engineers are typically programmed to developnew solutions, entrepreneurially minded engineers are educated in identifying the mostappropriate solution to these newly uncovered needs, regardless of whether they are new orexisting solutions that may be integrated or augmented to satisfy the market need. While thereare multiple definitions for entrepreneurs, this paper posits the definition that states“Entrepreneurs, in the purest sense, are those who identify a need—any need—and fill it. It’s aprimordial urge, independent of product, service, industry or market” [13]. Ultimately, thesuccess of an entrepreneurial engineer depends on their ability to validate, attract, and acquirecustomers who seek to
