The call for collaboration was extended via LinkedIn, which yieldeda diverse group of participants, though perhaps not uncoincidentally – all women. Our team,initially intended as a panel for the ASEE 2023 conference, evolved into this collaborative paperafter the panel's rejection, emphasizing the importance and relevance of our stories in the broaderdiscourse of engineering education.Thus for the paper, each author was invited to respond to a set of six questions crafted by thelead author, reflecting on their individual journeys outside academia.

In contrast, anengineering optimization problem focuses on using data collection and analysis to determineand/ or improve the performance of an existing process, product, and/ or system [9]. A reverseengineering problem, on the other hand, encompasses understanding existing processes and/ orsystems to document, learn about or from, and/ or redesign it [9]. Although these engineeringproblems are described as individual problem types, within professional engineering practice,engineers are tasked with working on a combination of the different kinds of problems.

Students' written reflections demonstrated their surprise that their previousnotions of the causes of homelessness and the demographics of individuals experiencinghomelessness were inaccurate or incomplete [31].

CT within the literature is framed as a set ofpractices to engage in problem-solving implying that, within K-12 settings, CT can serve as adisciplinary body of knowledge in its own right, and as a set of epistemic practices for problem-solving and meaning making in general.This framing is echoed in student discourse and practices around CT and engineering design(Ardito et al., 2020; Tofel-Grehl, Searle, & Ball, 2022; Yang, Baek, & Swanson, 2020).

One way that decision-making isemphasized in K8 classrooms is through teachers’ discourse, through their choice to emphasizecertain practices like data-based design decisions [2] or request scientific reasoning andjustifications for design decisions [3]. This framing by teachers can be taken up by students intheir decision-making discourse, leading to complex and productive decision-making.Wendell, Wright, and Paugh put forward the Reflective Decision-Making (RDM) framework in2017, drawing on a qualitative study of urban elementary school students.

First,the number of views were considered in unison with the average view duration. The lessonsthat had a higher number of views with a higher view duration were indicative of betterquality material. Higher quality camps were reflected in lessons with more steady viewership(more consistent number of views) with a slightly higher number of views expected for thefirst lesson since the directions for how to flash the program onto the board were given inthe first lesson.

We were interested in howparticipants’ perceived the role of topical expertise because research suggests engineering faculty see it ascritically important [15]. When asked about the role and importance of a teacher's topical knowledge, participants’consensus was that it could be assumed, rather than being something that differentiated good or bad teaching. Wesee this as important, and likely contextual. Upon reflection, we see it as unsurprising for participants in ourinstitutional context to see faculty as inherently experts to the point that it can be unspoken.

Many observation protocols are meant to evaluate the quality of teaching, rather than simply provide a description of teaching moves [15], sometimes referred to as Teacher Discourse Moves (TDMs). Evaluative protocols tend to require subjectivity and inference and work well in situations where observations are completed by peers, versus external observers [4]. Evaluative protocols are often unstructured and reflective, which does not provide a standardized base for comparison or aggregation of data between class sessions or courses that we are seeking [3]. 2.

Because of the largely homogeneousengineering population, the designs the field produces also fail to reflect a wide range of culturaland linguistic competencies.
