Despite its promise,implementing COIL programs in engineering education presents specific challenges,including: • Technological barriers: Disparities in digital infrastructure and access remain critical impediments to COIL implementation. Variability in internet bandwidth, availability of hardware, and familiarity with virtual collaboration tools can create inequities in participation. Instructors and students in regions with limited resources may face significant difficulties maintaining seamless communication and engagement during collaborative activities [18]. • Cultural misunderstandings: COIL bridges diverse educational, cultural

Subsequent studies using the DET instrument reported similar findings [5], [6]. There is a lack of research literature devoted to the barriers of implementing engineeringat the K-5 level.
