Likewise, if first year engineering students were capable of workingcollaboratively, they would have relatively higher academic achievement to those that did not [16].Thus, the module was created with a largely online component and an in-class case study toanalyze within groups of peers.In general, it is essential for students to identify the importance and relevance of the content beingtaught to keep them engaged [7]. From a professional standpoint, engineering ethical issues areoften integrated with technical problems, and students need to comprehend the weight of theiractions as an engineer [17].

retention must be addressed not only at the college level but also inthe K-12 space, specifically around increasing exposure to and an understanding of engineeringamong students. Teacher preparation programs are slowly adapting their curriculum to train pre-service teachers with the skills needed to integrate engineering into their classrooms, but most K-6 educators have little or no background in STEM disciplines. This has led to schools reachingout for expertise from their local communities to incorporate STEM education experiences (Oziset al. 2018). A variety of experiences have been implemented and linked to increased interest inSTEM careers in the last two decades ranging from after-school programs/clubs to one-dayworkshops. Most of these
