Guidelinesand rubrics to assess CER have been proposed [12],[13].[14],[15].Previous research has found that community engaged research compared to more traditionalresearch activity is not awarded funding at the same rate [16] or valued equally in academicreappointment, promotion, and tenure [17],[18],[19],[20],[21].

When students engage with design practices, they develop the ability tosystematically tackle complex, socially relevant problems [45] while promoting habits of mindlike creativity, persistence, and ethical reasoning [39]. These experiences help K-12 studentsbuild perspective-taking abilities and learn to consider more diverse stakeholder viewpoints intheir design solutions [2].While engineering design projects provide rich learning opportunities, implementing suchpractices is often challenging.
