. Educators increasingly recognize the challenge of finding quality curricularmaterials for integrated STEM education. In this study, forty-eight teachers participated in ayear-long professional development program on STEM integration funded by National ScienceFoundation (NSF). Teachers designed twenty STEM curriculum units as a part of the project.Each STEM curriculum unit includes an engineering challenge in which students use or developtechnologies to solve the challenge and integrates grade level appropriate mathematics (dataanalysis and measurement) and one of the three science content areas: life science, physicalscience, or earth science. The study aims to evaluate the STEM curriculum units developed bythe project teachers. We also

Forthe teachers involved in the program we describe how participation influenced their leadership,perceptions of adoption educational innovations, and willingness to provide more opportunitiesto engage their students in authentic STEM research.The participants also provided several recommendations for improvement to the summerresearch program. For the students, these included more materials in advance and a morestreamlined onboarding process to allow them to get up to speed on their projects more quickly,consistent access to their supervisors, and work that is

, students often lack the background and are not provided with the necessaryguidance for using expert prototyping techniques to maximize project outcomes6,7. Today’sengineering design curricula commonly view prototyping as a phase, a singular activity thatoccurs only once after performing engineering analysis8. This limited use may contribute tostudents' underutilization of prototypes. As a result, students may be missing out on the greaterpotential of prototypes that professional designers benefit from9,10. This untapped potentialcannot only have a negative impact on the creation of new products and services; it can also limithow universities prepare students for professional careers and competitiveness in today’seconomy.An increased focus on

Our proposition is that while engineering education has advocated designmethodologies that indirectly address uncertainty and teamwork, such as the human-centereddesign approach [12, 13] and project-based service learning [14, 15], we may find a more directapproach to design, uncertainty, and teamwork outside of the engineering discipline.Research Methodology and Description of DataWe employ constructivism as the theoretical framework to explore our research question.Typically in constructivism, we consider the foundational questions “How have the people in thissetting constructed reality?
