The work by Pedretti and Nazir provides a strongtheoretical framework that has significantly influenced this research study.The Application/Design Current focuses on solving problems through the design of newtechnology or the modification of existing technology, and is a strong fit for engineeringprograms, given the emphasis on engineering design in the undergraduate curriculum. ThisCurrent focuses on problem-solving skills, experiments, design-build activities and other creativeapproaches. A criticism of the Application/Design Current is that it suggests we assume thatthere is always a need for a technology; where some problems are not best addressed by atechnological fix.

, teachers must firstlearn to think in new ways about the students, content, and the teaching and learning process[23], [24], [25]. Teachers' beliefs about whether they have the knowledge, skills, and resourcesfor students to implement design challenges successfully are essential to the success of theengineering design curriculum [31].Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK)Teachers’ PCK also impacts teacher practices in the classroom. PCK emphasizes three aspects:content, pedagogy, and students. It involves a focus on a specific subject matter concerningstudent learning, curriculum, and effective strategies to employ for teaching [25]. Shulman [24]defined PCK as the “blending of content (CK) and pedagogy (PK) into an understanding of howparticular

It also recognizes that interdisciplinary education can benefit student learningand is often the core at K-5 learning [11], how integration occurs and how impactful it can be onstudent learning still remains unexplored. Our research question for this study was: What doesexisting literature indicate as promising practices when integrating CS into other subjects?To answer this question, we conducted a systematic literature review using the Khan et al.methodology. Systematic literature reviews for integrating CS have also been conducted. Forexample, Rich et al. conducted a literature review in

This study is to demonstrate the effects of implementation the “green” requirement in engineeringstudents’ design projects.MethodologyHigher education institutions implemented education for sustainability in different categories, such as: 1) Teaching and research focus to improve

However, in our practice, most texts and papers lack a strongarticulation and demonstration of various ways to smooth narratives, and do not offerdescriptions of the exact procedure through which narrative smoothing occurs. We thereforehave designed this paper with two ends in mind: First, to promote the credibility and viability ofnarrative analysis for engineering education researchers, there must be greater transparencyregarding how researchers go from a raw interview transcript to a publishable narrative. Second,researchers considering using narrative analysis methods will be more equipped to employ anddefend their methodological decisions in using narrative

Further, intentionally incorporatingthese exercises into the course design communicates to students a strong desire to create aninclusive learning environment. Walden et al. recommended based on research that for creatingan inclusive atmosphere for diversity and equity within engineering education, it is important tohave a positive academic culture for people from excluded identity groups [5].
