The innovation self-efficacy of participants was measured using a surveythat included items from the Very Brief Innovation Self-Efficacy scale (ISE.6), the InnovationInterests scale (INI), and the Career Goals: Innovative Work scale (IW). The drawings wereanalyzed for Artistic Effort (AE) and Creative Work (CW) by engineering and art evaluators,respectively. The ISE survey results were compared with the AE and CW scores and thecorrelations with travel, gender, and multilingualism on creativity attributes were explored. Astrong correlation between CW scores and AE scores was observed. A negative correlationbetween CW and ISE.6 was found. The CW scores were significantly

advocates forthe interdisciplinary infusion of engineering within the context of collaboratively engaginglearners in real-world problems (NGSS Lead States, 2013; ISTE, 2017; ITEEA, 2020). As such,K-12 STEM teachers need adaptable conceptual and epistemic understandings of engineering asdiscrete disciplinary knowledge, skills, and career paths (Bryan & Guzey, 2020). Understandingengineering in this way means being able to recognize and articulate it as more than merely a sub-construct of science (Van den Bogaard et al., 2021), but rather a related yet distinct disciplinewith its own highly contextual and culturally bound practices, processes, and outcomes (Lewis,2006; Pleasants, 2020).

Problems areoften presented free of broader contexts in which the concepts might apply, and they ask studentsto employ complex math and physics concepts to scenarios that might bear little, if any,resemblance to the real world or their lived experiences. Such issues can present challenges forstudents as they struggle to understand the relevance or application of the concepts they arelearning both within their lives and the engineering profession more broadly. Without makingmeaningful connections between their lived experiences and the content they are learning,engineering students can lose motivation and expectations for success in their academic andprofessional careers (Kosovich, Hulleman, Phelps, & Lee, 2019).One way that
