One ofour research questions is “How can teaching be redesigned to support students in applyingknowledge and skills in real-world problems?”Literature BackgroundTo understand how knowledge and skills can be applied from foundational modules to projectswith a real-world context, the transfer of learning must be scrutinized. As such, any changes toeducation or teaching must incorporate an understanding of the transfer of learning to bettersupport students.

Because EPICS isconstrued as a service-oriented learning experience, the program inherently encourages a diversegroup of student participants. In other words, EPICS is not billed as an engineering course, butrather as a service-learning opportunity [15], [16]; this diversifies the students who are interestedin engaging with the program. Finally, EPICS features an adaptable curriculum that can bemolded to fit any of the following options: i) in-school model EPICS is a required course: anexample is where the school uses the EPICS course as a senior capstone experience; ii) in-schoolmodel

The myriad entrypoints to this specific engineering program (changes in major, transfers, career changes, stop-outs, etc.) punctuate that first-year-in-engineering may not be synonymous with first-time-in-college. As enrollment patterns continue to change across higher education, it is imperative thatengineering programs are prepared to support students and the variety experiences and needsthey bring to the classroom.

Finally, forthe high school, STEM prepares students for successful post-secondary education and beyond1.Among the four areas of the STEM, the research in technology and engineering education inelementary and middle schools is less mature because those subjects are not as commonly taughtin K-12 education.
