provided and ways to implement themsustainability and consistently in the classroom during a school year. After spending countless hours researching, discussing, attending fellowships,and professional developments looking for an answer to what diversity, equity, inclusion,and belonging looked like in a high school science classroom, I found the answers weremainly theoretical. This paper sets out to describe the process by which I used thesetheories to distill a practical, strategy-based, actionable framework for secondaryscience teachers to use with concrete steps to support their classrooms in becomingspaces that support DEIB.Framework The framework I’ve developed contains 5 elements: intentional grouping,student-driven labs, project
; and 6) Socio-ecojustice. 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. In engineering programs, students are

Based onsuccessful course redesign initiatives carried out with its partner institutions focused onleveraging technological solutions to improve student outcomes, NCAT specifies the elementsfor a successful course redesign, including promoting active learning, increasing interactionamong students, and building in ongoing assessment and prompt feedback (NCAT, 2017). All ofthese best pedagogical practices provide greater opportunities for the practice and feedbackneeded to improve a student’s chances of success in a challenging course.

admitted to engineering studies, higher education institutions that follow the traditional pattern of university-level engineering education in Poland - a five-year program leading to an MS degree – have been faced with an unattractive alternative: either to dismiss a large percentage of students who are not able to meet rigid requirements for the MS degree or to relax these requirements. In practice, for economic reasons, the latter solution has been frequently adopted. This has had a disastrous impact on the quality of education at the Master's level and the preparation of candidates for PhD studies.• In Poland, the education process leading to a PhD degree is quite long.

From this experience, we learned the wonderful experiences of brainstorming and the importance of reaching consensus so that our tentative plan could be done efficiently. 2. Growth of problem-solving ability Because it was the first time that students designed a product, they confronted manydifficulties, for example, they tended to try out an idea without concerning how to make it, therequired cost, and its practicability. It was due to their lack of information gathering skills andhands-on experience: The massage backpack we designed is a vibrator which controls the back from the breast. After testing its feasibility, we found that the slide did not move well, and it even stuck

, 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

This more balancedperspective certainly has implications in engineering, both in terms of educating future engineersand within engineering practice, as other researchers have discussed3,4,5,14,17,20. As Lopez-Mesaand Thompson note, for example20: “The problem-solving approach taken by a strong Innovatoris quite different to that taken by a strong Adaptor. It is not that one is better than another, butrather that the appropriate style be used to obtain the appropriate solution.” Once we understandthat style is independent from level and that all styles
