However, the impact of mobility is moderated by the industrysegment, suggesting that the significance of early career movements varies depending on thecontext.Within the context of boundaryless career theory, the scholars emphasized core competency-based perspectives underlining the knowledge-driven nature of faculty careers (Beigi et al.,2018).

Initially implemented as an emergency measure to address school closures,online modality has since been embraced by numerous higher education institutions due to itsinherent advantages [1, 13], which include enhanced flexibility, increased interactivity, and theability for students to pace their own learning.Historically, online engineering programs have faced skepticism, particularly due to concernsover the lack of hands-on lab experiences.

Research demonstrates that neurodivergentlearners contribute unique strengths to STEM fields, including innovative problem-solving, exceptionalattention to detail, and advanced pattern recognition capabilities [1]. Despite these strengths, neurodivergentstudents encounter barriers in conventional educational settings. These include sensory overload, challengeswith time management, and limited access to tailored accommodations, often leading to frustration, isolation,and academic underperformance. For instance, the sensory demands of large lecture halls or the unstructurednature of group work can overwhelm students with ASD or ADHD [2].

Implications forsupporting PSTs in engineering-integrated experiences are discussed. Introduction Nationwide engineering and coding standards in K-6 curriculum [1], [2] make instructionin these subjects essential for elementary teacher preparation. Along with content andpedagogical knowledge, preservice teachers (PSTs) need a belief in their ability to teach, alsoknown as teaching self-efficacy [3], [4]. Accordingly
