Brophy et al. [8] reviewed a number of these and included a tableof the programs. The format of these early programs was inspired by programs in Australia andthe United Kingdom. Specifically, the focus was on engineering design and teaching the processby which engineers iteratively evaluate and solve problems. In the United States, this includedseveral programs like Engineering is Elementary, which was developed by the Boston Museumof Science and included readings in

An additional body of literature examines these students’ perceptions of engineeringexperiences, including how intersectionality affects these perceptions [22]–[25]. Likewise, thereis already a body of research from diverse scholars focused on disrupting dominant narrativesacross curricula and educational disciplines [26]–[30]. Disrupting predominant curriculum (andpedagogy) is particularly relevant in order to diversify the field of engineering. For example,Knight et al. found that engineering curricula that emphasized interdisciplinary connectionswere viewed more favorably by women students [31]. This is not a surprising finding, asadditional research supports the
