work in which engineers engage and the NASA Mars landing in 2021 was thetheme underlying each of the program’s hands-on projects. Problem-solving was a keyconnector of the subject of science to engineering. Students were given the opportunity to solveproblems just as engineers would while learning how engineers use science in their everydaywork. The NASA Mars landing in 2021, due to the excitement it generated across the generalpopulation, was used as a theme to increase students’ motivation to learn about and interest inengineering by engaging student teams in hands-on and fun real-life applications of theengineering underlying the Mars landing. This also provided a meaningful context for the middleschool students to learn about science

The MERGE platform is inspired by popular mixed reality games, allowing students tosee computer-generated models superimposed into the world through the camera on their mobiledevice. Building on recent advancements in cyberinfrastructure, MERGE is meant to provide anattractive and motivating environment to support students’ geotechnical engineering skills.Throughout gameplay, students’ strategic thinking will be tested through carefully designedgames that relate to geotechnical problems. Additionally, the game uses their GPS to create amap of the real world around them, giving players the ability to explore their local environmentto advance their game progress. Initial gameplay mainly focuses on a lab assignment

My work as a teacher will always mirror my philosophical value of connecting content to the real-world.Similarly, Joshua wrote a lesson in which young adolescents would learn about how systems thatuse artificial intelligence can impact life in ways that are helpful, as well as ways that representpeople unfairly.

The MRI data on engineering studentstaking the force concept inventory test showed that novices and engineering students wouldregister distinct and overlapping patterns of neural activity [6]. The studied engineering studentsshowed that abstract concept knowledge is driven by real world stimuli with multivariate neuralresponse patterns.

Deeper learning advocates that it is only through exposure to authentic disciplinary experienceswith questions and problems with open-ended, unresolved solutions that students a develop deeper,more connected level of knowledge (Pearlman, 2010). The Senior Capstone Project, like PBL and other instructional approaches that emphasize deeperlearning and the development of skills needed for success in college, career, and civic life, has becomeincreasingly popular as schools promote the implementation of authentic, hands-on, challenging, andpurposeful lessons. These approaches are often fueled by curriculum standards such as the NextGeneration Science Standards and the Common Core

Professional development forteachers is considered a key vehicle for educational reform and improving classroominstructional practice [1], [2]. Professional development is integral to increasing teachersknowledge and skills, and to learning effective application of the skills in the classroom. Theplanning of professional development programs that can lead to desired teaching practices is nota simple process [3]. Too often, short term teacher training institutes and after school workshopsare seen as ends in themselves. These "one shot" approaches to staff development may fail toresult in lasting changes in teaching behavior because teachers
