These competencies includesubject matter expertise, teaching and assessment skills, instructional design and technology,and leadership and professional development. By working towards the systematicimprovement of these competencies, engineering educators can establish themselves ashighly qualified professionals who can make a significant impact on the education system.The international recognition of engineering educators also has a symbiotic effect on therecognition of

The accrediting board for engineering programs in the US and manyschools abroad is ABET, and they define student outcomes as “what students are expected toknow and be able to do by the time of graduation.” One of the Student Outcomes is (3)“demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences” [9]. Clearly,discipline-specific vision statements see communication as an essential component in theprofessionalization of the modern engineer. As educational institutions follow suit, students willneed to become fluent in managing personal narrative and mission in online contexts—as

failures occur. For instance, when a part is damaged, and needsto be fixed during the competition, the students can quickly repair that part because of theirfamiliarity and understanding of how each part is designed and built. In the past, the use ofaluminum proved to be too difficult to employ in fabrication because of the difficulty in TIGwelding. The use of 3D printed joints created Rover failures because they proved to be too weakto hold the frame together. Despite the challenges throughout the years, the students used precisedocumentation for future students entering the Rover Project. Considering the lessons learned,for this competition, the students desire to use 3D printing technology and 4130 chromoly tubingprovided great success in this

African continent. The agenda envisions future African citizenswho would be well-educated and skilled by leveraging science, technology, and innovation. Toachieve the goals of this agenda, there is a need to study the roles of African teachers. This needis underscored by the Agenda 2063 document, which positions these teachers at the frontline,highlighting the key roles they play in achieving the stated goal. Currently, however, theknowledge base for this work, the STEM education literature in SSA, is fraught with the deficit-based approach to research that focuses on the pedagogical challenges of teachers within theregion [24], [25]. This contrasts with how the CSP framework has been used in US K-12research on classroom practices, where scholars

Furthermore, skills around writing proposals toacquire funding to finance these systems, basic project management skills around deploying andimplementing renewable energy systems and developing sustainable business models to ensure that theproductive use of the generated electricity provides sufficient income to sustain a renewable energyenterprise are often not incorporated into education curricula.
