Secondly, they gained a more detailed and comprehensive view of thefaculty job. Thirdly, they had the chance to reflect systematically on their professional career.In some cases, the class helped students correct misconceptions directly linked to the idea of balancebetween teaching and

We argue that this misalignment is the result of divergentunderlying educational logics. While K-12 engineering education is notably inclusive, “baiting”student interest with context-driven, open-ended problem solving, higher engineering education“switches” toward an exclusive, abstract fundamentals-first
