In thiscontext, we seek to answer these questions: 1. To what extent, and in what manner, did the nature of the graduate students’ comments during case analysis change over time? 2. To what extent, and in what manner, did the graduate students’ perceptions of teaching and of themselves as teachers shift over time? 3. How did the graduate participants perform as first-time teachers of record, compared to first-time teachers of record who were not embedded in the secondary education course?Two of our research questions are

In addition to teaching technical skills,engineering programs must prepare students for multinational and multicultural teamwork andcommunication, in addition to the ability to “understand economic, social, environmental, andinternational context of their professional activities.”2The necessity for engineering global preparedness has been recognized and spotlighted by bothprofessional and educational engineering communities in conferences, national reports, andpublications.2 The National Academy of
