presented at ASEE increased from 2006-2020. Insome ways, the topics of research stayed consistent over time while some concepts were presentfor only a particular period of time. For example, in each segment of five years, there was a focuson pedagogy (e.g., education, learning, engagement, motivation) and designing games forlearning ( e.g., evaluation, strategies, projects). These concepts were a uniform thread over time.Conversely, special topics of interest appeared and disappeared. Initially, the gaming studies wereprimarily in computing fields and this expanded into other STEM areas over time. From2016-2020, interdisciplinary work increased and gaming research in mathematicsdecreased.With the advancement of VR and AR technology, many games are

level for “research-based learning” which is inherent inthe graduate level but almost non-existent in the undergraduate level. To achieve this research-based learning at the undergraduate level, a new educationalparadigm is needed that, demands a commitment to the intellectual growth of individualstudents, redefines the role of engineering in society, and stimulates students to pursue careers inengineering and research. These goals can be accomplished by integrating research intoengineering education, serving to increase recruitment and retention and enabling futureengineers to become society leaders. To pursue these goals, we initiated an effort to translate state-of-the-art multidisciplinaryresearch examples and accomplishments

This involved engaging with the literature to identify, refine, anddefine the concepts. Four primary concepts (and sub-concepts) emerged as the primary focus ofthe teacher professional development. These concepts are: • Design (constraints, tradeoffs, optimization, prototyping) • Analysis (life-cycle, cost-benefit, risk) • Systems (structure, functions, interrelationships) • Modeling (visualization, prototyping, mathematical modelsProject Goals and Research QuestionsBroadly stated, the goals of the project are to understand how science teachers
