During these meetings, ideas were exchanged, problems werediscussed, and innovative solutions were created. This provided each team with a source ofsupport and encouragement and allowed them to take advantage of the collective wisdom andexperience of all of the teachers involved. The fall semester concluded with final presentationsby each team to the entire group summarizing their lesson study activities and future plans.evaluationThe project hypothesis is that improved teacher content knowledge in the area of engineeringdesign and technology related concepts and improved pedagogical skills will lead to higherteacher quality and

Before Results: Diverse Perspectives and DefinitionsThe initial findings before the teaching method were used reveal a rich tapestry of perspectiveson sustainability. Participants articulated sustainability as a multifaceted concept, encompassingthe ability to fulfill needs consistently, maintaining stability, and innovating without harm to theenvironment. Participants acknowledged the importance of conserving the environment, meetingpresent needs without sacrificing the future, and saving the environment for future generations.However, uncertainty was evident in responses marked by phrases like "I don't know," reflectingthe complexity of the concept. 1.1.2.

Student performance decreased with the Robot Hand task in week 6, and increased inweek 7 with the Rover task. This suggests that the nature of the task itself may influence thepractices students employ. For instance, students rarely developed multiple solutions; when theydid, it occurred exclusively during the Rover activity.The Rover task had unique characteristics that likely encouraged innovative problem-solving.

AI gives universities the advantage of increased efficiency, allowingthem to focus their limited resources on other critical tasks like selecting students for financialaid and scholarships [5]. Therefore, it is essential to innovate AI systems that assist in theadmissions process while still minimizing the possibility of biased outcomes.The rapid development of the technology industry led to an increased number of graduate degreeholders yet the diversity among these graduates has not shown comparable growth.
