The project used the learning management system, Canvas, as theprimary hub/activity center for all PD information and activities.The [PROGRAM NAME] counselor PD was split into three phases. Phase I sessions weredesigned to facilitate counselors’ discovery of how engineering connects with a variety ofdisciplines, while learning about inclusive practices and challenges associated with implicitbiases, stereotypes, and stereotype threats.Phase II engaged counselors in hands-on engineering design activities to help them “think like anengineer.” All participants received a mail-kit with materials needed to complete this componentof the PD program. The mail-kit included necessary items for completing all hands-on activitiesthroughout

This in fact is one of the biggest challenges for the instructor, learning how to effectively and efficiently deliver the course content with value added
first-hand how software is used to manage traffic acrossvarious transportation systems.Furthermore, 40.7% of the participants included rising sophomores who needed more direct andrelevant experiences to understand the role of software engineers in creating systems to trackaircraft and monitoring traffic flow.

rather than valence, instrumentality, and expectancy specifically. Themes pertaining toshifts in undergraduates’ assumptions or expectations included their recognition of theimportance of hands-on learning, their surprise at how engaged the K-12 students were, and theirdiscovery that young students did not know what engineering was. In addition, theundergraduates seemed divided on “whose job” it is to increase awareness of engineering as acareer field, suggesting that they began to consider the broader societal issue of how to increaseparticipation in engineering.
