The pre-survey responses were checked to see if customer wasmentioned in their visual representations. For the post reflection, the number of reflections inwhich customer was mentioned was counted and a few specific themes were identified.In the pre-survey, only one out of the thirty one participants mentioned customer and thisparticipant indicated that s/he had been exposed to the concept of engineering

participated in the RET program at LUCollege of Engineering. This six-week program, open to all high school teachers in the STEMdisciplines in Texas, sought to advance educators’ knowledge of concepts in design andmanufacturing as a means of enriching high school curriculums and meeting foundationalstandards set by 2013’s Texas House Bill 5. These standards require enhanced STEM contents inhigh school curricula as a prerequisite for graduation, detailed in the Texas Essential Knowledgeand Skills standard. In the mornings, teachers attended daily workshops to enhance theirknowledge of topics in advanced design and manufacturing before embarking on applicableresearch projects in the afternoons.
