Inorder to understand this world, it is vital to foster engineering and technological literacy amongall people, starting with young children. Technology and engineering are new fields at theelementary school level; however, this is where such education needs to start. Just as it isimportant to begin science instruction in the primary grades by building on children’s curiosityabout the natural world, it is crucial to begin technology and engineering instruction inelementary school by fostering children’s natural inclination to design and build things, and totake things apart to see how they work.1 It is during primary school that students establish firstimpressions of possible career

Instead, students can access course materials andcomplete assignments at their convenience. This contrasts with synchronous online learning, inwhich students and instructors must attend class sessions at a predetermined time.

Martin [3] discussed potential biases in SETs due to several factors such asgender, race/ethnicity, attractiveness, age, course difficulty, and expected grade. These biases canlead to unfair assessments and hinder the recognition of effective teaching methods.Criticism regarding the misuse of Student Evaluations of Teaching (SETs) has been ongoingsince the 1990s. In 1997, McKeachie [4] along with Greenwald and Gillmore [5] cautionedagainst grading leniency that can affect the level of ratings. Fearing that lower ratings couldnegatively impact their careers, instructors might be inclined to grade more leniently,compromising academic rigor and standards. This, in turn, might provide an inaccurate picture ofteaching quality.More recent scholarly
