Outreach activities are important asnot all schools have access to STEM coursework and after school STEM programs have beenshown to be more expensive than non-STEM programs [3].

Future research in this area could help to further refineour understanding of civil engineering students’ perceptions of engineering design. Conductinglongitudinal studies or similar studies of midcareer students would provide a more detailedpicture of the ways in which definitions of design change across a students’ course career. Doingso with additional attention dedicated to past and concurrent course work as well as co-op andinternship experience might help to surface and solidify connections between student responsesand educational and work experiences.

For example, STEMprofessionals have missed opportunities of participating in design-thinking careers, and artprofessionals have missed the technical knowledge to provide innovative solutions [10]. Inaddition, STEM faculty and practitioners have suffered a disconnection from creativity andabstract thinking, while artistic community members have struggled to keep pace with thequickly advancing technological society [11].In the classroom, educators should encourage the early development of new ideas to fostercreativity and innovation with engineering design.

projects can foster the inclusion of students with learning disabilities (Daniela and Lytras, 2019; Nanou and Karampatzakis, 2022). In the case of tertiary education, industrial-scale robots are used to prepare students for careers in industry by emphasizing aspects such as hardware, software, and human-machine interfaces (Nagai, 2001; Brell-Çokcan and Braumann, 2013). However, industrial-scale robots are expensive to purchase. In addition, there is usually some oversight over their usage due to time-sharing and to prevent damage, which prevents "free-play" by students. Some solutions to this include the use of miniature robots and the use of online labs (Mallik and Kapila, 2020; Stein and Lédeczi, 2021). Though these reduce the cost of the setups

It can be judged on the continuum from low to high.Thinking, skill, and knowledge interact with each other to control students’ career or vocationaldevelopment.
