students’identity development and subsequent interest in STEM courses and careers (Morgan et al.,2016). Yet elementary teachers often have little preparation or background to teach engineeringand need support to be able to integrate engineering design into elementary science classroomsettings. Thus, research must examine the ways that elementary teachers verbally supportengineering practices. This paper explores how elementary teachers verbally support students’engagement in engineering practices in an NGSS-aligned unit. In particular, this paper comparesthe same teachers implementing the same curriculum across two class sections with differentstudent populations. By exploring teacher talk across two different student contexts, we aim tohelp the field

This paper proposes to extend a typical mechatronics course beyond traditionalengineering topics, and to modernize the mechatronics instructions with complementary quantumengineering topics. With the recent rapid advances in quantum technologies such as quantumcommunications, sensing, computers, and algorithms, it is imperative that next generation ofengineers be trained in quantum technologies, and prepare them for their future careers in the ever-changing industry in such areas. Furthermore, due to such progress and advances in the fieldsassociated with the applications of quantum mechanics, the integration of quantum technologieswith classical mechanical systems will be inevitable both in terms of educational and

several issues with employing the university hiring graph. First, a very smallpercentage of graduates actually get hired by universities and hence this is a small sample of thetotal population. Second, a university professor’s tenure system biases the hiring graph towards a“survival bias”. Given that tenure decision is made within 5-7 years and a typical professor’scareer may span 30 years, most of the information in the hiring graph tends to reflect professorswho get through the tenure process.Third, the longevity of a typical professor’s career makes a hiring decision that reflects on thatprogram for a long period of time.
