Thecoding of the interviews was done by the principal investigator. The first transcript was coded bythe principal investigator and the social scientists were in consensus with the initial codes. Theinterviews were structured around three themes: 1) Who are leaders (society, technology, etc.)and what are their attributes? 2) What inspired the engineering undergraduate student to take onleadership roles and the lessons learned and/or skills developed from these experiences?

have already looked at the use of physics education technology, aka PhET, providedevidence that computer simulations are beneficial to learning STEM-based content (e.g., Bandoyet al., 2015; Zacharia & Anderson, 2003). Prior research also showed that simulationexperiments could enhance college students' learning as much as hands-on experiments(Finkelstein et al., 2005). However, there have been few efforts to use simulations to facilitatethe integration of engineering design with the scientific inquiry for non-STEM majors. In thisvein, our study discusses the importance of interactive simulations for teaching and learning achallenging STEM-based domain – physics – specifically for the college of education students(e.g., Koponen &
