The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Modeling in Engineering: The Role of Representational Fluency in Students' Conceptual Understanding (2013, background): “…episodes of intense focus and productivity accompanied by positive feelings and high engagement; Csikszentmihalyi, 1991); students’ work within MEAs has also been shown to lead to remarkably high levels of achievement and longer retention (e.g., Hamilton et al., 2008; Lesh, Carmona, & Moore, 2009).”
Reviewing assessment of student learning in interdisciplinary STEM education (2020, background): “The iterative nature of engineering design is particularly powerful for students since it prompts them to test and revise a solution to create the best possible outcome, encouraging idea improvement in generative learning (Crismond & Adams, 2012; Hamilton et al., 2008).”
Mathematical Modeling: A Bridge to STEM Education (2016, methodology): “…model of STEM education (Roehrig et al., 2012), and they have been started to be used as engineering-based problem solving contents in various recent studies focusing on STEM education (e.g., English et al., 2013; English & Mousoulides, 2011; Hamilton et al., 2008; Moore & Hjalmarson, 2010).”
