througha simple measurement using a smartphone. The concept of using the accelerometer sensor in mobilephones for physics experiments has become a well-known option for STEM teachers [10]. Sincethese devices are readily available to most students and teachers, experiments can be set up at lowcost while generating interest and motivation for learning.The smartphone app called Phyphox™ is used to record the accelerometer readings and report theearth's acceleration of 9.81 m/s² while the phone is resting (which is what we call "Accelerationwith g"). In contrast, the physical acceleration is zero when the phone is resting (or moving at aconstant speed), so there is a virtual sensor that subtracts the constant acceleration (usually by takinginto

Two associated research questions thusly addressed in this study are: 1) whatis the strongest factor structure for measuring the construct of first-year engineering students’long-term, stable maintained interest in the choice of pursuing an engineering career?; and 2)how strong is the fit of theoretically-grounded structural models of the construct of first-yearengineering students’ maintained interest in engineering careers?

Researchers advanced that, in addition to intellectual andscientific reasons, low-income students are attracted to the major by the potential prospect ofemployment after completing a degree [1], [4]. Financial considerations are critical for low-SESengineering students; this includes considerations of financial aid and differential tuition [5].Programs such as the National Science Foundation Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM) have beenimplemented to address financial assistance of low-SES students.

One ofthe most well-known ones is the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator® (MBTI). The MBTIidentifies 16 different personality types founded on preferences in four major categories based onJung’s Theory of Psychological Types. MBTI results indicate whether a person tends to beextroverted (E) or introverted (I), sensing (S) or intuitive (N), thinking (T) or feeling (F), andjudging (J) or perceiving (P). Extroverted people focus on those around them, while introvertedpeople focus within themselves. Sensing people interpret information through facts and details

And while this current qualitative study did notmeasure and compare which learning activities helped the most with the development oftransdisciplinarity among students, our findings showed that first-year engineering students’conceptual schema and perspectives diverged and transformed through their engagement withthe courses’ learning activities [23].References[1] S.

ProgramsWhile literature examining the term “onboarding” specifically is limited within higher education,programs designed to support newly admitted students are commonly described in first-yearexperience literature [20]. These programs are meant to support students’ transition into collegeand have been around since as early as the 1600’s. In fact, Harvard College implemented anorientation program that connected new students with current students in 1636 [21]. The firstonboarding programs were primarily designed to support the transition of new students into post-secondary education. Today’s onboard programs vary among institutions, but it is common tosee one- or two-day orientation programs, first-year seminars, welcome weeks, and commonbook reading
