An exploratory k-means cluster analysis further identifiedstudents belonging to four clusters. A potential implication of this study for engineeringeducation is to highlight the importance of students’ confidence in problem-solving skills forsubsequent performance. Importantly, this study presents students’ perceptions and appraisals ofthe course activities that impact their problem-solving confidence.IntroductionEngineers are problem solvers and thus fostering problem-solving skills during their academicendeavors is extremely important [1]. Problem-solving is defined as a process used to obtain abest answer to a context or situation [1

, construction has been booming throughout the USA. The construction industry is one of the nation'slargest industries and one of the largest sources of employment. Employment in construction is projected to grow 6percent from 2020 to 2030 [1]. At the same time, since projects are becoming more complex, attaining a bachelor'sdegree is an increasingly important requirement for obtaining access to high-demand, well-paying careers in theconstruction management industry [2]. The demand for construction education graduates has increased markedly inthe past several years. As a result of this demand, construction education programs flourish throughout the nation [3,4].

Each 1-credit module in the series wasdesigned to run for four weeks and focused on different areas in BME such as Tissueengineering, Computational Modeling, Medical Device Development, Drug Development,Regulations, and Neural Engineering. Learners' enrolled in one or multiple modules and engagedin experiential learning for 4-weeks to gain knowledge and skills relevant to the BME area offocus in the module(s).

is important to briefly consider several types of definitions and select which type ofdefinition that we will employ in this paper.In Chapter 3 of his book on formal logic, Clark [1] described three commonly used types ofdefinitions: connotative definitions, denotative definitions, and ostensive definitions. To helpillustrate the differences between these types of definitions let us borrow Clark’s example andconsider the varying ways to define the term eligible voter. A connotative definition defines theterm by listing the necessary and sufficient qualifications that attach to those to whom the termvalidly applies (e.g., a human being, over the age of 18, and who is a citizen of the geographicalor political region in which the election

However, in many cases the survey instruments developedto collect demographic data lack the nuance required to fully capture the diversity of lived experience amongall members of the population under study. In particular, the LGBTQ+ community is one that remainscritically understudied. Recent studies have begun to examine the unique difficulties that LGBTQ+ peopleface in STEM careers and education, which include navigating coming out in the workplace [1], harassment,and professional devaluation [2].

What is lesswell-known is that professional engineers are also great visualizers. In tests with more than30,000 professionals [1], engineers demonstrated the highest level of spatial visualization skills,followed closely by architects and other STEM professionals. A more recent study shows astrong correlation between spatial visualization skills and creativity and technical innovation [2].This leads to the hypothesis that undergraduate engineering degree programs should producegraduates with well-developed spatial skills if we are to produce engineers who are capable ofsolving the

from pilot tests with students.IntroductionIn many engineering classes, active experimentation is an important step in the learning process[1], [2]. Through this activity the learner is able to translate an abstract concept into practicalapplication. Translation of abstract principles to real world concepts is often achieved throughinstructional laboratories that typically require significant space, time, and faculty resources. Toaddress the heavy burden of labs on these resources, remote or fully virtual labs have becomemore popular in different areas of STEM in the last decade, especially with the increase in thenumber of online classes offered [3], [4], [5].

In particular, the design of bolted steel connections requires numerouschecks using both the tension member limit states of AISC Chapter D and the bolted connectionlimit states of AISC Chapter J [1]. Students often end up confused about the limit statecalculations, unable to connect the written mathematical formulas to physical behavior.On assessments, the instructor requires the students to sketch failure paths for the various modesof failure. However, students seemingly have difficulty identifying where the basic tensionmember limit state failures occur, let alone the more complex connection limit states.
