construct is self-concept, one’s collection of beliefs about oneself [16]. Whereas both identity and self-conceptfocus on the perspective of oneself, self-concept primarily focuses on the cognitive aspect,whereas identity incorporates feelings and beliefs with the cognitive. Because self-concept isconcentrated on one’s skills, abilities, physical aspects, or behavior, it acts as a guide to identity[17]. As such, self-concept is particularly relevant to career choices [16], such as engineering. Inaddition, self-concept has been conceptualized as having different facets related to different areasof one’s life, such as academic self-concept, professional self-concept, social self-concept, etc.[16]. These facets can have more or less specificity and be

Class sizes andpedagogical choices such as project-based learning are frequently constrained by the number anddisciplinary background of available faculty instructors.Prior work by our group has presented a framework for balancing competing curricular andadministrative needs [1]. Over the past six years, through stakeholder feedback and formativeevaluation, we have developed and continually refined a large-enrollment (ca. 650 students) one-semester FYE course taught by one to two faculty members. This course features a mixture ofinteractive didactic content and two multi-week, open-ended design

Here,we offer students the opportunity to learn how to determine their own success through theirchoices and effort.Throughout the different assessments, we used Canvas’s ‘essay’-type questions frequently.

Team success mustbe evaluated by measuring project outcomes, student engineering performance, the cooperativelearning experience and student satisfaction [4],[6]. This study provides a focus on the students’perceptions of their teamwork opportunities, their teammates’ engagement and their projectoutcomes, with respect to their team role and role execution. The goal is to determine how theiropportunities for assuming desired roles affect their attitudes towards collaboration, theirperception of team success, and their appreciation of the team experience.

Despite these differences in education exposure, prior scholars’ findingsshow that these student groups are generally exposed to similar engineering education,predominantly the United States education systems, for instance, ABET Standards [39], norms[39], cultures [38], and approaches [38]. These could diminish the equity of education andlearning experience between domestic and international students, for instance, in the efforts toadapt to the American higher education system's norms, cultures, and expectations [30].One of the reasons that international students have wanted to come to United States universitiesis to prepare for careers, either in the United States or in
