the survey administered to students in the engineering science course asked about gender. “Other” students either reported “agender,” or reported no gender.I recruited first- and second-year students for two reasons. First, the empirical literature onstudents’ beliefs about engineering knowledge suggests that engineering students’ beliefs remainrelatively stable during the first two years of undergraduate engineering education [15].Conversely, students’ beliefs are likely to change dramatically over the final years of theundergraduate engineering curriculum as they engage in team- and project-based learningexperiences that shape their perspectives on engineering knowledge [15]. As a result, I chosefirst- and second- year students for the

Data for this study were collected during the first phase of a three-phase datacollection process as part of a larger project to create a model of engineering thriving bygathering consensus from engineering experts [2]. We acknowledge that thriving for engineeringstudents includes a breadth of interactions between the students and their environment within thelarger engineering culture and system. From a research perspective, best practices whenconducting rank-order research caution against asking participants to rank a list of 147 factorsbecause “distinctions between individual elements become difficult for the person making theranking to maintain meaning” [5].

studies have focused on the impact of entrepreneurshipcompetitions on EI. The ways in which engineering students specifically can beinfluenced through entrepreneurship competitions have not been fully exploredthrough systematic research. Engineers could have valuable opportunities to manageentrepreneurial projects if, in addition to their engineering expertise, they learned toplan, develop their creativity and innovation, deal with uncertainty, and evaluatebusiness opportunities [3]. Thus, it is important to analyze the EI of engineeringstudents and take appropriate measures to develop it. Given the interest of highereducation institutions in involving more engineering students in entrepreneurshipcompetitions, the current study explored the

Banning (2001), the students’understanding of the built environment was grounded in a recognition of spaces that createdsafety and inclusion (e.g., the library) and evolved to one that recognized space as a conduit forinvolvement (e.g., the student center, the wellness center) and that served as basis for communitybuilding.Similarly, findings reinforce Wu et al. (2021) in their identification of flexibility, functionality,and openness as particular high-value conditions present in meaningful space. Those sameconditions also align with Hoffman et al.

Analyses of course GPA data revealed that URMstudents’ final course grades were consistently lower than that of their non-URM counterparts, asidentified by previous research [15]. This pattern was evident each semester from SP2019 toSP2020 for all three courses with the exception of Spring 2020, in ET when the grades wereequivalent.

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.
