The centerwas re-scoping and constructing new facilities based on the direction of students, who knewtheir needs best. The researcher was developing an agenda to understand how learners outsideof formally credentialed engineering settings could best develop solutions to theircommunity’s problems. Given this alignment, the two groups were well-placed for a smallinternal university-funded seed grant, which led to their co-design of the first version of thecurriculum. We built the first curriculum based on student interviews about their interests,goals, and aspirations. Early pilot testing focused on students and teachers, especially on howstudents learned best (e.g

Similar to our factors, recent studies have shown thatnegatively worded items can often load together even after being reverse-scored and should bepositively worded to align with current best practices [10]. Adopting this approach beforeadministering the survey in the spring semester of 2023 will allow us to examine the possibilityof newly emergent factors, which could address currently missing mindsets present in the EMframework.

For these reasons, there is a steep decline in the number of Black and Hispanicstudents graduating with a STEM degree from Baccalaureate institutions [7]. Classroom culture is shown to have a significant impact on the success of Black andHispanic students in higher education and in STEM in particular. Specifically, when Black andHispanic students feel like they have learning and supportive spaces to develop their STEMidentities, they are more likely than their peers who do not have access to such spaces toacademic persist in the STEM field [8].

For example, while attending a conference, a student may be encouraged to reflect on a recent classroom learning experience. • Abstract conceptualization: In this stage, the learner forms new ideas or modifies existing ideas based on reflection. For example, after reflecting on the research problem, the learner may adjust their initial perception (learned during lectures) of how best to solve it. • Active experimentation: In this stage, learning is transferred to other settings around the learner.
