in that position title during the analysis.In the third step, we revisited and quantified the data (frequency) to make sure we couldeffectively use the data. To do so, we refined positioning categories and assigned them toposition options based on previous analysis of positioning within coding experiences. Positionoptions in technical work experience include: self-positioning as an engineering intern, anengineer, a student engineer, a teaching assistant, or an agentic position. We also found somestudents took on two positions, such as self-positioning as an engineering intern and an agenticposition, in their reflections. Thus, we defined and included different combinations of positions.In students’ research experiences, position options
using the Engineering Design Process (EDP)within the context of the accomplishments and mindset of Da Vinci. The course exploredengineering mechanics and design topics concurrent with applying physics topics in anengineering laboratory. A qualitative analysis was performed using a new reflective tool,PhotoVoice. The purpose of the assessment was to better understand the impact of the course onthe student vision, the operation of the course relative to what they have encountered in theireducational careers, and student-perceived learning outcomes. Analysis of student reflectionsrevealed themes of “Changed Perspectives,” “Engagement in the Classroom,” and“Brainstorming Benefits” when describing the impact of the course on their career visions

The course structure is designed tomotivate students and engage them throughout a two-semester long project. Various sources wereidentified to select proper topics for the different teams. These sources include partners from industry,community foundations, local authorities and companies. Other sources could be research topics withprofessors in the same institute or other research laboratories. The projects are designed with
training, workforce development, and engineering education. Through these research topics, Raissa has been publishing papers for peer-reviewed journal and conference pro- ceedings.

classroom in general.The participants in this study indicated that it is important to them that teaching strategiespromote collaboration and discussion in class. Accordingly, Kovarik, Robinson, & Wenzel [19]state that when students engage in collaborative activities, they are more likely to form newfriendships with their classmates, both in lectures and in the laboratory. In turn, this encouragessocialization and can result in students identifying study partners with whom to connect outsideof class time. In addition, collaborative work helps people to practice verbal and writtencommunication skills. All this enhances self-efficacy and sense of belonging. Related to this,participants suggested that the frequency of field activities should be

2national laws and departmental cultures. Coupled to the diversity of specializations within asingle discipline, this landscape is richly complex.Explicit instruction necessarily involves more top-down organization, driven by faculty leaders[9]. Faculty leaders must obtain resources for ERC courses, workshops, and other teaching-vehicles, then assign instructional duties to faculty, and allocate resources to them. Explicitframeworks can be more coordinated, but they may decrease individual instructors' real orperceived sense of responsibility for enculturating students to professional norms. Theeffectiveness of ERC instruction will also be affected by students' perception of its importance.Explicit structures for training may lend gravitas to ERC
