involvement inresearch and expanded understanding of their career opportunities. Students who engage inresearch will develop technical skills in the laboratory; however, it is often the professional (or“soft”) skills emphasized in the project materials that set these students apart from their peers.Faculty who engage in research and would like to enhance the productivity of their researchgroup will benefit from the enthusiasm and unique perspectives and skills that a new student canbring to the research group. In addition, by including first-year undergraduate students in the lab,these students will gain maximum exposure to the research environment over their academiccareer and faculty will have increased continuity in student participation.

Effectivecoaches may sometimes fulfill the role of an instructor to the team in those areas of expertise thatrequire each member to learn new skills. For example, coaches may be called upon to teachparticular project-specific skills such as finite-element analysis, dynamic modelling, virtualreality programming, and the like. More often, however, the faculty coach is a mentor to theteam leading them to effective project management strategies, conflict resolution, meetingmanagement, morale management, soft skills, and communication strategies with other engineerssuch as technicians, manufacturers, and sales engineers.To give teams the best chance of

Conclusion6.1 Response to Research Question/ObjectiveThe photovoice reflections from students show that we can enhance the engagement of engineering studentswhen we use bio-inspired design project to instill EM via integrated STEAM when we teachmathematically-intensive engineering subjects. Students’ ways of thinking can be positively changed, andthey can learn soft skills (e.g. interpersonal skills and teamwork) much better. The results suggest that it ispromising for student learning outcomes might be better since students’ engagement is high and they had apositive experience when we use bio-inspired projects to connect theory, practice, and application.6.2 Summary of Main

Such an approach also does not allow studentsto develop soft skills related to teamwork and rids the course of the competitive aspect. Potentialimprovements include arranging students to work in small groups of 2-3 people to develop acutting strategy, letting each student machine the part separately and then requiring them tocompare results in terms of product quality (measured vs. nominal dimensions) and/orproductivity (total cutting time).

Nevertheless, these efforts are largely limited by a lack of institutionalfunding.

. Historically, amajor deterrent for women considering STEM has been lower levels of math self-assessment [8],though recent studies suggest that this is becoming less important for persistence [12], [13]. Forinstance, researchers found that students’ have broadened their perception of the skills required inCS [13] with more awareness of the non-technical or “soft” skills, such as reliability and teamwork,that are sought by employers [29]. This shift suggests a need to explore how students perceive thefield of ML/AI and highlights the importance of studying other factors contributing to persistence.Professional role confidence, comprised of expertise confidence and career-fit confidence, is thedegree to which a person feels confident in their competence
