Undergraduate Curricular Complexity for Engineering Student Success (SUCCESS).These activities included data collection, data verification, and drafting an R package to calculatethe curricular complexity metrics. IntroductionStudying pathways into and out of engineering is a classic area of research in engineeringeducation, with studies highlighting various factors that influence a student's decision to pursuethe associated major, stay and complete the degree, or leave; these include personal, social, andinstitutional factors [1]–[3]. With over one million student records, MIDFIELD has been awealth of information for researchers interested in studying these engineering curricularpathways [4]. It is composed of

IntroductionEfforts to broaden the participation of women and people of color within engineering andcomputing education have made incremental improvements in the U.S. but, overall, continue tohave challenges. The under-representation of women and ethno-racial minorities in STEM fieldsis nothing new [1]. Based on a 2021 report, the share of women in computer occupationsdeclined from 30% in 2000 to 25% in 2016 and has remained stable until 2019 [2]. Womencontinue to be vastly underrepresented in the ranks of engineers and architects (15% in 2019

Studies show that although there has been an increase in women earning PhDs incomputer science and engineering, the percentage of female faculty members has notincreased as much [2]. One possible reason could be that demands to publish and teachstudents have created challenges for female faculty of STEM to balance between work andfamily [3]. If such assumption is true, this reality indirectly but undoubtably have pushedback boundaries of the traditional ideology regarding women’s family and work roles andresponsibilities [4] and

SinceFBDs are frequently used in most introductory engineering courses such as physics and statics,where there can be hundreds of students enrolled, receiving effective feedback becomes an issue.In addition to feedback, grading becomes more of a burden on the instructor due to the vastnumber of students in these entry level courses. As a result of this burden left on the instructor,many resort to web-based homework systems to handle grading and provide feedback forstudents without relying on the instructor for it [1].BackgroundThe issue this research project aimed to resolve was a student’s ability to properly sketch

Research has shown that students with higher spatial ability tend toperform better in both STEM educational settings and STEM occupations [2]. Furthermore, weknow from previous research that spatial ability is something that can be improved upon overtime through the implementation of interventions and/or training [3]. These findings highlightthe importance of assessing spatial ability for future performance predictions, and also for theimplementation of effective interventions and/or training for increasing spatial ability

Forill-structured problems where the solution path is not immediately obvious, the systematicapproach of self-regulated learning can help students navigate the possible difficulties and deadends. If a solution method does not work out, the problem solver can reflect on this and try adifferent approach.The Model of Domain Learning is another conceptual framework that can be applied to problemsolving. The goal is to understand how novices build expertise and become experts [3] [4]. Inthis framework, the learner progress through three stages.

IntroductionThe South African Mining industry consists of four major mining sectors namely Coal, Gold,Platinum and Diamonds. Smaller sectors include operations to mine Titanium, Copper,Chrome and other lesser minerals according to the Minerals Council of South Africa (MCSA)[1] . The industry was reported to have employed 458,954 people in 2021 with a contributionof approximately R480.9 Billion South African Rands (~US$26.8 Bn) to the country’s GDPin that same year [2]. The production output of any operation is heavily reliant on the abilityof the mine management to effectively monitor and control the utilisation of their
