regional campuses, however, there are constraintson how those funds get distributed among all campuses. With the benefits come the challengesassociated with regional campus teaching and learning. These challenges are discussed below: 1. Limited Resources: The regional campuses have limited resources when it comes to offering engineering or engineering technology courses. These courses are lab-based courses and must have all the resources to ensure consistency in the type of project being offered. Course coordinators from the central campus are assigned the task to form regional campus teams and discuss the availability of resources to offer the first-year engineering courses. The first-year courses are revised often
faculty navigate transitioning from research-intensive institutions to teaching-focused institutions [39]. Life-story interviews similarly aim toelicit descriptions of participants’ life and construction of their own personal narrative. Thisapproach has been applied in topics such as engineering identity development amongundergraduate students [40] and career aspirations and values among Black and Latinx studentsin science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) [41]. Likewise, the narrative interviewingapproach examines the storied experience, but considers the researchers’ own stories as well. Forexample, Pawley [42, 43] has used narrative interviews to examine cultural and institutionalnarratives among engineering faculty and students, while

A second vein of Janet’s research seeks to identify the social and cultural impacts of technological choices made by engineers in the process of designing and creating new devices and systems.

students struggle in their engineering studies, they tend to seek out means to improve theircognitive performance. Such assistance includes attending office hours for extra help, joining astudy group or seeking out tutoring. Universities similarly focus on helping students throughcognitive means, such as encouraging faculty to improve teaching methods, upgrading orimproving technology resources or developing tutoring for specific courses. What is often notsupported are students’ non-cognitive competencies, which have been shown in previous studiesto be related to academic performance. Such non-cognitive and affective (NCA) competenciesinclude, for example, mindset, motivation, self-control, study strategies and environment, andstress management
