If participating in the summer camps, it is more likely that students'interactions with instructors, staff, and counselors will be more direct and individualized atsummer camps than in regular classrooms. This type of environment may boost students' self-confidence when immersed in summer camps [3]. STEM courses are often viewed as complexand sometimes unrelated to reality. Students need to be involved in hands-on STEM activities tomake the connection between education and future careers [4]. In addition to academic content,the camp allows students to interact socially and

In the currenttechnology-rich era, where every teenager has a phone glued to their hands, it has becomepertinent to design school-based educational activities that stimulate and build upon thoseinterests. Students’ motivation levels increase when they combine their experiences with learningactivities. Similarly, research indicates that integrating science, math, and engineering conceptspositively impacts student engagement with engineering design and skills [1].

This work focuses on the development of a survey question that ourresearch team is developing to measure students’ affective pathways.Affective pathways are of significant interest to us as a result of their ability to influencestudents’ global affect (attitudes, self-concept

While certain aspects haveevolved over time, such as advances in programming languages and software development tools,other aspects have remained the same, most notably the difficulty experienced by many inteaching their students problem solving and design skills [2].

Engineering as a discipline has developed sophisticatedtools for identifying and reducing sources of uncertainty; for instance, the tools of statisticalprocess control 7,8. However, it is not clear how widely these tools are adopted in engineeringpractice, nor how widely the concepts of uncertainty are taught in engineering programs.There is reason to believe that uncertainty is not emphasized in engineers’ training.

However, the widespread introduction of the A-F grading scale led tounnecessary stress and harm to students [2], questions about the accuracy and validity of thegrading system [3], and a sudden shift from learning to earning enough points to get a desiredgrade [4]. Furthermore, traditional grading schemes can further amplify the effects of biases andpolicies that negatively impact students from underserved groups [5]. Despite these concerns, theA-F grading system is still largely used in educational institutions today [1], and the question stillremains: Is there a way to communicate student learning without leading to unnecessary harmand a lack of intrinsic motivation?

A study has shownthat many college-level students still struggle with programming even after taking anintroductory programming course [1]. This means that teaching programming is verychallenging.

internationally, STEM majors experience more attrition and longer times tograduate than other majors. The high rate of attrition has been documented from a public policystandpoint at various universities in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and SouthAfrica [1]. The cost of attrition is significant. Students who attrite are personally burdened by thecost of a partial education when the costs of college are rising [2] and by the loss of income froma lucrative STEM career. Socially, attrition of STEM majors reduces the size of the workforce ata time of high demand for skilled college graduates [3]. The cost of attrition is particularlydetrimental to underrepresented minority (URM) groups who attrite in larger numbers [4], and tothe diversity of
