Engineering StudentsIntroduction Engineering in the United States is growing stagnant from a lack of change. According toEngineering by the Numbers for the year 2021, many of the top-producing universities forengineers either remained the same from the previous year or, in the case of George Tech (thetop school), graduated fewer students in 2021 than in 2020 [1]. Much of the conversationsurrounding engineering today is much the same as it has been for years. There is not enough“supply,” i.e., engineers, to meet the demand for engineers in today's economy [2],[3]. Manyhave proposed that diversifying engineering can change this narrative and meet the demand forengineers [2],[3]. Much of the literature surrounding engineering

Simple experiments work best, butcomplicated experiments can cause confusion and boredom. Over time, students may forget what they learnedand cannot use the information in other areas [1], [2]. There is often a disconnect between the teachingmethods used by educators and the learning styles of individual students, leading to a lack of engagement andunderstanding. There have been numerous studies conducted on this topic, and several factors have beenidentified as contributing to the gap between teaching and learning, including teaching methods that are notaligned with

Additionally, they are paid for the workthey do in this area, so are expected to be reasonably good in the role and are often relied upon to bean important role model for younger students [1]. However, there are times when the professionaldevelopment needs of GTAs have been neglected, for example through inadequate training which isusually accompanied by a loss of motivation [2]. Hence, it is important to pinpoint training needsamong the GTA population. In our particular context, we employ approximately 170 GTAs in

This push for diversity includes enrolling students with increasingly distinctbackgrounds, cultures, prior training, learning styles, and goals. However, simply enrolling amore diverse student body does not guarantee a diverse set of graduates [1]. Instead, to provideequitable instruction to all students, universities must not only focus on academic factors toimprove achievement gaps, but also socioemotional aspects that will encourage students to persistwithin their academic track, as posited by the heads-and-hearts hypothesis [2].

Specifically, the three phases in themodified ILD are 1) predict, 2) experiment (by students working in groups, not theinstructor), and 3) reflect (in groups, not individually). The first phase, prediction, beginswith the analysis of a physical situation in which students have to predict the behavior ofthe situation based on the knowledge imparted in the session by the instructor. This occursat the end of the instructor's exposition. The second phase occurs in the laboratory sectionof the course and relates to students' experience

With a projected increase in STEM jobs of 8 percent by 2029 (ahigher rate than non-STEM jobs [2]) there is a need to address the equitable cultivation of aSTEM workforce that is diverse and culturally relevant.In order to broaden the interest of young learners in STEM, many educators are including art intheir STEM activities (making STEAM the new acronym.)

Engineering EducationBackground/MotivationThe research on self-concept has been occupying a significant portion of the studies contributingto the advancement of educational psychology. As much as the topic has gained popularity in thepast decades, it suffered due to the lack of a concrete definition in its early years of advent [1].As interest in it grew, self-concept also gained strength, clarity, and structure. It grew strong as itgained a definition explaining how it might play an important role for a student and for aneducator [1]. Clarity was provided when it was differentiated from some parallel concepts inself-theory and affixing a space for self-concept in an individual’s perceptions, and not a justplaceholder [2].
