throughout the process. A previous assignment designed for thesepurposes required students to research teamwork and write a 5-page essay on it during the firstfew weeks of their college career. This assignment failed to convey the true importance ofteamwork skills and the relevance to their own teaming situation, resulting in the sense that itwas only busy work assigned to satisfy the general education requirement. The main objectivesof the new assignment are to improve both cognition, or the core mental processes required forproductive teamwork, and metacognition which involves empowering individuals and teams tomonitor, evaluate, and adjust their cognitive strategies; the result ultimately contributing to thedevelopment of effective team skills

In Canada, it has been reported recently that graduatestudents are facing serious financial challenges, largely due to limited funding available fromboth institutions and funding agencies [18]. This further adds to the stress and anxiety that manyearly-career academics face and highlights the reality of the many challenges faced by graduatestudents on a daily basis, not including the added element of experiencing grief.Despite the substantial impact of grief and traumatic events on academic performance, researchon grief and

This idea has beenimplemented in various forms at other universities. The University of Dayton developed anengineering course, “Technology and the Engineering Method for Non-Engineering Students”,that introduced non-engineering students to engineering tools and methods [5]. It fulfilled ageneral engineering requirement but only for non-engineering students.

Instead, students can access course materials andcomplete assignments at their convenience.

Martin [3] discussed potential biases in SETs due to several factors such asgender, race/ethnicity, attractiveness, age, course difficulty, and expected grade. These biases canlead to unfair assessments and hinder the recognition of effective teaching methods.Criticism regarding the misuse of Student Evaluations of Teaching (SETs) has been ongoingsince the 1990s. In 1997, McKeachie [4] along with Greenwald and Gillmore [5] cautionedagainst grading leniency that can affect the level of ratings. Fearing that lower ratings couldnegatively impact their careers, instructors might be inclined to grade more leniently,compromising academic rigor and standards. This, in turn, might provide an inaccurate picture ofteaching quality.More recent scholarly

Therefore, schools cannot scale their programs to meet the criteria needed toteach engineering effectively. As a result, many teachers hold common misconceptions aboutwhat engineers do and have low self-efficacy with teaching engineering, leading to a lack ofinterest in engineering among K-12 students. Research indicates that students tend to holdstereotypical and narrow perceptions of engineering, which in turn limits their interest inengineering as a future career choice. Previous
