This study introduces a blended teachingapproach, in which students are actively involved in delivering lectures on selected topics, ratherthan relying solely on the instructor. Pre-class and post-class surveys were administered to thestudent presenters to gauge their perceptions on delivering team lectures. The surveys also aimedto assess whether their knowledge improved, their roles in team presentations, and theirdevelopment of effective presentation skills. Additionally, audience feedback on the grouppresentations was collected and it was observed that the majority of students reported an increasein their knowledge after lecture delivery. This not only developed a sense of student ownershipin the

On the other hand, S17 who matches a traditionallyoverrepresented group in engineering experienced inclusive behaviors from others whichimproved his experience during and after the HEP.

While literature has explored how engineering studentsgather design information, less work has explored how students make sense of this information.To understand how engineering students may approach information synthesis tasks, we providedten undergraduate engineering students with 25 pieces of information related to an open-endeddesign scenario

Less clear is whether pre-college engineering instruction alsocontributes to students' success in engineering career pathways by adequately preparing studentsfor undergraduate engineering.
