Furthermore, in this paper, we provide high level summaries of keyconclusions from inspection of these data sets. Further data assimilation is ongoing work.1.1 Institutional CultureInstitutional culture in higher education is a vehicle for implementing organizational andinstitutional change [2]. The culture of an institution of higher education is shaped by numerousfactors, including demographic, economic, and political factors, as well as internal factors such asits history, and the processes that allow the institution to function [3]. Part of those processesinvolve things that can be assessed via survey, such as the Harvard

limited avenues to reflect and make sense of what they are doing, especially in the initialyears of the degree [16]. Similarly, Pausigere argues that strong sequencing and pacing (i.e., astronger framing) can impede learning of primary math concepts for poorer and working classchildren [23]. Thus, the framing aspect of recontextualization has considerable effects on studentexperiences and success in academic settings.Thus, it is undeniable that Bernstein’s theory of the pedagogic device including the framing rulescan provide important insights into understanding students’ learning experiences. Hence, thisstudy uses this theoretical framework to understand how knowledge derived from differentdisciplines is recontextualized in an electrical

The concept of near-peer mentoring reflects the ideas andgoals of traditional mentorship but is formed between individuals who are at similar experiencelevels, personally or professionally, where the mentor and mentee relate to one another due tosimilar age proximity, shared goals, common experiences, or
