This indicates that the experiment targeted dimensions associated with activelearning as identified in previous studies. This supports the idea that practical activities canenhance STEM education [13]. The decrease by Fall 2023 reflects warnings from Braxton et al.[3] that numerous reforms often lead to only a temporary increase in engagement.

near-peer mentoring between graduate students and undergraduate transfer students in engineering and computingIntroduction Mentoring is a practice in which a student, or mentee, and a more experienced individual,a mentor, engage in a relationship that includes advising or instructing by the mentor to thementee. This type of relationship can be seen throughout academia and is commonly foundbetween staff members and students. 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

Thelaboratory report contained mostly photographs and brief explanations of the various steps in theproject. Additionally, students were asked to reflect on the entire experience for each assignment,which allowed students to exercise some metacognition, and also gave the course staff an idea ofwhere the main challenges lie. Finally, for each assignment

While a well-designed strategy can offer a framework for evaluation, insufficientpreparation cannot precede successful implementation.Engaging in writing accountability activities and seminars, among other forms of professionaldevelopment training, is more effectively optimized through planning. Effective planning, whichspans the duration of the project, involves the following: identifying the objectives (goal setting),iterating the roadmap (structure), assigning timeframes for task implementation and milestonerecognition (timelines), engaging in brainstorming sessions regarding project progress(reflection), and providing feedback based on individual perceptions of the project.

Due to these attitudes, students andlab instructors tend to focus more on technical knowledge rather than communication skills inlabs. Another study found that the written engineering documents seldom contained socio-cultural features of engineering and the trade-offs between productivity and safety or health of anoperator [7]. This type of neutral and objective text couldn’t reflect the complexity and human-related real-world engineering problems [7].

As such, we encourage faculty to assign minimal completion points (not extracredit), in line with an activity that takes around 10 minutes to complete.

Due to the directional light requirements and the resulting low light, astandard video camera at 60 frames per second was utilized for video capture. Additionally, theauthors did not utilize the high-speed camera for capture because it only records black and whitevideo. This negates the capture of visually stunning and

Given theirimportance, along with ABET accreditation requirements, capstones require continued reflection andevolution to keep the academic experience relevant and impactful [8,12]. One way to keep capstones relevant is to review/assess what other similar programs areincorporating into their programs in regard to means, methods, and trends [12-13].
