These menteesappreciated a senior faculty member taking an interest in partnering with them rather thanadhering to conventional top-down hierarchies, as captured by Clark: “One thing that he was really helpful with is, he started including me on…writing proposals together and co-authoring papers together…I think the fact that he was a mentor and he was wanting to be a colleague and work together on stuff, it was very different than somebody that was like, “Well, I’m, you know, up here

By expanding the scope of course components to includemore diverse and challenging tasks and assessments, we are hoping to make sure that allstudents, regardless of their level of mastery, are sufficiently engaged and challenged throughoutthe course.Limitations and future workThe Calculus I course in this study was taught by three different instructors.

An enjoyable place to work with others may encourage students to spend more timeworking together on a project compared to students with less enjoyable workspaces that simplywant to ‘get it done’ so they can go elsewhere. It is important for instructors to be aware of howthis could influence student interaction and collaboration. In courses featuring laboratorycomponents, discrepancies in equipment availability and functionality can lead to differentlearning outcomes and/or inequitable hands-on experiences.

Additionally, the findings underscore the value of perceived effort as a predictor ofacademic success in engineering education.
