, and quality, prioritizing peer-reviewed papers andreputable journals. Then, organize and categorize the literature by grouping studies with similarthemes, methodologies, or theoretical approaches, using an outline to visualize connections. Next,analyze and synthesize the information by comparing findings, identifying trends, gaps, orinconsistencies, and determining their relevance to the research question. Finally, revise and editthe review for coherence, clarity, and logical flow. Ensure proper citation and formatting and seekfeedback from peers or mentors to refine the final product.Figure 1: Seven steps of the literature review process: A cyclic process starting with identifyingyour question, reviewing discipline styles, searching the

from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. After graduation, she worked as a post-doc for approximately three years at Monash University in Clayton, Victoria, Australia. She then spent three years working as a Senior Research Specialist at the Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla, Missouri, where she trained users on the focused ion beam (FIB), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). In 2016, she moved to the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, to serve as a lecturer in the department of Materials Science and Engineering. Here, she is responsible for teaching the junior labs as well as providing instruction on writing in engineering.Dr. Caroline

framework was usedas an example of the processes of capacity development, and the other as an example of itsoutcomes.The example framework for the process of capacity development was Pact’s framework [16],[17]. Pact’s definition of capacity development is: “a continuous process that fosters the abilitiesand agency of individuals, institutions, and communities to overcome challenges and contributetowards local solutions... Though often developed in response to an immediate and specificissue, capacities are adaptable to future opportunities and challenges.” According to Pact, thefollowing activities can be used to build participants’ capacity: consultancy services, training,mentoring/coaching, information/resources, and peer exchange and learning.The

resources for student learning, such as availability of tutoringsessions, writing centers, or student disability services [6]. Syllabi also provide an opportunityfor instructors to exhibit empathy or provide motivation to students through the communicationof course policies. Demonstrations of empathy have the potential to provide additional support tostudents within the classroom and influence student success [8], [9]. Furthermore, past studieshave demonstrated that fundamental information about a course can be deduced from coursesyllabi [10], [11], [12]. However, there has been a lack of research exploring the ways in whichcourse syllabi can be used to examine transparency and support systems provided to students inengineering courses. The purpose
