Gamification is one of the popularapproaches to student engagement and can be described as the incorporation of game designelements into nongame environments to engage individuals and promote desired behaviors [3, 4].Computer-based technologies are widely involved to support gamification in education

Natural disasters further exacerbate this impact by causingwidespread destruction, resulting in material waste, increased resource consumption, andemissions during reconstruction. Therefore, achieving environmental improvement andpromoting sustainable construction practices, including circular construction and life-cycleassessments (LCAs), is critical for reducing the industry’s environmental footprint and fosteringa more responsible built environment. To achieve sustainability goals in the constructionindustry, it is essential to equip the future construction workforce with knowledge and skillsrelated to sustainable construction practices. The goals of this study are to (1) understand theimpact of natural disasters

Wind TurbinesProject DescriptionA large body of literature suggests that self-directed projects enhance student learning. Studentsare often enthusiastic about the experiences that they gain through class projects [1], and studentsand faculty alike often feel that collaborative team experiences are essential to their developmentas engineering professionals [2, 3]. Student projects also aid in student identity development [4]and are particularly useful for student exploration of topics that are important but very recent andhave not yet been integrated into standard curriculum [5, 6]. This is especially true when theprojects relate to topics that the students perceive as culturally important, such as projectsaddressing climate change and

Asthe knowledge bases related to engineering analysis and design within traditional disciplinescontinue to grow, while the amount of space available in a 4-year bachelor's degree programremains the same, engineering programs are challenged to balance the desire for disciplinarydepth with the desire for interdisciplinary breadth.

While existing research has developed explicit self-report measures of engineering identity[3], [4], [5], [6], social psychology research suggests these instruments may miss critical aspectsof identity development [7], [8]. Of particular relevance is the concept of implicit self-concept—automatically activated self-evaluations or self-associations outside an individual's consciousawareness or control [9], [10], [11]. Recent studies in STEM education demonstrate that implicitmeasures can reveal identity conflicts not captured by traditional surveys [12]. While explicitmeasures can capture
