Thedata gathered from four semesters of engineering fundamentals courses, includes detailed logs ofeach submission, such as submission times, errors identified, critique counts, and resolution times.By analyzing patterns across different submissions, we tracked how student learning evolved overtime and varied across disciplines. This approach allowed us to identify effective strategies inautomated feedback design that cater to the diverse needs of learners from different educationalbackgrounds.1 IntroductionProviding rich, timely feedback to the students when they are learning is a significant challenge inlarge classrooms.

Due to the range of factors and challenges in developing teamworking skills, this is an area of interest to many academic staff working and researching inengineering education [4]-[5]. Borrego et. al highlighted the complexities in this area and havecalled for engineering education researchers to work with experts from other domains, such asindustrial and organisational psychology to address some of the challenges faced by academicstaff, students and engineering education researchers [5].

We anticipate the outcomes of this study will provide implicationsfor faculty and staff makerspaces at other postsecondary institutions who aim to build aninclusive and accessible learning environment for all students.IntroductionThe dominant culture in western engineering has been defined by White men from middle toupper class backgrounds [1]. While local and national efforts have been made on a large scale todiversify the engineering student population and change this culture, there is still a significantdisparity in the number of STEM degrees awarded to women and other underrepresentedminority (URM) groups [2-6].

Despite the availability of advancedtechnologies, knowledge gaps persist, limiting their adoption in academia and industry. Thispaper addresses these challenges by developing and implementing three innovative educationaldesign and manufacturing modules that integrate sustainability and entrepreneurial thinking: 1)Generative Design using Autodesk Fusion software to optimize designs and streamlineworkflows, 2) Portable Sand Casting with "foundry-in-a-box" technology for hands-on learning,and 3) Green Manufacturing through the transformation of waste plastics into no-cost additivemanufacturing (AM) printing

The literature hasidentified a few key characteristics of post-traditional students, such as individuals who startcollege at age 25 or older, attend college part-time, and have dependents. Despite the largenumber of post-traditional students, researchers in higher education and engineering educationhave devoted limited attention to this population. Additionally, extant scholarship has notunpacked the differences between this group of students and traditional students with respect togender, race, and socioeconomic status.

Years of S-STEMBackgroundThe National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) states that two million bachelor’s degreeswere conferred over the 2021-22 academic year with engineering accounting for 6% of thosedegrees. While engineering is listed in the top fields for degrees awarded, it falls behind businessand health professionals, 19% and 13%, respectively [1]. NCES reports that although manyincoming post-secondary students initially pursue STEM degrees, 35% change their field ofstudy within three years [2]. A study by Eris et al. investigated the differences between persistersand non-persisters in engineering programs. They identified factors such as parents, mentors,confidence levels in math and science, financial difficulties, and
