This theory hypothesizesthat one’s intentions and behaviors (e.g., students’ career aspirations and intentions) areinfluenced by one’s attitudes (e.g., their attitudes toward the macroethical implications of certaincareers), cultural norms (e.g., their perceptions about the way others value certain careers), andperceived behavioral control (e.g., their beliefs about their ability to obtain a job that aligns withtheir values).We have recruited undergraduate aerospace engineering students at the University of Michigan toparticipate in this research. We first investigate students’ attitudes through individual

This model is commonly applied in psychology, education, andhealthcare to demonstrate how individuals' learning processes relate to their actions. It has provenparticularly effective in increasing positive attitudes towards patients' self-management and infacilitating measurement and intervention in psychological research [14] [15].By introducing the KAB model, we aim to better understand parents across the three dimensions andexplore how the model can support students' engineering education during the pre-college period.

Suchinterventions have the potential to help students utilize metacognitive techniques that maycontribute to their professional and personal development. Time management interventions typically involve training sessions and workshopsfocused on goal setting, prioritization, and task scheduling. For instance, [18] developed a timemanagement training program and concluded that the students who actively utilize timemanagement tools like planning, setting goals, and priorities achieve higher academicperformance and demonstrate lower stress

Based on the historical gendering of crafting and fiber arts as“female,” we asked ourselves: by using crochet to study mechanical properties of materials, canwe flip the script on typical gender stereotypes that exist in an engineering course? Wouldstudents come away with an updated understanding of fiber arts as a form of engineering? Couldpositioning fiber arts in the context of engineering send the message that skills that women havebeen developing for millennia are just as much of an asset to an engineering skillset as 3Dprinting and the use of hand tools?In this paper, we present a lesson plan that can be used to introduce mechanical properties
