Summer bridge programs have been shown to improve students’confidence and sense of belonging, particularly for first-generation and underrepresented students[4, 5]. They can also help close gaps in academic preparation and improve retention rates [6, 7].For example, a two week summer program was designed to address mathematics deficiencies forpre-college students and positively impacted students’ academic performance and persistencerates [8].

IntroductionMaterials play a pivotal role in advancing the technologies that shape modern society, both fromunderstanding the connection between a material’s structure, properties, processing, andperformance in the field of materials science and selecting the correct materials for a particulardesign. Despite their significance, materials science as a field is often introduced later inengineering education – generally in the second year of university studies, following first-yeargeneral engineering courses. At that point, students have already established their academic focusand are less likely to appreciate how the study of materials science can play a role in their

Mechanics, ActiveLearning, Classroom Participation, Inclusive Learning, Gamified Learning Strategies,Educational Innovation in STEM.1. IntroductionActive learning—where students meaningfully engage in tasks, discussions, and problem-solving—has been widely recognized as an effective strategy for improving conceptualunderstanding and student performance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) fields [1]. Prince defines active learning as any instructional method that encouragesstudents to actively participate in the learning process rather than passively absorbing informationthrough traditional lecturing [1]. Research consistently shows that these methods not only improveacademic achievement but also foster higher-order thinking
