Essays throughout the course ask them to reflect on aspects of the projects thatdirectly relate to construction such as (1) challenges that were encountered during theconstruction, (2) examples of modern structures that were inspired by the projects, and (3) howconstruction techniques and project management have evolved over time. Students are alsoasked to reflect on political, economic, and social aspects of the projects, which help to engagethem in the historical context and be exposed to the fact that many complexities of constructionprojects go beyond just

Self-efficacy is an essential construct in understanding women’s success inCE, as it directly affects their motivation, resilience, and performance. Drawing from Bandura’stheory [1], self-efficacy is shaped by four main sources: a) mastery experiences that buildconfidence through achievements, b) vicarious experiences that strengthen confidence byobserving others' success, c) social persuasion, such

IntroductionA tool that facilitates effective communication of knowledge and ideas in a way that mimics howthey are generated in the mind is likely to aid in accomplishing three key objectives: 1)enhancing learners' ability to comprehend and construct complex concepts, 2) facilitating thecreation of a shared understanding among teams, and 3) aiding teachers in assessing thecomprehension of their students and the orientation of their teams.

Recognizing this shift, the National Academies of Sciences (2018)emphasizes that academic institutions must prioritize developing "a basic understanding of datascience in all undergraduates" to prepare them for this new era [1]. This is particularly crucial forSTEM graduates, who must develop varying levels of expertise in working with data – the abilityto understand, interpret, and critically evaluate data, as well as to use data effectively to informdecisions.

A key component to have a successful capstone experience is the abilityof students to engage in both divergent and convergent thinking [3], as such, the overallcurriculum must provide design learning experiences that provide students with the fundamentalskills, knowledge, and opportunities to practice both divergent and convergent thinking.Oftentimes, these opportunities exist in explicit design courses.

developing solutions forpeople requires making value-laden judgments. These judgements are often against ill-defined,ambiguous, and competing social and/or technical criteria and constraints. For example, inaviation, engineers make decisions based on various sources of information. However, thesources of information accessible to aviation engineers can shape their judgements and decisions,such as the decision to continue flying or ground aircraft with faults [1]. Existing researchsuggests engineers and managers base these critical decisions on their assumptions, limitedavailable knowledge, operational urgency, and their perceptions of risks [1].

This lack of inclusivity hasbeen a significant factor in the disconnect many students from diverse backgrounds feel towardstraditional pedagogical approaches, such as didactic instruction [2,3]. Traditionally, physics has beentaught didactically, where teachers present content in a lecture format, expecting students to absorb asmuch information as possible [4]. However, research indicates that this method has resulted in minimalpositive outcomes in students’ understanding and engagement with physics [5]. Because of this, there hasbeen a shift towards more interactive and student
