In the current study, the survey andinterview results indicate a shift of behavior towards the development of STEM identity forstudents who participated in the LMP.The research questions for this study are: 1.

Simply put, an understanding of statics is crucial for successin more advanced engineering courses.

To determine the IDE for our course we first began by creating a series ofselection criteria. Our criteria for selecting an IDE were as follows: 1. The IDE must adhere to the C/C++ language standard. 2. The IDE must not have AI assistance or the AI assistance must be behind a paywall to prevent student use. 3. The IDE should be a popular IDE in industry for the C/C++ programming language. 4.
