2033 [1]. STEM jobs offer median annual wages ($87,750), almost double that of non-STEM jobs ($45,700), with over 93% of STEM roles paying above the national average [2]. Advanced degrees also yield substantial salary premiums, with Master's degree holders earning 18-33% more than Bachelor's degree holders in STEM fields [3]. • National and Regional Needs: Computer science and mechanical engineering are highlighted as in-demand majors due to their alignment with national trends and regional economic demands. For example, Ohio's manufacturing industry contributes 17% to the state's gross product and employs 700,000 workers. Growth in software development, cybersecurity, and industrial engineering aligns with the need for a skilled

These two advantages of modifiedmastery learning – cost savings and improved learning outcomes – are compelling, and the caseis made that most learning in higher education should adopt a modified mastery approach.IntroductionThe king is dead. Long live the king. Historically, this proclamation was made when onemonarch died, and a new monarch ascended to the throne.In modern times, often this proclamation is used to note a sea change, which is defined as anotable transformation. For example when music downloads surpassed CD sales in the UnitedStates (US) in 2012, one might have heard the phrase, “The Sony Discman is dead. Long liveiTunes,” [1].

The exploration and identification of mechanistic HC pathways inengineering are tied to emotions, self-advocacy, and self-efficacy [1]. Within the HC pathwaysmodel, emotions are believed to be an igniter of decisions that spark action [2]. These emotionscan vary from happiness, excitement, sadness, fear, and anger [3], [4] and depending on theperspectives of the individual, each emotion can be classified as being positive

Self-efficacy and expectancy-value theories havebeen linked student persistence, achievement, and future plans[3]. Among engineering students,computing skills are a strong influencer of confidence and self-efficacy [4]. Prior research withstudents learning to program in required first-year university courses demonstrated that baselinemotivation for learning – specifically, their self-efficacy and utility value – varied significantly.One recent study demonstrates that students in computationally-focused majors have higher self-efficacy [5].
