In their 2020 paper on the propagation ofthe use of concept inventories in Mechanical Engineering [3], Cornwell and Self et. al. suggestthat instructor adoption of concept inventories depends on a variety of factors including theinstitutional context, learning context, and the instructor’s interaction with the conceptwarehouse community.In other work, researches have explored the role of institutional and learning contexts on studentsuccess [4], student perceptions [5,6,7], and student self-efficacy.

University or library makerspaces have added a new dimension tostudent learning through hands-on projects that help students build a wide range of skills otherwise underdeveloped [12] andsupport diversity and inclusion [18], [32]. Student engagement (voluntary or through courses) is associated with higher STEMidentity [23], GPA [17], and engineering design self-efficacy [18]. The maker movement started outside of academia with theDo-It-Yourself (DIY) culture [3], which some consider a form of citizen science and lifelong learning environment [13].

Personal mastery has been linked to general leadership development, which lends to itscapacity to do so in an engineering-specific context.

This trend, coupledwith concerns about the college enrollment “cliff” and a critical need for engineers, led the SEASto explore issues around retention and student success outcomes in engineering [2]. Additionally,previous research into retention in engineering linked student confidence in college-level mathand science (self-efficacy) to their persistence in the degree, which raises concerns when placingstudents in a math class that could be considered behind what is considered on track [3].First Year Student Success and Retention in EngineeringA commonly quoted number is that roughly half of engineering students change out ofengineering or
