Data will be analyzed for recurring themes amongthe students in their experiences both positive and negative (e.g., moments they thought theywanted to quit, experiences that caused them to feel they could or could not achieve a STEMdegree, what changed their mind about staying, or what event caused them to switch to adifferent field).

engineeringeducation. It is a theory of learning founded on the premise that the reflection of our experienceswill construct our own understanding of future knowledge, much like the purposeful, deliberate,and systematic nature of engineering, which requires reflection on past knowledge to constructfuture creations. There are several guiding principles of constructivism30,41,47,63,74:1. Understanding comes from interactions with the environment. A learner’s knowledge comes from his/her pre-existing knowledge and experience, and new knowledge is formed when connecting previous experience to the new content and environment.2. Conflict in the mind or puzzlement is the stimulus for learning and determines the organization and

for end-users [5]. Understanding end-users in engineering maycontribute to market success, as a majority of innovative breakthrough products involve noveluser interfaces [6]. Further, the established design process guides published by Stanford d.school[7] and IDEO [8] place empathy among the first steps to take when aiming for innovation. As forself-efficacy, it is currently hypothesized that it influences an engineer’s interest and ability tocarry out tasks associated with innovativeness [9], such as open-minded design exploration [10].However, despite educators attempting to teach empathy [11], [12] and innovation self-efficacyto engineering students, there is little understanding as to whether students develop either ofthese mindsets.

Furthermore, as shown in Table 3, among those whoreported chemistry as important at the beginning of the semester, a larger proportion of thosewho used SI reported chemistry remained important at the end of the semester than those whodid not use SI (i.e., students who used SI were less likely to change their minds about thecourse’s importance than those who did not use SI). Together, these findings suggest that theperceived importance of learning a gateway science subject by an engineering student

clearly shows that students and teachers havedifferent perceptions; such discrepancy shall be kept in mind when designing STEM-learning projects; and communication towards mutual understanding among students andteachers are often needed for ensuring effective teaching and learning. In general, STEM-Inc students had higher interest and confidence towards engineering thanentrepreneurship, which is understandable since STEM-Inc essentially is a project for STEMlearning; and entrepreneurship has been used as a tool to engage students in STEM learning.However, it is worthwhile noting that activities incorporating both engineering andentrepreneurship (such as the field trip to a fast pitch competition where students presentbusiness ideas with

. Lastly, we note that the student groupswe examined in this study are certainly not the only groups of interest regarding sorting ofstudent characteristics; various extra-curricular student clubs and project teams (including thoseexplicitly within engineering) may also experience systemic student sorting. We were unable toreliably measure student participation in such groups within the practical limits of our study, butfollow-on research to examine these other groups would benefit the community of EL educators.ConclusionsThe heterogeneity of the engineering student population implies an onus for EL educators toconsider the student composition in EL course cohorts – and to be mindful of the effects ofcohort composition upon the learning

Furthermore, giving students practice with exploring and capturing complexphenomena is becoming ever more important in a world of increasing collaboration andincreasingly complex phenomena.
