Prior research using the Survey of EarnedDoctorates suggests that engineering students funded primarily by research assistantshipscomplete their PhDs on average one semester earlier than students funded primarily by teachingassistantships.

to offer training and/or teaching in new skillsand/or knowledge [51]. For quite some time now, many colleges have provided makerspace-analogous functionalities, including assembly/testing areas, machine shops, Computer AidedDesign laboratories, and/or classrooms. What universities often disregard is the inclusion all ofthese elements in one location [52]. For campuses that do implement such centralizedaccommodations, the majority of these makerspaces are utilized predominantly for informalsettings. Utilizing a makerspace for housing an introductory course in engineering, such as ENGR111, fosters a formal setting that includes a variety of disciplines that draws in diverse backgroundsand varying levels of expertise.If structured properly
