In general, students felt well-prepared for their internships and expressedgratitude for school for helping them get ready to learn new technologies and languages quickly andtackle problems with persistence and critical thinking. I have come to realize that no matter what [school] teaches me in regard to coding, it has foremost taught me to work hard and work consistently. I believe this is the biggest skill and a habit that I have developed through the constant assignments and approaching daily deadlines.

The underlying idea of making creativity exercises moreregular is valid, but instructors must be careful that students are still provided with theopportunity to master the important technical content within the course. Striking the rightbalance requires careful thought and discussion with other faculty.The second category of comments was interesting. Of the exercises on homework assignments,five of the eight (items 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in Table 2) were directly related to civil engineering.Thus, these comments were most likely addressing the in-class exercises.

It is imperative thatscience educators increase awareness and interest in STEM to our students. It is no longerenough to rely solely on in-class instruction. Instead, effective informal STEM experiences canbe organized. These informal experiences have shown to have positive impact on the recruitmentand retention of young students in STEM [2]. Increasing effectiveness of informal sciencelearning can be accomplished by providing students with unique undergraduate researchexperiences utilizing course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) as well as by

nevertheless seemed to miss the mark in terms of what participantsexpected from me. They seemed to have an implicit model for what creativity was (namely, aninternal cognitive act) and how it should be taught (using a traditional didactic approach), butthey felt they lacked the content of what should be conveyed within that model of creativityeducation. In other words, creativity was like statics or circuits, with a handful of orientingprinciples and problem-solving protocols that could be identified, conveyed discretely, practiced,mastered, cumulated, and ultimately integrated with other engineering analytic skills. What Ipresented about what made PDI students creative and successful problem solvers bothmisaligned with what my engineering peers

project.Rather than understanding the methodology as a means for elucidating their thoughts andfeelings, they viewed the method as a repetitive exercise, which often resulted in them providingredundant responses. This highlights the need in engineering education for greater explanation ofhow and why engineering professionals find value in engaging in such reflective exercises. Inthis instance of the course, it suggests that more face to face scaffolding time may be required tohelp students develop their skills and abilities in this area. Providing such intervention in thefuture may help students see potential long-term professional benefits of mastering the method.AssessmentIn the domain of educational assessment, there is a balance to strike between

As the participants experienced success in completinghands-on activities, it contributed to the growth in their self-efficacy score in the anxiety section.An area of future study is to target the component of verbal persuasion, the verbal affirmation thatan individual can master or complete assigned task. We note that there was a drop in the motivationsection of the robotics self-efficacy survey. One reason for this may be because we integratedmotivational talks, i.e., verbal affirmations of participants’ abilities, only in the first few days ofPD. Following daily reflections
