to explore AI ideas.We followed the literature review guidelines suggested by Grant et al. [15] to conduct thisliterature review.Literature searchWith the growing surge of AI and open-access publications, searching even with well-definedcriteria is difficult. Thus, we decided to focus on research publications collected on one of themost widely used and accessible web-based databases for this study. The literature search wasconducted in December 2022 by using Education Resources Information Center (ERIC). Thedecision to use ERIC was because ERIC is good for locating a broad array of literature related toall aspects of education and across educational levels.Multiple rounds of searches were conducted on the source database using different
international GSI. It covers courses taught at threedifferent universities, with class sizes ranging from small to large, all located in the northwesternUnited States. Table 1 lists the courses that I taught as a GSA, and had responsibility for overseeingTAs, while Table 2 lists the courses for which I was a TA. Each class operates on a 10-week quarterschedule, with the number of 50-minute lectures per week determined by the course credits. Forexample, a four-credit course includes four lecture sessions each week. Additionally, all coursesthat were required courses in the mechanical engineering curriculum, except for the cryo-biomedical engineering course that I taught in Autumn 2022.

As faculty and administrators in the OhioUniversity Russ College of Engineering and Technology were learning and monitoring thestudies on mental health challenges, students took the lead on proposing some practicalsolutions. In Fall of the 2021-2022 academic year, a small group of students worked with a fewfaculty and staff to create a community to promote wellness and create a space for students tofeel that it was ‘okay not to be okay’. These initial efforts to initiate conversations

Respondents that declined to provide demographic information are referred tohereafter as ‘unknown.’ In addition to demographic data, the survey included items that shed lighton the students’ perspectives on research careers, including careers in academia and industry. Thefollowing questions are analyzed in this paper: • Have you considered pursuing a career in academia, such as becoming a faculty member? • Are you interested in working in R&D (research and design) in the industry? • What do you think is your greatest obstacle to pursuing a research career?

). Many community colleges across the U.S. offer engineering courses whichtransfer to a four-year university, and 42.7% of engineering students are enrolled at a communitycollege at some point in their education (NSF, 2019). However, year-over-year retention ofstudents in community colleges is low – freshman-to-sophomore rates of retention hover around55% on average (Monaghan and Sommers, 2022). One reason for low retention is thatcommunity college students tend to have more commitments outside of school than theircounterparts at four-year universities. Many colleges offer programs intended to increaseretention and engagement among these students (such as research, scholarships, and formalmentorship). In this review, I sought to answer the

Furthermore, to create a curriculum that has asignificant impact with measurable outcomes on a particular subject, it is essential to determinethe most appropriate delivery method for the target audience.References[1] American College Health Association (ACHA), “NCHA- II_Fall_2017_Reference_Group_Executive_Summary.pdf.” Accessed: Nov. 13, 2022.

employed the study demands-resources (SD-R) framework (Lesener et al., 2020) and studydemands-resources theory (Bakker & Mostert, 2024). This framework, adapted from the job demands-resources model in occupational psychology (Bakker & Demerouti, 2017), posits that student experiencesconsist of study demands and study resources. Study demands, such as mental effort and multitasking, arelinked to burnout and decreased well-being, while study resources, such as teacher and peer support,enhance engagement and well-being (Lesener et al., 2020). Study demands represent the challenges ofstudying, including concentration, social demands, and personal pressures (Salmela-Aro et al., 2022).Conversely, study resources are positive elements like
makerspaces enhances peer learning and mentorship,reinforcing the argument that these spaces are sites of technical skill development and hubs forfostering academic and social growth (Barrett et al., 2015). The role of undergraduate students in makerspaces directly contributes to cultivating self-efficacy, further emphasizing the communal aspect of these environments. As Hunt andCulpepper (2017) argue, student staff members play an essential role in shaping the experiencesof their peers by supporting technical skill-building and promoting student engagement. Servingas a makerspace staff member enables students to develop technical, interpersonal, andleadership skills (Buckner et al., 2022), strengthening the collaborative nature of these

required to have experience teaching at least onesemester before Spring 2020. Note that to avoid making participants potentially identifiable, wewithhold demographic information and use “they/them” pronouns. Each faculty member wasinterviewed once, and interviews took place in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023. At the time ofinterviews, the university no longer had any COVID-restrictions. The timing of the interviewsmeant that students who had been juniors in Spring 2020 (first pandemic semester) would besophomores in Fall 2022. Accordingly, we scoped our investigation to first- and second-yearcourses. At the time, these were the only courses that students who experienced the pandemic formore than a semester during high school would have been taking.The
