. Student-focused direct measures include students’ self-efficacy and self-regulatoryfactors for writing, collected through the Metacognitive Strategy Knowledge Test (MSKT).[17]This inventory is designed to measure strategies mapped to the three stages of writing(before/planning, during/writing, and after/reflecting) predicted by Metacognitive WritingKnowledge framework,[18], [19] which provides natural subscales. To measure self-efficacy andself-regulation, the Writing Self-Regulatory Efficacy Scale (WSRES) [20] has been adopted andadministered to participating students in the Writing SySTEM. The adoption process will involveminor rewording to items to make them more realistic for a graduate engineering student.Instruments will be given prior to

only rise in interestamong the students to learn more about the aviation industry but also the possibility ofsustainably implementing the curriculum utilizing existing equipment [8]. In addition, exposingthe students to aviation-themed learning activities has shown to help with determining themotivation and self-efficacy levels of the students toward STEM-based curriculum [9]. Inaddition, since UAS technologies are uniquely positioned to help with variety of workforceneeds, exposing students to UAS curriculum has shown to better prepare students towards STEMcareers [10].Utilization of simulators has been noted to be one of the methods of enhancing learningexperiences for the students and overall safety during training [11]. As it has also been

engineering courses, and the applicability of course content to real-worldchallenges. However, students did not report substantial gains in learning outcomes specificallyrelated to data science. Encouragingly, students also reported increased self-efficacy, includinggreater enthusiasm for engineering and a stronger willingness to seek academic support frompeers and instructors.RQ2: To what extent did students find the learning activities helpful to their learning?All respondents (100%) indicated that the laboratory experiments provided either “much” or“great” help to their learning. Feedback on their work was also rated highly, with two-thirds ofstudents ranking it as a major contributor to their understanding. Among all instructionalmethods
