TheBioengineering 101 module has been performed four times from 2019-2023 at the same highschool; however, the design and implementation of the module significantly evolved due to studentfeedback, faculty observations, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The evolution of how the modulewas implemented included changes in the age of the students (first year vs. third year students),the duration of the modules (two weeks vs. four weeks), and how the chemical engineering facultymember was able to directly engage with the students (in-person, virtually, or asynchronously).Assessment of the program through pre- and post-surveys found

An examination byIsmail et al. (2019) evaluated the impact of teamwork within project-based learning, shedding lighton its influence on individual cognitive and affective performance to complete coursework. Anotherresearch conducted by Misaki et al. (2020) also aligned with the growing consensus advocating

. 1Does endorsement of masculine ideals predict sense of belonging and identity over performance and peer interactions?A student’s social identity can be defined as “an individual’s knowledge of belonging to certainsocial groups, together with some emotional and valuational significance of that groupmembership” (Ellemers 2019). We chose to evaluate this concept using the peer relationsquestions from established work regarding the welcoming nature of engineering culture and therole of peers (Davis et al. 2023). Informal group discussions within the department indicated thatstudents felt their peers facilitated more judgement and served as a greater hindrance tobelonging within the department than their
