plans and drafts, and engaging in one-to-one conversations with students aboutwriting. Key HIP characteristics of the writing intensive courses dovetail with the capstoneprojects but reinforce “interactions with faculty and peers about substantive matters” and“periodic, structured opportunities to reflect and integrate learning.” Students in the CapstoneCourses submit weekly reports (low-stakes writing) and a very detailed technical report at theend of the semester (high-stakes writing). They are required to work with tutors from the WritingCenter on their end-of-semester reports. They also receive feedback from faculty and otherstudents [14].Undergraduate ResearchAll BE-TEC students can participate in faculty-mentored undergraduate research

importance of peer support throughout struggles students may face inacademia or the workplace. As a result, they saw team-building as a valuable way to strengthen acommunity. One instructor elaborated, “I started to do that, like actually trying to get them towork together more, because I want, because there’s so few, there’s so few women, and there’s sofew, like you, African Americans, and Latinos.”Communication was cited as critical in the job interview process and more broadly. Several of theeducators described the need for students to be able to clearly present ideas to a range ofaudiences and how practice could be beneficial. They found distinctive ways to make this part oftheir lessons. For example, as one participant mentioned: I also

professionals to maintain the countries’ relevance in these fields, thus anannual increase in the number of students who graduate with a STEM degree is required to meetthis demand. These calls also emphasize the need to increase graduation rates for studentsbelonging to groups that are underrepresented in STEM, as they currently leave STEM majors athigher rates than their represented peers. Undergraduate research experiences are frequentlyimplicated as a means for increasing interest in STEM fields and STEM graduate programs, andare correlated to students persisting to graduation. While research experiences can positivelyinfluence persistence in STEM fields, there are inequities in who gets to participate in theseexperiences. The limited number of

[17] study on cooperative inverse reinforcement learning concentrated on theoreticalaspects, lacking practical, real-world validation. Additionally, Vliet et al. [19] explored theeffects of flipped-class pedagogy on student motivation and learning strategies, notingimprovements in critical thinking and peer learning. However, the observed benefits wereshort-lived, suggesting the necessity for continuous application.In the Computer Architecture curriculum, teaching the challenging topics of single cycle andpipelined datapath design to senior students requires an innovative approach beyond traditionaltextbook methods.
