robust information literacy-data applicationdynamic, show an intuitive response that is less confident, As demonstrated by the followingexcerpt by an Aerospace Engineering Junior called Charles Xavier, when he was subtly asked todisplay his intuitive thinking. Interviewer: So right now if I tell you design a glider, but with the wing of the glider, let it have a drag coefficient of 0.001. What's the first thing that comes to mind? Charles Xavier: I don't know how. If I'm designing a glider and I need that drag coefficient, I'd trial and error, probably look for airfoils online, try to get the shape of it down, then cut it and see if what happens, I guess that would be a starting point.Charles Xavier's response

Future research should focus ondeveloping strategies to enhance AI's interpretability, especially in complex subject areas likeengineering, and to mitigate misinformation generated by AI. There is also a need for studies thatexamine the efficacy of AI in understanding nuanced academic content and that investigate howto balance AI tools with traditional educational methods to maintain the development of criticalthinking and problem-solving skills in students.Practice ImplicationsThe practice implications drawn from the studies by [18] and [19] highlight that educators need tobe mindful of AI's limitations in educational settings.

American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) has also proposed a set of coreprinciples stipulating that engineering learning may be considered three dimensional with a focuson engineering habits of mind (e.g., creativity, iteration, collaboration), engineering practices(design, optimization, constraint assessment), and engineering knowledge (principles, problemsolving, and technological outputs) [5]. This approach diverges from the way STEM hastypically been taught in U.S. middle schools, where science and engineering principles are rarelyanchored in relevant phenomena [6]. Since teachers often assume the main responsibility forimplementing engineering tasks in their classrooms to comply with the widespread focus onSTEM integration, they may

factors contributing to mental health issues among college students, thereis a notable gap in the literature regarding international undergraduates in engineering.International students, with their different beliefs, values, and expectations related to mentalhealth, may have different coping strategies, help-seeking preferences, and service utilizationpatterns. Among various factors, religiosity may influence their approach to coping, seekingassistance, and utilizing services. With this in mind, this study investigates the impact ofreligiosity on the mental health, help-seeking behavior, and service utilization of internationalundergraduate engineering students in the United States.Purpose/Hypothesis: This study explores the relationship between

anational-scale invention education program. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the constructvalidity and potential utility of the measure, which was found to include two subscales: Ingenuityand Solution Seeking. The scale also demonstrated adequate internal consistency reliability.Correlations between children’s perceptions of their inventive habits of mind and theiridentification with STEAM subjects were moderate and highest for science. The findings suggestthat STEAM subject identification and an inventive mindset can, but do not always, overlap.Keywords: invention education, inventive mindset, STEM identity, STEAM, K-12 education.

CTA is a class ofobservational protocols that surface tacit knowledge through engaging experts with a task(Crandall, 2006). The purpose of CTA is to capture how the mind works through three primaryaspects: knowledge elicitation, data analysis, and knowledge representation. Many methods ofCTA exist, and best practices call for a combination of CTA methods. In this study we are usingtwo methods: 1) the Critical Decision Method (CDM), which assesses individuals decisionmaking in non-routine incidents through a set of cognitive probes (Klein, 1989), and 2) theKnowledge Audit Method (KAM), which we use to guide our probing questions and identifytypes of knowledge used, or not
students can approach these types ofapplications or having conversations with them afterwards to help them realize they have moreoptions than they think. We may not be able to guarantee that all students get to study their first-choice engineering major, but we should be better prepared to give them advice before and afterthey navigate these types of applications so they can align their preparation to their career goalsand have known alternative options in mind while making this tough decision.References[1] A.

supported broadly into specific features related to learning. The findings provideempirical grounding for ways to build belonging-minded engineering environments.A unique finding related to belonging in this study was the way students defined competence inengineering as an aspect of belonging. Studies have shown relationships between students’ senseof belonging and feelings of self-efficacy and competence [6], and with academic performance inengineering [3], but this study shows how engineering students directly interpret the meaning ofbelonging. Many participants related belonging to some expectation of performance. Forexample, were they performing well enough, able to contribute, deserving of their status as anengineering student?

learning goals for pre-college engineering are stillbeing contested. One argument, which is promoted in science standards, is that engineeringdesign provides an authentic context to apply science concepts [4] [5] [6]. However, others arguethat this represents too narrow a view of engineering and promotes misconceptions [7] [8]. Inresponse to these concerns, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) andAdvancing Excellence in P12 Engineering Education introduced a Framework for P-12Engineering Learning [9]. This framework outlines learning goals for engineering literacy thatmove beyond a narrow focus on practices, including engineering habits of mind and knowledge.In addition, the authors call for further research to scaffold learning
