Their work indicated there wererelationships between the studied constructs – specifically, that reported feelings of stress,anxiety, and depression statistically decreased with increasing reports of inclusion [14].For this research we replicated the work of Jensen and Cross by deploying the same instrumentthey used in our project-based context. Using this instrument, we collected quantitative dataon: • Mental health: self-reported stress, anxiety, and depression • Professional identity: engineering identity and engineering career • Inclusion: department caring

engineeringprograms. To achieve their goals, Jensen and Cross examined stress, anxiety, and depression;engineering identity; and perceptions of inclusion in undergraduate engineering programs. Theycollected data from student populations at three large U. S. public universities. They hypothesizedthat levels of stress, anxiety, and depression would vary by social identities and that levels ofinclusion and engineering identity would vary by social identities and across socialidentities.To gather data Jensen and Cross relied upon a validated, quantitative survey that had oneopen-ended item. Their findings indicated that perceptions of inclusion and engineering identityare directly related to student mental health – measures of inclusion such as ”Department

To conclude, our findings suggested retaining items that strongly connect to the specifieddimensions and items that are not too easy for individuals to endorse the high rating scale categories (e.g.,like and strongly like”). Future studies may further explore the relationship between item stability andother item characteristics under different data conditions. ReferencesAbdi, H. (2010).

It can help automate instructor processes to provide students with constructive, concise, and summarized feedback, enabling them to improve their teamwork skills. Summarizing feedback is a valuable use case because it helps students develop the teamwork skills essential for engineers in the workplace[2]. Generally, students had positive perceptions of generative AI being utilized in this way; however, some students raised concerns about losing nuance in the summary and

phenomena and continue learning about interactions and situations betweenindividuals in a system. The growth of computation and simulations began in the 1950’s and 60’s in technicalsectors of natural science research like physics and chemistry intending to perform large-scalepredictive computations [13]–[15]. Beyond the natural sciences, computational techniques movedinto economics to perform large scale calculations and provide large new data storage options[16].Many of these computational techniques are the precursors to how we use ABM today to approachproblems. ABM has, more recently, found success and been proven reliable in simulations fortransmission and event prediction in medicine [11] and immunology [10]. These studies haveproduced

We focused onsoliciting significant milestones and key events from the participants and attempting tounderstand the roles of everyone in the team and how the person(s) influenced the dynamics.Therefore, we drafted the protocol based on the framework of Tuckman’s team developmentalsequence model [11-12] discussed in the literature review section above.

Although the term co-curricular is used inthis definition, there is much greater emphasis on the structure of prerequisite and corequisiterelationships. Still, by examining these roadmaps for how students are expected to progressthrough their discipline’s plan of study, we can understand how different curricular
