on students’ identity, asking:RQ1: How does an open-ended, real-world problem influence the development of studentengineering identity?RQ2: How do open-ended, real-world problems generate a sense of engineering identity?BackgroundThe engineering education community has recently shown high interest in the study ofengineering identity development in undergraduate students, which has been found to haveimportant links to student retention and education, perhaps particularly for students frompopulations underrepresented in engineering [6], [7], [10]. Godwin’s work on the developmentof a survey instrument to measure engineering identity [1] has been widely cited and used withinthe field in recent work. Godwin’s instrument employs a three-factor

To be included in the subsequent analysis, degree programs were required tomeet all of the following criteria: (1) contain “mechatronics” in the name, (2) culminate in acertificate/credential, or more formal degree (i.e., Bachelor’s degree), (3) offered through acollege, university, or accredited online education institution, and (4) consisted of multiplecourses (i.e., not just one mechatronics course offered within a degree in another field). Graduateprograms were excluded to ensure results would be comparable to the Phase 1 survey of industryprofessionals. This search identified 29 mechatronics-related

—most notably is: Where do we, asmembers of the engineering education community, start? Is an entirely new approach needed orcan we find ways to complement current pedagogical approaches to engineering curricula? Aswith most debates, the solution most likely is somewhere in between; this means recognizing theexisting conventions effectively employed amongst experts while developing new conventionsthat make the foundations of engineering education easier and more accessible for novicesinterested in entering this profession that brings form and function to the world we live in.Theoretical Background:In the early 1970’s, Jerome Bruner, a prominent American psychologist, disparaged theprevailing educational practice of rote memorization as a

continueto develop ML/AI educational programming in response to the growing demand: promotingmeaningful social connection, defining and sharing numerous pathways within ML/AI, and thinkingcarefully about building programming confidence and avoiding the weed-out effect.Prior work has shown that social belonging intervention through worksheet-style materials improvedperformance, confidence, health, and social engagement, particularly for women and Black studentsin engineering and CS [48], [49]. Our study proposes a potential alternative form of social belongingintervention through diverse opportunities for social connection.
