has been given to the unique experiences and challenges of nontraditional students inonline and evening programs. This study seeks to fill this gap by providing insights into theirexpectations, perceptions, and learning outcomes.MethodologyA qualitative, focus group-based study explored students' perceptions of physics courses in anevening and online engineering program. This approach was selected because it generates rich,dynamic, and collaborative discussions, allowing participants to reflect and build on theirexperiences [6] collectively.ParticipantsThe study included seven students enrolled in an engineering program at a private university inChile. The participants were divided into two focus groups: one composed of four students andthe

the student,rather on the instructor as the case with the traditional form of leraning [4]. This has brought asignificant improvement during the learning process of many students. Active learning is apedagogical tool that has helped promote ‘students’ cognitive capabilities when it comes tomastery of the content [5]. Meaningful conversations, proper reflection, and content mastery areproducts of this learning mode [6].Experiment-centric-pedagogy (ECP), an instructional technique that facilitates activite learning,offers an alternate route for acquiring technical skills and information both inside and outside ofthe classroom. ECP enabls students with different learning styles to learn at their own pace and intheir own settings. Instructors

to improve the course (n = 22 responses)Figure 4. Categories of analyses of data collected from students and instructors via onlinesurveys.Software Installation and Learning CurveThe survey revealed varying perceptions of the Tracker software's usability. Most students(79%) reported that installing the Tracker© software was straightforward. This reflects theirdigital proficiency and familiarity with technology, an advantage of engaging a generation ofdigital natives. However, the learning curve presented a notable challenge, as nearly half (48%)of the students found mastering the software time-consuming. This suggests that while thesoftware is accessible and easy to install, a lack of structured onboarding materials may impedeefficient

theteaching and learning of a physics course through the students' perception. The modifiedILD has the same three stages as the original ILD, with two main differences in whoperforms the experiment and when it is performed. Specifically, the three phases in themodified ILD are 1) predict, 2) experiment (by students working in groups, not theinstructor), and 3) reflect (in groups, not individually). The first phase, prediction, beginswith the analysis of a physical situation in which students have to predict the behavior ofthe situation based on the knowledge imparted in the session by the instructor. This occursat the end of the instructor's exposition. The second phase occurs in the laboratory sectionof the course and relates to students' experience

persistence are key drivers of success, asstudents who believe in their abilities are more likely to tackle complex problems with resilience.This is particularly relevant in spatial reasoning, where tasks such as mental rotation and objectmanipulation require sustained cognitive effort. Students with strong work ethics and enjoymentof physics problem-solving outperform their peers, as intrinsic motivation enhances cognitiveresource allocation and perseverance [10], [11]. Intrinsic motivation, fostered by positive attitudestoward physics, directly supports the development of spatial abilities. Enjoyment in solvingphysics problems reflects an alignment of interest and capability, which facilitates deeperengagement with abstract and spatially demanding

questionsFinally, the results of the open-ended questions in the survey will be presented. The firstquestion invited students to leave additional comments about the importance of the coursein an engineering program. Student response to the engineering course reflects a mixture ofappreciation and criticism. On the one hand, some students value the course for developingand expanding their ability to evaluate everyday situations methodically, which contributesto a better adaptation in the workplace, regardless of the direct use of the syllabus learned.However, others express frustration at being unable to understand key concepts, such asvoltage, resistance, impedance, and coil operation, pointing to a disconnect between theresolution of exercises and the

initiative to comprehend and buildmore in-depth information and skills needed for scientific applications. Hence, an undergraduatecourse should incorporate applied laboratory implementation applications. As such, educators areresponsible for ensuring that students acquire a strong sense of learning motivation and scientificinquiry skills [12]. School laboratories are a crucial part of any STEM education. They enhancestudents’ engagement in a variety of experimental learning skills, such as conception andexperimentation followed by reflection, analysis, and data interpretation. Establishing the worthof the laboratory equipment in the department is crucial before starting a comparison of labmodalities. Topics in the laboratory manual for Introduction

the sample reflect the contributions of computer science and engineering to the development of QISE courses and programs. • Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) play a crucial role in advancing educational opportunities for historically marginalized populations, aligning with the goals of fostering diversity in QISE. Additionally, three legislative initiatives motivating this work—the National Quantum Initiative Act (NQI), the CHIPS Act, and the National Science and Technology Policy (NSP)—all emphasize the need for increased diversity in QISE [1, 3, 2].All of the institutions included in this study account for 98% of engineering bachelors degreesawarded in the most recent year for which Integrated Postsecondary
