that has superpowers based on fluid properties. This is the firstassignment for a fluid mechanics (hydraulics) course. The writing assignment requires students tocreate their superhero's name, logo/symbol, origin story, superpowers, the villain and injusticesthe superhero is motivated to fight against, and physical appearance, and character/personalitytraits. The superpowers must be based on fluid properties and align with the specific properties ofthe chosen fluid(s) the superhero uses or encounters.A worksheet is provided with questions to help students with ideation and organization of ideas,storylines, and details. A grading rubric is also provided to help students understand assignmentgrading and expectations. The inspiration for this

Wehope that you look to create a similar program on your campus and can use this model as a startingpoint. Next steps for this program evaluation include collecting qualitative data by interviewingparticipants as well as recruiting students for future semesters to increase the reliability of thequantitative results.Acknowledgements This work is based upon work supported primarily by the National Science Foundationunder Cooperative Agreement No. EEC-2217741.

frequent low-stakesdeadlines to create a rhythm, rather than leaving everything to a midterm and final exam. While some studentsindependently used calendars and timers, others did not or could not. Thus, course-level scaffolding can ensureno student falls through the cracks due to self-regulation difficulties. The scarcity of peer engagement in online STEM courses also shaped learners’ experiences. In line withDillenbourg et al.’s emphasis on structured peer interaction for active learning [8], the participants found virtualclassrooms isolating and not conducive to teamwork or community. The lack of informal academic discoursehindered group project dynamics and the formation of an academic identity or sense of belonging. This isparticularly
