] concluded that a fully-flipped statistics course for engineers enabled more personalizedlearning and instruction than a partially-flipped classroom. A study led by Motamedi [19]indicated that a flipped and “modified instructor-guided” pedagogy for a data analysis coursefor engineers yielded higher computational understanding and theoretical and statistical self-efficacy than a problem-based learning approach. However, problem-based learning tended toresult in higher self-efficacy for using data analysis software. Similarly, Huang et al. [20]found that students in a project-based learning intervention were more likely than those in anonline course to talk about the connection between statistics and their disciplines but notthemselves. They posited

) framework to provide undergraduate students with morepractice in tissue characterization. The framework involves structuring a multi-week lab thatintegrates theoretical foundations, bioinstrumentation background, experimental design, and dataanalysis. The goal of the framework is to enhance lab-based learning by providing opportunitiesfor students to incorporate multiple levels of Blooms Taxonomy. By consolidating theseopportunities into a multi-week module, we hypothesized that students would experience morereinforcement and thus self-efficacy with these experimental methods. For this study, we focusedon the development of a TDA module to measure apoptosis in tissue constructs using real-time,reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR

these experiments were visualized in real-time.To measure the key constructs associated with students’ success (motivation, epistemic andperceptual curiosity, and self-efficacy), data collection was done pre-and post-implementation ofthe experiments using the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) developed byPintrich, Smith, García, and McKeachie, in 1991. Also, the Classroom Observation Protocol forUndergraduate STEM (COPUS) was employed to characterize the simultaneous activities ofinstructors and learners during class sessions. More so, students’ understanding of the course andthe application of knowledge gained were evaluated using signature assignments.Data analysis was conducted using Statistical Package for Social

a professional educationcomponent consistent with the institution's mission and the program's educational objectives andpromotes diversity, equity, and inclusion awareness for career success [3]. "The need to feelbelongingness and linked with others" is how relatedness is defined (Baumeister and Leary [8]).According to studies, learning environments that provide a sense of connectedness to peers,parents, and instructors can enhance motivation and improve academic results (Ryan, et al. [9]).Self-efficacy, engagement, interest in school, higher grades, and retention have all beenconnected to feelings of relatedness, which are measured in terms of "school environment" andinstructor-student connections (Inkelas, et al. [10]). Research on

focus of this paper, has experiencedsimilar outcomes. A notable uptick in graduation rates at CU occurred between 2009 and 2015,with six-year degree completions reaching 62.2%, yet recent years have witnessed plateaus inretention rates. Persistent disparities befall minoritized students [1], [2]. These stagnantcompletion rates occur in the face of substantial need for increased engineering talent, bothnationally and globally, to support fields including technology, security, transportation, andinfrastructure.The causes of student attrition from engineering are multifaceted and vary across demographics.A range of known issues includes an unwelcoming climate, conceptual difficulties in corecourses that hamper progress toward degree, lack of self
