For researchers, this finding underscores the importanceof studying the impact of instructors' beliefs and prior knowledge on their classroom practices.Understanding how these factors can inform the development of effective instructor trainingprograms and the design of research studies that explore the best practices for improvingteaching and learning outcomes. These programs can emphasize the integration of topic-specificprofessional knowledge (TSPK) and provide instructors with practical strategies applicable toengineering courses. Additionally, given the challenge of changing deeply held

conflict.” Delp [29] discusses how teamwork is often a focus in first-year hands-on design courses and the likely impacts on students with ASD.Previous research has explored the impacts of first-year engineering design (FYED) courses onthe persistence, self-efficacy, and identity of engineering students; e.g., [30-31]. The activelearning style typically used to teach first-year engineering design courses may be particularlywell suited for students with ADHD. A study in physics found that “active learningenvironments… cater to ADHD students’ strengths due to their flexibility and adaptability tounique ways of thinking and processing” [32].Within engineering, previous studies have found that engineering identity contributes topersistence intentions

Based on the survey results, the top three factorsimpacting major selection were job opportunities after graduation, personal interest, and salarylevels. Examining demographics, gender did not have a significant effect on impacting factors,but first-generation college student status did, with first-generation students ranking personalinterest and role models significantly lower than non-first-generation students. There weredifferences in impacting factors between majors, with computer science students rating jobopportunities and salary higher than all other majors
