Question6, “I am interested in engineering/science that is relevant to sub-Saharan Africa,” showed overthree-quarters of students rating a ‘4’ or ‘5’ post-workshop (Figure 2B). Question 7, “Iunderstand how to design with the cultural setting in mind, and I am comfortable working ondesign projects for settings with varying resources,” was rated as a ‘4’ or ‘5’ post-workshop byall students (Figure 2C). All three questions demonstrated significance between pre- and post-workshop responses.Figure 2.

Furthermore, items about awareness ormindsets such as The Engineer and the World”, “Ethics”, and “Lifelong learning” are not subject tograding, making them of lower priority in learners' ordinary minds. Therefore, increasing awareness ofsuch items and conducting reflections through feedback on achievements that have not been graded buthave been acquired by participants in post-program feedback are expected to contribute to the qualitativeimprovement of engineering education.Regarding the applicability of the text-mining method, this approach is suitable for arranging informationcontained in writing at various levels, such as letters, words, and
