(2014)’s learningstrategy interventions, and Borrego et al. (2013)’s practice and/or research-based instructionalstrategy (PRBIS) interventions.Harackiewicz and Prinski (2018) revised and evaluated psychology-driven interventionspresented two decades before its publication.

theyare more capable of performing a task. In this vein, constructive feedback plays a crucial role indeveloping strong self-efficacy beliefs. The fourth source of self-efficacy beliefs is emotionalarousal. Emotional arousal, that happens during challenging situations, can also help peopleinform themselves of their expectations of self-efficacy. High levels of emotional arousal canhamper an individual’s performance by increasing anxiety and stress.3. Research Question(s)This type of research, called sequential explanatory mixed-methods research, is practical in itsapproach. The research questions play a crucial role in guiding and shaping the entire process,including choosing the research design, determining the sample size, and selecting

A survey was created and administered in the Fall of 2022 with a cohort of studentsenrolled in a Rigid Dynamics course.

ML leverages labeled data tobuild models for predicting labels on unlabeled data. DL relies on extensive unlabeled datasets touncover underlying patterns within the dataset. On the other hand, knowledge-based modelingand simulation (M&S) techniques utilize known models to generate data for the analysis of newand existing designs. M&S works well for simple systems but becomes increasingly difficult formore complex systems. The difficulty comes from the uncertainties associated with each addedvariable being modeled.
