tothe vital nature of the Statics course itself to education for future engineers, it was beneficial toprepare a systematic review, providing an objective summary of the current research landscapeof Statics interventions.Categorization of Course InterventionThe intervention categories we considered fall under a set of three intervention frameworks:Harackiewicz and Prinski (2018)’s motivational interventions, Donker et al. (2014)’s learningstrategy interventions, and Borrego et al.

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

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.

Instead, wewant students to exercise their critical thinking to build their own debugging skills given minimaldirection. In the root-finding example, students are not told which equation(s) the autograder isusing to determine their function’s accuracy. However, students are given a list of equations toperform their own tests. It is our expectation that if the autograder says “Your bisection code isnot

There could also be investigations into whether students experience post-quiz anxiety or cognitive biases that influence their self-assessments.The pre-quiz predictions of the students tended to better at the end of the course compared to thebeginning. However, this was not the case for the post-quiz surveys. Also, the regressioncoefficient was fairly low, indicating only a small correlation. So, although there is a slight trendhere, there is little evidence to support the second hypothesis of students being better atpredictions at the end of the course.It was found that students in their early and mid 20’s tended to be the ones who underestimatedtheir abilities
