witheventual success in the field after graduation [4-6]. Some universities have implementedintervention strategies by gearing curriculum and department culture towards supportingstudents’ development of their individual engineering identities with this known promise ofstudent success [6]. Some major curricular changes surround the emphasis on design problemsused throughout engineering courses that inherently help students to feel more like an engineerafter completing the project [7]. Because the act of problem-solving correlates with the directdevelopment of all three of Godwin’s facets of engineering identity, providing more opportunityfor students to solve real-world problems correlates to retention [8] and success in the field [9].Studies have

equations and conceptual definitions while providing handwritten step-by-stepguidance for practice problems. I adapted by shifting from writing on an iPad to using slides thatincluded pre-built equations and solutions for examples. However, I noticed that students found iteasier to follow when I wrote out solutions during demonstrations. This led me to adopt a hybridformat—using slides for presentations and final solutions but handwriting for demonstrations. Theeffectiveness of these pace adjustments was evident in the absence of pace-related concerns incourse evaluations. Students also reported that the integration of real-life examples significantlyenhanced their learning experience and conceptual understanding. In this quarter, the

transform theirexperiences in makerspaces into actionable insights, providing valuable implications for thedesign and management of these spaces in educational settings.Literature Makerspaces have become increasingly integrated into educational settings, providingstudents with hands-on engagement and problem-solving opportunities that bridge theoreticallearning with practical application (Halverson & Sheridan, 2014). One of the definingcharacteristics of makerspaces is their reliance on undergraduate students, who serve both asusers and staff. These dual roles create an environment where students can explore careerpathways while fostering learning and collaboration among their peers (Foster, 2015).Integrating undergraduate staff in

integrating project-based learning in the ECE curriculum. Through an isolated and emotional experience, this studywas able to document the effect of project-based learning (PBL) on conceptual connections andearly professional development.IntroductionProject-based learning (PBL) has long been recognized as an integral tool in engineeringeducation, enabling students to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical applications throughhands-on experiences [1-2]. Research demonstrates that, compared to traditional curricula,students in PBL-focused programs exhibit significantly increased levels of self-efficacy, intrinsicvalue, cognitive strategy use, and self-regulation [1]. Furthermore, PBL fosters a greaterabundance of self-regulated learners and

cognition incontext more naturally, facilitating deeper learning.Integrating informal methods with formal procedures can significantly enhance mathematicalunderstanding. This approach allows learners to connect intuitive problem-solving strategieswith structured mathematical concepts, fostering a deeper comprehension of the subjectmatter. In the study by Hattikudur et al. [25], participants were introduced to two distinctmethods for solving systems of equations: an informal “trading” procedure and a formal“matrix” procedure. They examined how comparing informal and formal procedures affectslearning in solving systems of equations. Similarly, Civil [5] provides valuable insights intohow integrating everyday mathematics with formal mathematical

program accreditation, how to promote the gradual establishment ofeffective self-improvement mechanisms is still a topic worth exploring. Continuousquality improvement is not only an important standard for program accreditation athome and abroad, but also an important aspect of quality assurance for institutionsand programs. However, both institutions and programs have shortcomings in theirefforts toward continuous improvement.5.2 Inspirations from continuous quality improvement in engineering education(1) Integrating the concept of CQI and leading the reform of engineering educationThe concept of CQI is not only the goal of external program accreditation, but also thepurpose of continuous improvement in engineering education.

and proactively integrating stress management techniques intothe curriculum.5.1 Implications for Educational EquityThe findings of this study underscore an alarming gap in educational equity within onlinelearning environments, particularly regarding diverse student groups. The disproportionatechallenges faced by students from various demographic backgrounds align with existing researchon educational inequality, suggesting that systemic barriers often obstruct access to the resourcesnecessary for academic success [19], [20], [21]. The results signal a critical need for institutionsto reassess their training and support mechanisms to promote equitable outcomes across diversestudent populations.
