More specifically, first-year engineering design courses can provide positive foundationsthat support building a student’s engineering identity and sense of belonging in STEM. Whenstudents are provided hands-on learning opportunities that support their development of technicalskills, their confidence builds [3

Teachers’ commitment plays a central role in the expansion and, subse-quently, the sustenance of computer science education, both on a rural and urban scale.Teacher training supports educators by boosting their commitment and confidence in theirability to teach computer science as well as leading students in completing course capstoneprojects [40].

Meanwhile, data skills have become crucial for engineering graduates [2], thoughintegrating data science into engineering curricula varies across institutions [9].

Many ofthese are framed around global study abroad experiences, with scholars noting that even short-term experiences can lead to heightened understandings of globalization and cultural awareness[37]-[39].
