The engineers learned through multiplevenues, including such as learning by themselves and learning from their mentors. Thisstudy will provide practical suggestions for improving engineering education in bothChina and other similar contexts.Introduction Previous studies have indicated that engineering graduates still do not fully reachthe requirement of the industry whether from a global or domestic perspective [1],[2],[3]. Therefore, it has become a challenge for universities to enrich the industrialexperience of engineering students in the process of school education

framework are the blocking factor and the delayfactor. The blocking factor of a course refers to the number of courses inaccessible to a studentwho fails the course in question. The delay factor of a course is the longest prerequisite chainflowing through it. When added together, the two metrics form the course’s cruciality. Ademonstration of the calculation for the blocking factor and delay factor is given in Figure 1. Tocharacterize the overall curriculum's complexity, we can sum the crucialities together to form anaggregate measure called the structural complexity. Previous research has shown that structuralcomplexity correlates well with FTIC student graduation rates [5] but does not for transferstudents [6], suggesting that the current metric

In fact, the 2020 report of theNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine states that Kuwaiti femalesexperience no gender-related academic barriers, with females comprising 60%–80% of collegestudents in STEM programs and 81.7% of governmental STEM jobs [1].

One method to learn moreabout the utilization of active learning pedagogies is to observe teaching and learning in real timeusing a protocol that describes the interaction between pedagogy, space, and technology [1]. Theuse of observation to provide information on teaching practices is a well documented concept[2], [3], [4].

IntroductionGiven clear evidence of disparities in educational attainment, much importance has been placedon increasing use of inclusive teaching to help close this so-called achievement gap [1]–[4]. Inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines, deliberate inclusive practicemay reduce the “leaving” phenomenon where those underrepresented amongst STEM majorssuch as women and minoritized racial groups would otherwise fail to complete their STEMdegree program [5]–[7]. For example, active learning has been shown to improve learning gainsand reduce failure rates especially among underrepresented minority (URM) students [2].Similarly, current recommendations

This early exposure is also useful in understanding connectionsbetween coursework related to mathematics, science, and liberal arts. For example, a pilot studyfound that students who were introduced to neuroscience in the context of health sciencespossessed an increased knowledge and awareness of the growing concerns related to mentalhealth issues [2]. Another study found that students who pursued higher education in STEMreported having an early personal connection to their field through a family member or friendwith a career in STEM [3].
