the engineering classroom.However, teaching computation and programming within the engineering classroom does notcome without challenges. Often times, engineering instructors are dealing with overpackedcurriculum, students who lack confidence or ability within their programming, or lack familiaritywith the programming environments available and useful to students today [5]. Furthermore,gaps continue to exist within racial, gender, and socioeconomic differences [6]. However, recentwork has shown that integrating programming into the curriculum through the lens of popularapplications of its use can help broaden participation within computing disciplines [7].Innovations in computing environments have given rise to technology-enhanced learning

Many researchers referred to the college experience as the black box [13], as it isdifficult to determine which factors lead to retention or attrition of the students. In the currentstudy, an integrated conceptual framework that examined aspects of student success, sense ofbelonging, scientific identity, and conceptions of care within a STEM enrichment programenlightened a multifaceted model for identifying and describing the program's inner workingsand resulting student outcomes.Wilson et al.

In contrast, the four subscalesassociated with academic challenge reflect what students actually do in their academic endeavorsby measuring time on task associated with the various skills that students use and develop duringtheir college experience [15].Studies which focus on the emotional aspects of engagement are

The rise in use of more collaborativedelivery methods, such as Design-Build, Construction Management at Risk, Integrated ProjectDelivery, as well as previous research [3], [4] indicates the need for improving collaborationfrom an industry perspective.

However, the systematic integration of design and analysis in coursesis still lacking (Carberry & McKenna, 2014). Some of the outstanding research questions about PBL asproposed by Dym et al.
