Inreferring to the ECE program, students characterized their experience in terms of “survival.” Onestudent called himself and his peers “veterans of ECE,” while others described the studentculture as “stressed.” Christopher, a sophomore in CompE, recalled his strategy for coping withthe rigor of ECE: Because it's hard, but trying to avoid burn out the only way to do is to follow the plan of study. What's better to do is learn when you are going to burn out and pick a time when you can afford it. If you can do it before the finals, do it right before the finals, because you don't want to do it the week of the exams, because you want to study at that time

One student discussed the differences between their previous beliefs of engineers as“typically non-social people who were only proficient at math and science” and those they holdas a result of participating in STEP, which included constructively using criticism and effectivelycommunicating ideas. Another student discussed their prior belief about engineers as “glorifiedfactory workers,” but, through the course and participation in STEP, came to see engineers as“dynamic problem solvers” who engage in “careful planning and out of the box problemsolving.” Additionally, students shared

We are targeting a class in the second yearto provide students with a grounding in CSP early in their engineering education so that theymight use these mindsets moving forward.

However, thecultural experience may have outshone the research challenges for the China participants, as theycertainly focused more on those topics during their interviews.Both IRES programs have several more years remaining, and we plan to continue collecting datafrom both programs.

Of course the RSS fluctuation can occur in this case as well, but the distance between the smartphones carried by the same student is very short. Hence the RSS values tend to be stable and high. Fig. 14 depicts the RSS values between two smartphones located less than 1m distance. The RSS values are quite higher than those of the previous measurements, and thus the attendance cheating can be detected. We plan to substantiate this idea as future work. Figure 15.
