science education literature onrepresentational competence discussed above, is to provide students physical representations ofthe abstractions used to construct these problems so they can develop a better conceptualunderstanding of these systems rather than just memorizing problem solving procedures. Asimplemented and described further below, the SMK activities generally provide the first exampleapplication(s) of the relevant concept(s) after students encounter new topics through pre-classreading assignments. Students can directly relate these models to the problems they see inexamples in the reading and homework assignments.The SMK approach offers several other benefits that can facilitate the inclusion of physicalmodeling activities in any

student learning and professional formation that are well-recognized inengineering education.Additionally, when we understand shame as an internal experience of individuals related to socialconnection, we can see compelling threads of this phenomenon in engineering education research. Forexample, Foor et al.’s ethnography highlights Inez’s painful experience of desiring acceptance by otherengineering students.13 Additionally, in their grounded-theory study on help-seeking behaviors, Herringand Walther highlight how several participants avoided seeking help in classes.

. These tests offer threetrials based on the student’s performance. If the student passes the test with a grade of B (80%)or more on a trial, s/he does not have to take the next trial. Each new trial involves new questionsthat have similar difficulty levels to the previous trial. Therefore, if the student retake a trial,his/her grade will be reduced in the successive trials. The student will not receive a grade untilhe/she successfully solves the trial or exhaust all the trials. In other mastery applications,resubmission would involve an assignment or evaluation instrument that is slightly harder thanthe previous one; therefore, students who resubmit do not receive a reduced grade.
