RQ2: Why are undergraduate engineering students motivated to join engineering clubs? RQ3: What are the perceived benefits of engineering club participation?Students are motivated to join engineering clubs to find community with peers [3], applyknowledge to real-world settings [4], prepare for their careers [5], develop new skills [6], [7],and pursue personal interests [8].

A Web of Science search[48] found that the term empathy (or empathetic) was a much more common idea in highereducation and engineering than compassion, which in turn was much more common thankindness. Papers that resulted from the search on kindness and education were generally relatedto PK12 or medical settings (nursing and medical school). The pre-college papers tended tofocus on teaching kids and students to be kind in their behavior toward peers and more broadly.This had a focus on fostering kindness in pupils among an array of prosocial behaviors,sometimes included with social-emotional education.

A meta-analysis of 225 studies in undergraduatescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses found that “averageexamination scores improved by about 6% in active learning sections, and that students inclasses with traditional lecturing were 1.5 times more likely to fail than were students in classeswith active learning”4.Many student-centered approaches have been introduced to foster active learning. Theapproaches that can be employed to engage a larger number of students include graffiti walls,inside-outside circles, think-pair-shares, quick writes, physical movement, and student responsesystems5.

Past studies have indicated that students withADHD have an extremely high risk of academic failure and dropout, and are more than twice aslikely than their peers without ADHD to leave university. Traditional engineering programs arefailing to attract and retain neurodiverse learners, and thus do not benefit from these students’high potential for creative thinking. The disconnect between the traditional educationenvironment and the abilities of students with ADHD is not unique to higher education. In fact,high school students with ADHD have significantly lower GPAs and are over eight times morelikely to drop out

In the context of Scrum, this dimension reflects the framework's collaborative nature, where feedback sources are not limited to the traditional instructor-student dynamic but include peers and self-reflection [22]. 2. Feedback Timing: Timeliness in feedback is highlighted by Hattie and Timperley's [19] model of effective feedback, which emphasizes the importance of immediate feedback in learning processes.

solid argument for the need to help young adults acquire theknowledge they need to be safe online.Another explanation for young adults’ risky online behaviors is the way they think aboutthe Internet and privacy in general. Many young people think of the Internet as their ownpersonal space where they interact with their peers, and fail to recognize that theinformation meant for peer groups, as well as conversations among peers, are available tomany other, unintended audiences6. Similarly, a large study of 7,000 American collegestudents found that passwords, social security and credit card numbers were included inthe respondents’ notion of online privacy, but postings on social networking sites such asFacebook were not a matter of concern7

[4]found that for many students, coursework can be an external motivator as it imposes deadlinesand encourages them to interact with fellow students. Whereas, students perceive the writingphase as the most difficult. Common concerns with this last portion of the doctoral programinclude not having the necessary writing skills to communicate effectively, while beingchallenged to publicly demonstrate competence. Many students also shared concerns regardingtime management, questioning their abilities (personal and academic), isolation, and the expectedtime
