a B.S. degree.Not all civil engineering students are the high school students who are attracted to the highsalaries and appeal of high technology of other engineering disciplines. To meet industrydemands, the pool of students must be broadened. Thus, civil engineering departments mustexpand and improve their student support to retain and graduate students. Engineering educationis rigorous, and traditional methods to support student success have included tutoring,supplemental instruction, and workshops on meta-cognitive learning and time managementstrategies. Workforce training through internships is often reserved for students who have “madeit” through their early course work and have reached their upper division technical training.Research

[17] They note that personalizing a course to astudent's needs, interests, and skills leads to more motivated students and deeper learning. Studentsreported that they became more aware of the learning process and recognized the importance of settinglearning objectives.The Task Environment is enhanced with
, especially for historically marginalized and minoritized students [1], [2]. Ong et al statethat as the demographics of the United States continue to shift, educational institutions have boththe obligation and motivation to develop learning environments that benefit students of allbackgrounds [3]. The classroom experience is a pivotal piece of a student’s collegiateexperience, and research has demonstrated the positive impacts of prioritizing and improvinginclusivity in the classroom to improve student experiences and belonging [1], [2], [4], [5]. Thisis especially important in the context of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math(STEM) classrooms, and more specifically engineering classrooms, because historically, the lackof diversity in
students provided anarrative of significant hurdles that may hinder success.Realizing the importance of undergraduate research for enriching the undergraduate learningexperience, UVU encourages undergraduate research through various grants. This includes the(i) Undergraduate Research Scholarly and Creative Activities (URSCA), (ii) D. Clark and PamTurner Endowment for Engaged Learning in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering andMath) Research Fellowships (TEELS), (iii) College of Science Scholarly Activities Committee(SAC), and the Grants for Engaged Learning (GEL). A common denominator of all thesefundings is the requirement for the students to be paired with a faculty mentor/advisor. To furtheraddress the challenge of time shortage, UVU allows
other academic levels (e.g., non-degree, undergraduate)[1].2.1.1 Engineering Students' Experiences in NigeriaIn a typical public university in Nigeria, the student-to-teacher ratio is very high [19]. With moreengineering students, and fewer engineering faculty members, Nigerian engineering students(especially those in a non-private institutions) attend overcrowded classes [20], that are mostlynot technologically supported to enhance learning. As such, the students may have to: 1) get tothe class earlier (to secure a good sitting spot), 2) shun the noises and be highly attentive to thelecture, 3) seek a tutoring time (often conducted by a senior student who has previously done theclass before and more knowledgeable), 4) join smaller study group

oftenrequiring interdisciplinary teamwork. Students need to negotiate a range of viewpoints, including avariety of specialties, and balance their unique contributions to form a coherent whole. Teamworkis a necessary skill for engineers with its significance recognized by ABET (Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology): Criterion 3, Student Outcome 5 - “Students should be able tofunction effectively as members of a technical team, and as leaders on technical teams”.Teamwork is often the key to solving the complex problems engineers face.
