The percentage of men tends to bemoderately confident or somewhat confident with applying sustainability into their designs. 50%of women reported being not confident in applying sustainability, and only 12% of womenreported being very confident. Because the alumni participants had little to no coverage ofsustainability concepts during their undergraduate career, it‘s assumed that this directly affectedtheir confidence levels in applying sustainable practices in their work. As shown in Figure 10, itis possible to influence confidence levels and one's ability to add sustainability into their designwork.Figure 10.

STS postures takes a traditionallypassive educational environment and introduces movement and change making to theengineering curriculum. Instead of sitting in seats in the classroom, we encourage students tomove about. We try out different ways of holding ourselves and moving (literally our bodies) inrelation to each other, STS, engineering, education, and technological artifacts. This change inposture is key to having agency in directing the future of science and technology, whether intheir own education, their extracurricular work, or their careers.

With no connection to theircareer, students often see a drop in performance and career development. Therefore, newproblems from biological and environmental engineering disciplines are introduced into thecourse. This study examines the self-efficacy developed within students and the perceived valuethey ascribe to new problems that teach fundamental statics concepts and focus on biological andenvironmental principles.

The SD-FIRST program will help fill in the gaps of first-generation students’home-to-college transition, provide a robust support system by connecting existing campusresources, and provide guidance for staff and faculty on interactions and unique challenges withthis student population.

Learning in the Pursuit of InnovationIntroductionInnovation education experiences have now become an expectation of the University to helpprepare students with creative ways of thinking to address the issues they will face in their livesand careers. These innovation-focused experiences have seemingly become more important asuniversities are now touting their national rankings related to innovation output (i.e., patents,start-ups, etc.) while at the same time more people are questioning the value of higher educationitself. As more people question the value of post-secondary programs, thinking about howinnovation education contributes to students’ personal and professional success is both vital andtimely.

Students who have an outlet to relieve stress are likely to have more personalcontrol and self-efficacy, leading to lower mental health distress [22].To combat the stress that students face through their college careers, students develop a multitudeof coping strategies. A study of undergraduate students found that the coping strategies employedby students were physical activity, nutrition, spiritual growth, and social support (parent and peer)[23]. In a study looking at gender differences in stress and coping mechanisms, women were morelikely to utilize

They analyzed how each skill was taught through thecurriculum and concluded that project work and laboratories were especially important atreinforcing these skills.

Singapore is a diverse, multicultural society. Hence, one canexpect a range of different experiences from different people and groups and, thus, a largevariety of methods that were learned. Many Singaporeans are not encouraged or motivated topursue an engineering or science major as they may believe other career options offer betterjob prospects.

Problems areoften presented free of broader contexts in which the concepts might apply, and they ask studentsto employ complex math and physics concepts to scenarios that might bear little, if any,resemblance to the real world or their lived experiences. Such issues can present challenges forstudents as they struggle to understand the relevance or application of the concepts they arelearning both within their lives and the engineering profession more broadly. Without makingmeaningful connections between their lived experiences and the content they are learning,engineering students can lose motivation and expectations for success in their academic andprofessional careers (Kosovich, Hulleman, Phelps, & Lee, 2019).One way that
