As industries lean further into the world of 3Dmodeling, students need to learn how to effectively design in computer systems to communicatetheir visions. Therefore, universities need to keep up with the growing use of CAD and updatecurriculum to reflect the demands of industry including creative visualization skills,communication, and technical prowess [3].Experience is widely considered as the path to becoming an expert in any given field [4-6]. In thecase of CAD and more specifically modeling in CATIA, beginners start to build theirunderstanding of the program and the basic skills that go into 3D design. As these learners

In this course, students were put into groups and had to complete an engineering task (inmy case, build a simple robot); however, the class’s primary learning outcomes focused on non-technical concepts like engineering ethics, which made this course like a mini capstone wherestudents had to find the information themselves to complete their projects. Reflecting on thisproject, I realized that researching and building circuitry for robots was the primary reason forselecting Electrical Engineering. Therefore, when I look at the department’s RED program, I seea similar ideology: an attempt to teach students more about the professional side of engineeringand empower students to take responsibility for learning.

Fromthe student perspective, mentees experience a sense of belonging, productive goal setting,feelings of accomplishment, and emotional support (AuCoin & Wright, 2021, pp. 610-611).Moreover, participants in one study reflected that faculty mentoring was “more helpful thanother interventions” serving as a “crucial opportunity to learn about science, scientists, andscientific process…” (Ceyhan et al., 2019, p. 258). Chelberg and Bosman (2019) found facultymentorship to be especially impactful to underrepresented STEM students as it aided in their“development, retention, persistence, and navigation of the postsecondary setting” (p. 45).Zeller’s et al.

We includedthose studies published between 2020 and 2024. This publication range was chosen to reflect themost current AI applications and practices being used in educational contexts and to capture thelatest related best practices. We then established exclusion criteria to omit any study that failed tomeet inclusion benchmarks. These included studies that were non-empirical, outside thespecified timeframe, and not written in English.

Active learning is apedagogical tool that has helped promote ‘students’ cognitive capabilities when it comes tomastery of the content [5]. Meaningful conversations, proper reflection, and content mastery areproducts of this learning mode [6].Experiment-centric-pedagogy (ECP), an instructional technique that facilitates activite learning,offers an alternate route for acquiring technical skills and information both inside and outside ofthe classroom. ECP enabls students with different learning styles to learn at their own pace and intheir own settings. Instructors

Epistemic belief, which reflects students’ views on the nature ofknowledge and knowing, plays a crucial role in the cognitive, metacognitive, and affectivedimensions of students’ learning. Research has demonstrated that interventions targeting epistemicbeliefs can significantly enhance learning outcomes (Greene et al., 2018). Epistemic cognition -mostly measured in terms of belief (Greene et al., 2018) – is identified as the apex of

Ability to apply the chain rule correctly. Ability to determine the domain on which the chain rule is applied.APOS theory is briefly explained in [10] as follows: An action is a transformation of objects perceived as essentially external and as requiring, either explicitly or from memory, step-by-step instructions on how to perform the operation. When an action is repeated and the individual reflects upon it, the individual can make an internal mental construction called a process which the individual can think of as performing the same

The write-inresponses reflect this range of framing. Some of the conditions listed are not traditionallyconsidered forms of neurodivergence under a medical model (e.g., anxiety) but are moreclassically considered mental disorders or internalizing disorders (Andrews et al., 2008).
