I learned more about what they are involved with in their engineering program… Sometechnical information I received was from Student A, who has worked on construction projects with her dad eversince she was a kid. She taught me some construction practices that I would have never thought about in regards tomeasuring the plastic more efficiently and effectively.

Good, Rattan, & Dweck7found that women who perceived a gender stereotype in their college calculus classesexperienced a drop in math belonging, and that drop predicted lower course grades and intent topursue math in the future. Information about belonging is provided by cues from students’ learning environment .7Thus, a learning environment that increases belonging by

. Limited research studies involve rigorous assessments of the effects of CSA moduleson students’ learning and problem solving15, 16.It has become a widespread practice to use computer-based tools to enhance learning. However,using computers just for the sake of using computers or to appear “modern” can be adisadvantage to teaching engineering mechanics. In spite of significant progress in computer-assisted teaching, most students need to draw free-body diagrams and then write equilibriumequations, kinematic constraints, etc., to grasp different concepts of engineering mechanics. Forthis reason, the most successful methods, such as computer-aided instruction problems andinteractive computer tutorials, are an augmentation of the traditional context7
