The results indicate that: (1) studentbiological sex and outcome expectations are statistically significant predictors of persistenceintentions amongst engineering undergraduates—specifically, students who identify as malehave higher intentions to persist than those who identify as female, and (2) these effects do notdiffer between on-track or off-track students. Additionally, (3) the moderation effect ofbiological sex on self-efficacy is not statistically significant when predicting student engineeringidentity—indicating that neither male nor female students perceive their engineering identity andself-efficacy differently.

The global demand forenergy in the past ten years has increased substantially by almost 100 quadrillion British EnergyUnits and is projected to continue growing based on population and standard of living [1]. Inaddition, a crisis has developed regarding carbon in the atmosphere, causing abnormal climatechanges. The climate is not a trading card; it's our future, and climate change extends beyond anycountry's bounds [2]. Although many innovative solutions are being researched to independentlyincrease our energy efficiency or decrease the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, a resoundingcall for sustainable energy production addresses both issues.

Then, the ethical implicationswere analyzed using the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Code of Ethics aswell as the Utilitarian and Respect for Persons ethical frameworks. The rise in popularity ofCOBOTs in manufacturing has introduced the ethical responsibility to protect employees fromnew risks including physical harm during normal use and malfunctions due to cyber-attack andelectromagnetic interference. Current and future engineers must be educated about the risksassociated with COBOTs and their resultant ethical responsibilities. 1.

Participantsconstruct knowledge by interacting with the puzzles, which may, by design, require collaborationwith other participants. The design of escape rooms often encourages collaboration andcommunication because either the puzzles are complex, benefit from multiple perspectives, orperhaps the puzzles require two or more people to physically interact with an object or set ofobjects.

In engineering learning contexts, asense of belonging is a feeling of inclusion and willingness to engage with one’s students,teachers, and learning materials in academic settings [2]. Further, a sense of belonging impactsthe connection between students and their professors, which is a critical value for studentsuccess.

Recent literature in the learning sciences expands on this evidence bypositioning affect and motivation as epistemic [5]. That is, the emotions that engineersexperience in the doing of engineering are themselves entangled with acts of building knowledgein engineering. By necessity, learning engineering must also attend to learning how one feelswhen doing engineering [6]. Therefore, the learning that undergraduate students engage in is aninherently emotional, or affective, process.

Sociotechnical frameworks forunderstanding engineering practice have been common in science and technology studies (STS)for decades [1] and are increasingly found in discussions within engineering education spaces [2,3, 4, 5]. In fact, sociotechnical approaches to engineering education are even being adopted bydisciplinary engineering faculty in traditional technical engineering courses, often throughcollaborative initiatives driven by faculty with training in or exposure to STS [6, 7].

However, themajority of validation studies in engineering education do not look at how items function forsubgroups of learners, particularly different racial, ethnic, and cultural groups [1].
