Atmany universities, courses meet for 50 minutes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and for75 minutes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. College students, however, begin to lose focus after 15to 20 minutes [1] [2], well before class ends. Several methods have been used to reset students’attention span including applying active

Surface-level changes arequestioned, and more consequential actions and practices are sought out by employees(administrators and faculty in higher education) and their clientele (students) in industry andin academia.

However, this typeof academic and skill preparation oftentimes excludes students who are typically underrepresentedin STEM.As institutions of higher education, community colleges play a crucial role in STEM pathways: in2012, community colleges enrolled nearly half of all U.S. undergraduates [4], and nearly half ofall students in the U.S. who receive STEM bachelor’s degrees complete some undergraduatetraining in community colleges [5].

IntroductionMost computer programming courses focus on teaching teach fundamental concepts andprogrammatic problem solving. Problem solving is considered as the process of workingthrough ambiguity to achieve a certain goal [1]. Assignments in introductory courses is viewedas a dominant tool in reinforcing theoretical concepts and assessing students’ problem-solvingability [2]. In a typical assignment, students are given a problem to which they program asolution and submit the final iteration of their code for evaluation. The student’s entire process ofsolving problems, interacting with the concepts and

STEM appears to be the only field in which African Americans are significantly morelikely than their white counterparts to change majors and earn their degree in another field, apattern that obtains even when controlling for high school academic preparation [2].It is useful to think of underrepresentation by these groups as two separate issues: access andretention.

Simulations are animportant tool to initially evaluate a design since they are relatively low cost compared to lab orfield tests and facilitate quicker iteration [1]. The simulations can then be used to develop atesting plan that can be implemented in the laboratory to complete the evaluation of a design.Students must also be trained to recognize that simulations are not reality and thus experimentalresults might differ from simulation results.

Additionally,the construction industry has been suffering from lack of skilled labor for a long time. Thepandemic worsens the situation since the construction workers are older than workers in otherindustries.

Furtherresearch outlined by Atwood [1] builds on this finding, with students at both large public institutions andsmaller private colleges reporting a significant boost in self-efficacy and rating the approach as having agreater value than cost. This increased motivation has also been observed to be independent of studentperformance, meaning that the observed effect for high performing students was
