Because a significant challenge faced by SBP participants is a sense ofdeep scrutiny from faculty, [85] it may be particularly helpful to integrate opportunities forpositive, low-stress interactions into math-intensive SBPs. Research RecommendationsThis study confirms the findings of a previous review of SBPs, which found that, given howcommon SBPs are, there is relatively little research on their outcomes. [3, 4] Further, the findingsof this review match those of Lee et al., [86] who found that most published reports related toSBPs are more akin to experience or evaluation reports than to formal research studies, and

In addition to these two economics-oriented modules, in-class activities ontopics of global engineering ethics, culture, DEIB and mental health issues while traveling, likelyexperiences in other cultures, and appropriate technology are included. Because lecture onlyhappens once per week and the class covers a wide range of topics, each topic is intended to bean introduction to the material.

ENGR 1203 is the course at our institution for first-yearstudents who have enrolled in the civil engineering degree program.The redesign of our institution’s first-year engineering program is part of a broader trend in highereducation to develop curricula specifically for first-year engineering students [1].

. Nobel economist Herb Simon characterized engineering as problem solving, asattempting to move from a current state of affairs to a more desirable future state of affairs. The 9expression ‘more desirable’ is the value component. The issue isn’t about engineering ethics. It’sabout the value of engineering practice. In discussing this issue with an engineering professorcolleague we agreed that engineering was concerned with problem solving. We also agreed thatthe practicing engineer doesn’t really know what the problem is. My colleague told me that heteaches his students that they are ‘opportunity actualizes

Computationalthinking, with its focus on algorithmic problem-solving, is a vital skill for engineers [9]. Integratingcomputational skills early and regularly in engineering curricula has been shown to improvestudent outcomes [10]. Similarly, we propose that incorporating data skills throughout thecurriculum can also strengthen engineering formation.Data skills refer to the ability to collect, organize, analyze, visualize, and communicate dataeffectively and ethically.

Therefore, we plan to factor in students’ efforts whenpredicting their course performance.One of the best ways to measure how much a student cares about their academic performance isto analyze their participation in the class [1, 10, 11]. A discussion forum is a platform that enablesstudents to seek help from their peers and instructors. Multiple studies have focused on producingand analyzing the statistical correlation between discussion forum data and student courseperformance [11, 12, 13]. While statistical correlations can benefit inference, student
