3The design contest is modeled after the engineering Request for Proposals (RFP), with each event inthe contest reflecting the process followed by an engineering firm as they answer an engineeringRFP. To develop real-world challenges, WERC partners with industry and government agencies todevelop tasks that address some of the major environmental concerns that the world faces today.Each year, WERC offers a diverse set of design challenges. From these, student teams select onetask to focus on. Each task is designed and sponsored by industry and/or government agencies tosolve a real problem of concern. Sponsorship of a task is an investment in the future workforce, butalso provides the sponsors with fresh and innovative perspectives that often

This will potentially help in selectingand fine tuning the better methodology based on the course outcomes.Data from more recent runs of the course were collected. Some changes were introduced to the courseto minimize the effort requested from students. The weekly surveys were dropped and were exchangedfor one peer evaluation exercise that reflected the conflicted teams. A conflict that is managed wellmay not need to be addressed and was phased out by the teams towards the end of the semester.

FeedbackStudent feedback on the open-ended questions was centered around four coherent themes:consistency and standardization, anonymity and bias reduction, clarity and transparency, andefficiency and turnaround time. The responses reflected a consensus among students on theperceived fairness of grading using Gradescope compared to traditional manual methods.Students appreciated the uniformity in grading standards, emphasizing that everyone was subjectto the same criteria, eliminating potential biases. The anonymity of the grading process washighlighted as a key factor contributing to fairness, ensuring equal treatment for all without theinfluence of personal factors.The efficiency of Gradescope was acknowledged, with students expressing satisfaction

Such a change provided students with moretime to engage with the sensors and electronic components of the kit, gradually building theirskills to handle increasingly complex projects.Furthermore, the course was enhanced to include both an oral presentation and a writtenreport on the projects, adding depth to the learning experience. Reflecting these changes, thegrading structure was revised to better align with this enriched, hands-on educationalapproach, as highlighted in Table II.

In the characteristics section, students identified their preferred learning style andMBTI personality type after completing an online ILS Inventory and a simplified online MBTIassessment. The ILS Inventory, designed by Richard M. Felder and Linda K. Silverman,evaluates preferences across four dimensions: active/reflective, sensing/intuitive, visual/verbal,and sequential/global, offering insights into learning styles. Additionally, learning styles arecommonly discussed using the VARK model (Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, Kinesthetic).Students also indicated their predominant learning mode: visual, auditory, or tactile.The MBTI created

Metacognition is arequired cognitive ability to achieve deep and meaningful learning that can be viewed both fromindividual and shared perspectives. Moreover, when metacognition is facilitated within theCommunity of Inquiry (CoI) and, specifically, through the principles of the Practical InquiryModel (PIM), it can help regulate cognitive presence of self and others [9].

Networks reflect our access to resourcesand support across multiple domains, and we frequently rely on different network actors, andperhaps different networks altogether, for different kinds of resources and support [39].Homophily arises in our social networks as we tend to form relationships with people who aresimilar to us in important ways. Homophily can be a limiting characteristic within our networks,as diverse networks can be sources of diverse information [40], but for minoritized people,homophily can be an important source of support within social networks. For example, LGBTQpeople can find validation and identity support through connections with other LGBTQ people[41], which would be important for STEM students who may have a
